Fantine and Eponine are awesome roles, I am very fortunate to be working with the two ladies that are in those roles in my production. They do incredible jobs. Sold out every performance thus far, and might be extending the run, so we'll see. I've been at it for a while now, and I have no understudy, but as long as the voice holds out, and the character continues to come alive, I have no complaints.
I really like the duet that Eponine and Marius sing together before her death...."and I will stay with you, till you are sleeping....and rain....and rain....will make the flowers....will make the flowers............grow."
So sad. Yeah you should go for Eponine if you get the chance. She also stays around a bit longer than Fantine.
Cosette, yeah, she has some lofty songs, you have to be a really strong Soprano to take that one on.
Anyway, if you'd like to start a theatrical thread I would be more than happy to talk theatre, singing, acting, anything you'd like, we could keep it going even if it was just us.
I'd really like to talk with you more about this stuff, because I absolutely love it, but for now I need to go take a shower and vocalize on the way to the theatre because I have a matinee, in 3 hours.
Later
P.S. I'm going to go check out those drawings real quick dan.
Sorry about the theatre stuff Danlo, I think we're just a little excited and zealous after finally finding someone else on here whos into the stuff.
And so on I walk the world,
a slave to this dark fiend,
traveling, traveling, held within a dream......
We--yes I have acting talent too!-- now have our own thread in Gen. Disc. please post these worderful thoughts and experiences there--I don't wish them to be lost in a topic that has nothing to do with them!
