Guest Post by My Sister

Hi! Welcome to my monthly guest post! [This angry red font, by the way, is Xochitl. My sister wanted to do a guest post on here, so I figured I'd let her. XD So long as she doesn't do anything reputation-wrecking... She's just a kid, so be forgiving if her observations are less than professional.] I'm doing a Dream Cast for Les Miserables, because there aren't any recordings that are 'perfect'. It'll probably make at least one of you mad, but I sure hope it doesn't! :)
[Tactful, Sis... Very, very, tactful...]
Let's begin!

Jean Valjean

Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean

I think he made a really good Jean Valjean. He was really sweet with Cosette, and his acting was good. Sometimes his voice got shrimpy, but besides that I thought he was really good.

[Can I just say how much this picture cracks me up? I mean, I bet Marius is off-camera all like "Ahhh! I didn't mean to fall in love with your daughter, don't shoot!"]

 

Javert

Philip Quast as Javert

His voice is really snarly, and in the confrontation he sounds really disgusted with Jean Valjean. His singing voice is really awesome, and Stars was really good! [That's all? I could rant about this guy for ages!]

 

The Bishop of Digne

Colm Wilkinson as Bishop Myriel

Aw, he was so awesome! And he made a really good Bishop. I like how they brought him back in the end, too!

 

Fantine

Ruthie Henshall as Fantine

 Ahhh, she sounded really awesome. He character was really good, and she was really pitiful in lots of parts. I really liked how she did Fantine's Death, too.

 

Cosette

Amanda Seyfried as Cosette [She's the one on the left :D]

Her voice was what Cosette's voice should sound like, her high notes were really pretty! A Heart Full of Love sounded the best, out of all the Cosette songs. She was sweet, and she was actually sad when Jean Valjean left at the end!

 

Marius

Michael Ball as Marius

Allright. He's the best Marius I could find. His voice is pretty good, and his acting is adorable! I really liked him in A Heart Full of Love, the way he was straightening out his clothes to impress Cosette!

 

Thenardier

[We could not find a picture of this slimy guy. But she picked the fellow from the Complete Symphonic Recording.]

Well, he's funny in Master of the House, and he's creepy in Dog Eat Dog, like it's supposed to be. And he sounds really... grunge-y.

 

Madame Thenardier

Jenny Galloway as Madame Thenardier

She's really funny. The Thenardiers are gross, so let's get off them quickly!

 

Eponine

Samantha Barks as Eponine [Hey, what is that down in the corner? A giant prune?!]

She really looked like Eponine, and her acting was pretty good! I liked her best in A Little Fall of Rain. The acting was really sad. She was actually acting like she was shot, but it wasn't disturbing or hammy.

 

Gavroche

Daniel Huttlestone as Gavroche

He makes a really good Gavroche, even if I can't understand what he's saying sometimes. [Subtitles would come in handy, to translate his cockney accent.] It was funny how he kept singing Little People while they were beating up Javert.

 

Enjolras

Harpo Marx Aaron Tveit as Enjolras

He sounded best in The Final Battle. His acting was really good, it gave Enjolras a personality besides "RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!". And his voice sounds like a muffin! :D [I... don't know how to explain it, she thinks that if his singing voice were a food, it would be a muffin. I cannot explain why. -_-"]

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed my Dream Cast! See you next month!

[And I'll see you... Sometime this week. XD]
