It was the great experience of my life! I will NEVER forget my opening on Broadway. A 10 minute standing ovation for Carol on her opening entrance!! And not a dry eye in the house when she came down the stairs in that red dress dor the Dolly number. It was amazing!

if you don't mind my asking...male or female? Could everyone in the ensemble sing, dance, and act incredibly?

Male...The ensemble was a great cast. Everyone sang and acted and danced very well. We were on the road for 18 months and on Broadway 3 months and there was never a cast replacement. We really got along.

There are so many previous young Cosettes in the Central Jersey area- When you go to see high school shows, you see a lot of them credit their Les Miz role in their bios.

BrooklynsChild- Was she in the original cast? I have the recording- Those kids are very talented that were in the revival.

"CORN? When did I eat corn?"

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

yes, unfortunatley one of the young Cosettes goes to my school-she did the tour, not Broadway, and MAN does she have an ego. she's too good for our school shows so she only does Papermill. sadly, shes not really that talented, she just knows a LOT of people.

I thought when children are cast in shows they are generally just cast if their personality is similar to that of the character. It isn't as much about talent at that young of an age. Any opportunity to do something in theatre shouldn't be turned down if that is what you want to do with your life.
