Diana Kaarina gave a very touching performance of "On My Own." I think I liked it so much because it was restrained at the beginning and she waited to really focus her tone and come out with her guns blazing until the bridge. She then reins it in again so that the fortissimo on ""A world that's full of happiness that I have never known" hits you with full effect. In other words, she left herself somewhere to go and room to grow.
Love how Eponine keeps pulling Marius back every time he tries to leave to find help. "I'm fine. Really. Just please don't leave me again!" YEEEEEEESS!!!! FINALLY!!! A version where they kiss while she's still alive!
Gavroche is the youngest child of the Thenardiers, whom they kicked out on the streets of London after leaving their tavern. He went to see them occasionally but had no relationship with any of them, even his sisters.
The film obviously didn't cover everything that was in the book. In the book, Madam Thenadier had a son- Gavroche- whom she absolutely hated. She pretty much threw him out on the street because she didn't want to deal with him, and he took care of himself. If you pay attention to the scene right after A Little Fall of Rain, the shot pointedly switches to Gavroche, who is crying. Also, when they are shown among the dead, they are lying side by side.
Gavroche has to younger brothers who aren't even named who were also kicked out and he ends up finding and caring for them and doesn't even know their his brothers. They show that in the non-musical movie. And in the book but not in the musical. They also don't show that Eponine has a younger sister (Azelma) in the musical.
Diana really enunciates everything doesn't she... I guess that it's not a bad thing... I mean you understand her every word... but... sometimes it sounds funky.
Question 1: why do so many performances take Javert offstage for "ALFoR" if they're just going to bring him back on for "The First Attack"? Granted, his presence would be a bit distracting for "ALFoR," but still . . . Question 2: in this video, Javert clearly gets tied up with his coat on, yet when he comes on in the next segment, he's still tied up but not wearing his coat. Assuming this were real life, would the students untie him, take his coat off, and tie him up again?

@BondiRescueLifeguard Yeah i just figure that its not Nick but still the Gavorche is weak Nick's was like a yeah later. Yeah in the book she asked him to kiss her on the forehead :'( but that song was quick even though she has a beautiful voice! Just in all the versions i've seen she didnt kiss him just in the book :)
Why is there always a woman dressed as a baker at the barricade? Every production I've seen has at least one. Does she want bread justice or something?
This Eponine needs to learn to act and she was rushing thru the song. And this Marius acts like it's another day. Where is the emotion? I guess I'm just stuck on Michael Ball and Lea Salonga's performance. THAT was something to remember.
Never does she kiss him and that death was quick i was all like wow is it over already! *KISS* *DEATH* wow that Gavorche is Nick Jonas when he was like 12 i can tell and he is now Marius PLEASE!! Don't get me wrong I love this play and love you for it but this one is not the best cast Fantine Cosette and Eponine all have beautiful
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh you've seen the film so you must know. Oh my gosh that is just...just....just....i'm sorry but seriously you need to read the book. They don't show it in the musical so no you don't know everything just cause you watched the film. What you just said is a joke. Read the book and stop commenting before you embarrass you'reself further.
