"Eh-pown-een". Trust me- it's a favorite musical of mine. They sometimes call her "'Ponine", pronounced "pown-een". Hope I helped!

According to johncaird.com, she was the Cosette understudy in the OLC; but in the original Barbican production for cost savings, many cast members (including the principals) played several background chorus characters.

1980 in Paris.

The performance itself lasts for 2 hours and 30 minutes plus a 30 minute intermission between Act 1 and Act 2.

Les Miserables takes place around 10-15 years after Napoleon's reign. It is during the time of the June Rebellion.

It opened on Broadway on March 12th, 1987

The majority of the musical-movie Les Miserables was filmed in Southern England. Pinewood Studios were used as a filming base. Specifically speaking, Greenwich, London and Winchester College were heavily influenced by the movie's filming stage. I hope this helps!

The men at the barricade in Les Miserables are vastly outnumbered by the government troops. The student revolutionaries fighting for change are facing almost insurmountable odds as they fight against the powerful military forces of the established government.

the up raising of the poor

Jean Valjean asked Javert for a brief period to retrieve Cosette before surrendering himself to the authorities.

Madeline jeopardizes concealing his true identity by revealing his past to save an innocent man, thereby exposing himself to Javert's suspicions. Additionally, his noble actions and kindness towards others ultimately lead suspicion towards his true identity as Jean Valjean.

Fantine sings "I Dreamed a Dream." In it, she comments on how innocent she was, how romanticized her view of the world was, and how that has all come tumbling down around her. It is sung at the point in the musical where she finds herself without a job as she tries to support her young daughter, Cosette.

I had been told that it is something like John Johnson in English, thus a jedeman.

Finale (Do You Hear the People Sing?)

Some minor characters in Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables" include Gavroche, the streetwise young boy; Madame Thenardier, the innkeeper's wife; and Cosette's wealthy suitor, Marius Pontmercy. These characters play important roles in the story despite not being central figures.

Well I feel the story of Les Miserables wouldn't be interesting IF there weren't any songs. The songs are so beautiful and they all tell a story. If the whole show was just lines, I don't think it would be as good. But even though it's all singing, the acting is just as important.

If you are asking about the first sin committed in Les Miserables, then you must mean Jean Valjean stealing the loaf of bread.He was living with he sister and all her children after her husband died. The family was hungry and they had not a dime to their name. Jean Valjean then broke a window and took a fresh loaf of bread, the baker saw him and knew who he was. The baker then told the police who arrested Jean Valjean for 5 years and sentenced him to work in the galleys, breaking large rocks. In total, Jean was incarcerated for 19 years, after making several escape attempts. This is considered the original sin, as it sets the whole story up after Jean Valjean is released.

The character singing the song, Eponine, is venting her feelings into the night because the man she loves doesn't love her, but instead wants Eponine to help him find his true love. She says that she loves him and always will do and is imagining him with her.

Bearing in mind, this was set in 19th century France, with battles and fights everywhere you turn. Emotions were running high so if performing, I would suggest to smile but still be emotional, because she is happy when she is thinking about him.

Is English it is "The Miserables".

This quote "To love another person is to see the face of God" appears in Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables in the final pages of the book, during the closing scene where Valjean is dying and Cosette and Marius are with him. It is a powerful and emotional moment that highlights the transformative nature of love and redemption.

Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil wrote the music and lyrics for Les Misérables.

Yes, in the Broadway/ Musical version...If anything is spoken its a line here and a word there. Like 99.9% of the show is sung.

ok not to be mean but 1st of all the tigers come at night is just a line in the song. The song is really called i dreamed a dream, and you need permission because someone else wrote that song so you need they're permission
