Has anyone ever had a good Gavroche?
Oooh yes. (Justen Steinagle, Dutch Whitlock, Noah Galvin...)
The best Gavs are NOT precocious little brats, IMO. None of those boys were. :)

Posted: 12/28/06 at 8:03pmI've always wanted to see a Gavroche that was sweet on top of the toughness that is required for his way of life. Would that work?

Posted: 12/28/06 at 8:03pmAll the Mariuseses I've seen have been really sissy. They make Raoul look like The Rock. Enjolras does it more for me. Hee.

Posted: 12/28/06 at 8:05pmIt's funny, I sound critical of the show, but I really do love it. It's got its flaws but somehow the sum of the parts just works.

Posted: 12/28/06 at 8:06pmType a Tiff - agreed. Enjolras has always been my favorite. I'm all for strong women but I LOVE a powerful man...and that would be Enjolras because Mairus is a sissy. He should be in the musical version of Little Women, not next to Enjolras.

I have heard that Rich Affannato(Marius), Kate Fisher(Cosette), and Rona Figueroa(Eponine)had great chemistry. I saw Rich and Rona, and thought both were outstanding, both are some of my favorites in each role. Kate was out the night I saw the show, and I wish I could have seen her.
As for Gavroche, Jason Mays is the one that stood out for me, had a lot of engery but not really braty.
