i’m a soprano, and cosette is my dream role of dream roles. yet i have always wanted to sing the national guardsman’s solo before the final battle. it always gives me chills.

i really want to be madame thénardier in my school’s les mis production, but i just know our director is going to prefer another girl, because this will by my first time auditioning. it breaks my heart, because i believe i can play the part better than her!

when i was 5 i asked my mom to take me to london so i could audition for “the lonely girl who sings on my own”. now i’m 15 and one of my dreams is being the first woman to play “the man that stole a loaf of bread” on broadway.

when my all-girls school put on a production of les mis, i was ecstatic because my dream role is éponine. i was going to audition for her part, until i realised that everyone else wanted to be her too, so i had no chance. instead, i was the only girl to audition for jean valjean; i got the part. now he’s my dream role, and it breaks my heart that i’ll never get to play him again.

my dream role is the second gendarme from valjean’s arrest.

ever since i was thirteen, all of my voice teachers have told me that i am a tenor. when i auditioned for les mis, i was cast as jean valjean. but i would sell my soul to the devil just to play javert; he is by far the greatest character in the entire show.

i played valjean in high school. the study of the character and story helped me find my place in the world. without les misérables, i don’t know where i would be right now. knowing that so many other people share the love i have for the story only strengthens how much it means to me. i hope i will someday be able to be in a professional production of the show, for it will forever be my favorite.

i’ve always wanted to be that guy who yells, “troops behind them, fifty men or more!” in the first attack

i’ve wanted to play éponine since i was a child. i have nightmares that i won’t get the part if my community theatre ever puts on a production. that’s how much it means to me.

i’d give anything to play éponine; while i know could act the part, i don’t think i could do her justice vocally.

i’m so excited to see amanda seyfried play cosette! cosette is my dream role and i’m told i look like amanda on a daily basis, so i can’t wait to see the two put together.

this musical has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams. it’s not a question of can or can’t; i will. i will play éponine one day, and someday, you will see me on that stage.

when thinking about how i would be cast in les mis, i dream of fantine. but i know in reality i would be cast as madame thénardier because i have “one of those faces”.

i have this fantasy that at the performing arts camp i go to every summer, they’ll do les mis and i’ll get cast as éponine. i constantly sing her songs and pretend it’s happening.

i want to play jean valjean more than even macbeth and iago, but i can’t sing. perhaps i can do a movie like liam neeson someday, but it just won’t be the same as singing “i am warning you javert!” in the confrontation.
