eponine really has negative charisma
i mean look at the book
she's a trainwreck and i love her and most of that is definitely because of her upbringing and current poverty but some is probably just her
like, the first meeting between eponine and marius is terribly sad (because of her defensiveness and being genuinely messed up) but also terribly funny (if you consider it from marius's pov)
that is to say, let my wife be shit at talking to people

ideal les miserables cast/my preferred/favourite actor for each les miserables character
note: just my opinion, and i also might have two or more actors for each character.
jean valjean: colm wilkinson
javert: phillip quast, maybe hadley fraser. throw in a little bit of russel crowe and it's perfect! (yes i like him as javert don't shoot me)
fantine: ruthie henshall
bishop myriel: also colm wilkinson
little cosette: whoever was in the original london cast recording. i can't find the name, but she is my favourite.
thenardier: alum armstrong
madame thenardier: jenny galloway
gavroche: daniel huttlestone, maybe braden danner with more of an accent. i love the way his voice flows! so a combo of those two.
eponine: lea salonga
cosette: katie hall or judy kuhn.
marius: eddie redmayne
enjolras: ramin karimloo. i definitely considered aaron tveit for a bit, but mainly because he's blonde (i'm sorry it's true) so he's second.
grantaire: hadley fraser. george bladgen was a helluva close second, but hadley takes it. no i will not accept criticism.
loud hailer: lin-manuel miranda and hadley fraser
the abc society: honestly? how they were casted in the movie. BECAUSE THE MOVIE HAS A BAHOREL AND THAT"S THE MAIN REASON!!! GIVE ME STAGE BAHOREL YOU COWARDS!
anyway that's it, feel free to disagree, but i'm kinda too tired to argue right now. also if you agree with these choices, good for you! and if you haven't seen the ham4ham video of lin doing the loud hailer bit. oh boy, you are missing out.
I was Eponine yesterday for Halloween, and I got guesses of a chimney sweep, Oliver Twist, Artful Dodger, and “the Artful Dodger’s friend”. Oh well.
So Fantine and Eponine are foils of each other and parallel Jean Valjean and Javert.
Fantine and Eponine are bound to those they love but are separated by maternal love (Fantine) and romantic love (Eponine).
Meanwhile Jean Valjean and Javert are bound to God but are separated by the need to follow God's teachings (Valjean) and the laws driven by religion (Javert).
They are essentially the same characters who are driven by the same thing however lead different paths.
