Thank you. I’m feeling a lot more confident about what to write now. I’ll just include a photo I think and as I live in London, I hope it won’t get lost! Do I address it to the stage door of the theatre or the main address?

Hi, I’m 14 and completely obsessed with Chess (although I have never been able to see the show) and was thinking about writing to Michael Ball. I’ve never written any letters to actors or actresses before but I would really like to write him a letter. Does anybody know if it is worth it and if he will reply? And should I write to the theatre or to his ‘fan’ address? Ps, is it rude to ask for something back, like a signed photo or something? Thanks in advance x

The best experience I’ve ever had was when my dad took me to see Les Misérables in London. We had front row seats in the middle and it was so exhilarating. You felt so connected with the characters. The best part was whilst the actress was singing IDAD as she looked at me and I could see the pain in her eyes. I left the show feeling shaky with lots of goosebumps. I’d seen the show twice before and seen many concerts but hands down this was the best one yet.

For example, in the original Broadway production of "Les Miserables" the actress who played Eponine was actually a member of the ensemble prior to becoming Eponine; she was a whore in "Lovely Ladies" and a female worker in "At the End of the Day" and appeared in numerous other ensemble parts at the beginning of Act 1. Also, i...

So clueless haha! I can’t stand Andy Mientus.

I know this is a really old thread so sorry but I can’t stand people ranking Èponine over Fantine. Although Èponine has more stage time, they have about the same number of songs and Fantine is so much more important to the plot. If Èponine wasn’t in the story at all, it wouldn’t matter. If Fantine wasn’t, Cosette’s part wouldn’t make sense. I also think it is weird that Èponine comes back at the end to take Valjean to heaven because he doesn’t know her so why is she there ? I swear it’s just ...

Thank you so much. I think I am going to go with ‘Now that I’ve seen her’ from Miss Saigon or ‘Woman’ from Pirate queen.

Hi. My secondary school is doing Les Miserables as my school production next month and I’m freaking out. I MUST be in a lead role. I really want Éponine or Fantine. Here’s the thing, the age range of my school is 11-16. I’m 14 but have a strong voice. The boy I want to sing with is 15 but has the best voice in the school and I’m pretty sure he will be cast as Valjean. If I am Éponine I have no songs with him really as the letter scene is cut for length. I suppose now I will go for Fantine but...
