Her acting and singing are in such harmony! I love the frustrated look that she gives during the belting, until it becomes more confused - which is something I feel that is so embodied in the lyrics and music itself.
I saw her in Phantom of the Opera 3 years ago. I had come mostly to hear John Owen-Jones, and I was a little worried that the Christine opposite him might not be good enough to match his voice... Well... As soon as I heard her, I was no longer worried! She was amazing.
I appreciate this version because 1.) technically she is a FANTASTIC singer and 2.) the way she sings it brings out the anger and rage behind the character more than other versions where they capture the emptiness and depression. She's pissed! She becomes an angry tigress, and I think it's fantastic!!!! New perspective!
When Les Mis cast change was announced last year I was literally devestated that Celinde would stop as Fantine! She sings so beautiful and her acting is unbelievable. When I saw her as Fantine I had shivers on my back when she was singing I Dreamed A Dream and I nearly criend when Fantine died.
I have seen a lot of musical theatre ( 35 years) and when i saw her in Phantom a few years ago . she just pushed me back in my seat with a very sharp intake of breath . She sang with buscher stephen Barry , and you can see her inkling of her further hidden vocal talent towards the end .
Ok so ppl might come for me or whatever but this might be controversial but Scott Paige, celinde, Oliver ormson and Carrie hope fletcher would make a outstanding band 🥺
I went to see it in 2013 I prefer na-young jeon singing it but I mostly like lea selonga as fantine celinde schoenmaker looks abit like Sierra bogges abit
Hands down. The best Fantine in the West End.
A beautiful voice and a powerful sound.
A beautiful voice and a powerful sound.
That "shame" at 2:03.... Perfect
Celinde Schoenmaker is without a doubt the greatest female singer in the west end now. She is absolutely OUTSTANDING
We saw Phantom and met Celinde on Saturday (see my newest vlog!). My sister and I love her so much we both cried!!
Willemijn Verkaik was also at the West end at the same time ;) The 2 best voices of the west end were dutch !!
Her and Carrie hope fletcher are incredible xx
When it reopens bring her to Broadway, in any role
her voice... so strong I love her so much
Celinde is the Next Generation of amazing vocal artists. The future of musical theater is in very safe hands.
Spellbinding.

I don't know how Celinde feels but it comes across as this is her signature song. :)
She is just perfect for this role of Fantine. Her acting combined with that immense power she has in her voice, she controls soooo well. LOVE her !
OMG! She's STUNNING!!!
Yes, I have to agree - Stunning indeed!
Ahhhh Celine and Carrie the best West End friends in the history of West end friends
I know And now Carrie is Fantine x
Exactlyyyt wait wait wait carrie and Scott are an iconic duo to tho gotta admit xx

hauntingly beautiful on many levels devastated she left the show before I had chance to see her live
Richard Jones Agree. Was planning to see her in West End, but then they announced she would stop playing Fantine in Les Mis :(
No one else compares to her. Best Fantine ever.
She is the perfect Fantine! Saw her perfom about two weeks ago and I can't get over her absolutely flawless performance!
this is very underrated
Every time I hear her voice, I burst into tears. I can't even help it - just an automatic reaction to the pure beauty in her voice

Celinde Schonmaker is head and shoulders the best female singer on the west end
Gareth Glover yeah yeah yeah yeh
She is awesome saw her in London last week and she was amazing, plus the fact that she is also smoking hot.
I'm going to cry she's so good
We saw Phantom and met Celinde on Saturday (see my newest vlog!). My sister and I love her so much we both cried!!
One of the best renditions of this song.
No matter how many times I watch this it makes me cry every. single. time.

Yeah, but she moved onto PHANTOM as Christine! That's a pretty awesome change, isn't it?
I know! I had to see her as Christine so I planned a special trip to London and it was absolutely worth it! She was absolutely astonishing :D
I was actually sobbing while watching this... Wow, I love her, her voice is strong and amazing, I don't know what to say hahaha

Would love to see her take on Elphaba on Broadway.
Rachelle (Fantine for the 2015-2016 season) is so amazing. I will miss Celinde so much, but you guys should go check out Rachelle too :)

Nice.
Beautiful ! My friend met her recently and I'm green with envy! I have my own cover of this song on my channel but honestly, I could not match this!
those 6 people that disliked it are obviously deaf or forgot to turn the hearing aid on
Offensive
👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ok so ppl might come for me or whatever but this might be controversial but Scott Paige, celinde, Oliver ormson and Carrie hope fletcher would make a outstanding band 🥺
Do you have anymore?
😲😍💕👍
She saw the camera
Didn't she play Christine Daae after this as well
Yes
Why is she not Elsa?
cameo of edward hoepelman in her lips hahahahah
I went to see it in 2013 I prefer na-young jeon singing it but I mostly like lea selonga as fantine celinde schoenmaker looks abit like Sierra bogges abit
Fantine is much more suitable for her! don't like her Christine
Rachel H are you crazy mate ??
This is not singing, this is shouting.
NumaticVacuum maybe you do not understand the lyrics
NumaticVacuum are you deaf mate, can you not hear the singing in that??
Elphaba Glinda Thropp I think it was sang better by Ruthie.
NumaticVacuum good to know
You should see Celinde as Christine in The Phantom Of The Opera
