Carrie Hope Fletcher is absolutely marvelous. The reason that she had been repeatedly cast as Eponine and will be repeatedly cast as Fantine is that she brings a dimension to her Les Miserables roles that reflect her sincere love and profound understanding of one of the greatest musicals of all time. Also, she has one of the most beautiful and powerful voices in musical theatre.
You know you’ve been following Carrie for too long when you recognise this being the version they did for the les miserables 30 year at west end thing when they had two eponines and fantines singing this Post reading the comments edit: You know you’ve been following Carrie for too long when you ARE SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF THE UK AND HAVE LITERALLY ONLY EVER HEARD THIS VERSION ONCE BEFORE recognise this being the version they did for the les miserables 30 year at west end thing when they had two eponines and fantines singing this... sheesh
Only just now seeing your comment, but for this particular performance they were asked to riff on this I can’t remember exactly why and Carrie panicked in rehearsals cause she doesn’t normally riff
Carrie Hope Fletcher is just a wonder. A gift to musical theatre. There's two voices in Les Mis that have something extra magical and unworldly about them. I mean they're all perfection, but Carrie and Alfie Boe are in a different dimension.
And, in my opinion anyway, Norm Lewis as Javert, Samantha Barks as Eponine is pretty damn good too. Oh and Robert Madge as Gavroche, and lastly Ramin Karimloo as Enjolras! I wish I could make my perfect Les Mis and see it live! To be honest I'd just love to see it live full stop. Someday maybe, someday.... But man, the Norm Lewis vs Alfie Boe rendition of The Confrontation is phenomenal. What a treat it would ever be to see THAT live. I'd be in heaven!
I'm late, but the piano at the front is for the guest-performer or solist. The piano we can hear in this clip is probably at the back of the orchestra 😉😄
YES YES YES ! Absolutely thrilled she will stay Fantine in the Sondheim, so I get a change to see her. Love Carries performances but was amazed by the girl who played Eponine as well!
Truly beautiful they both did amazing Carrie Is my all time favourite singer met her twice she is just has lovely in person 😊 I can't help but know she really had to nervous pee while singing this aha
And i know It's only in my mind, That i'm talking to myself And not to him. And although i know that he is blind, Still i say, There's a way for us. I love him, But when the night is over he is gone. The river's just a river. Without him, The world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers. I love him, But every day i'm learning All my life, I've only been pretending! Without me, His world will go on turning, A world that's full of happiness that i have never known! I love him... I love him... I love him... But only on my own...
Mr Blue Sky yeah, it’s super weird that I’m happy to see diversity and representation in theater. Especially with one of my fav characters that I had previously only seen cast one way. Super weird of me to be excited about that as a POC who didn’t grow up feeling represented in a profession that I love.
@@wilddaisyprincess you tried to make out that I think it is weird to hear someone say they're glad to see diversity in roles in theatre, which is obviously not my point. My point was it was odd to refer to her as being "chocolate"
I went to the musical les miserables in London last December honestly I felt she wasnt feeling the music she didnt make me feel anything Shan Ako as Eponine was amazing her voice her energy almost cried. Both of them have wonderful voices.
@@fearnevlogs It's actually her real name too, but what I'm saying is the BBC have used Carrie Hope-Fletcher when they should use Carrie Hope Fletcher. Hope is Carrie's middle name.
I think they were actually asked to make it that way, Carrie said in one of her videos that it was kinda new for her. And how it’s never really been allowed for les mis before.
Beth Burnett yes I watched that video but I replied before 😂 she had said that Shan knew what she was doing and she didn’t so she freaked out bless her
she wasn’t trying to sing louder than her...sometimes technical things go wrong and Carrie also did most of the belting in the ending so she was bound to be louder and on top of the microphone issue, you can hear that Shan is a lot quieter than Carrie even when she sings ‘on her own’👀 so if you didn’t like it don’t say anything 👁👄👁

Yes it’s been announced that’s she will be playing fantine at the Sondheim theatre till July 2020
Yes - the dimension she brings is guaranteed ticket sales.
Her and Rachelle Ann Go will be playing Fantine when the show returns couldn’t have casted any more talented ladies
Shes amazing
I agree !!

TheATRAs14 is the same one Rachel and Eva did at west end live in like 2016
They sing this mix everywhere in the uk lmao regardless of the cast. It’s kind of fuckin annoying
I just love Carries Voice. I saw her play Eponie, and I've seen her as Fantine
I'm such a fan
I love Les Miserables too :)
Knowing that right before Carrie went on she literally confessed she "had to nervous wee"makes me giggle so much
Usually I hate it when people try to riff in Les Mis but these two beauties make it work!
Meghan Robertshaw I mean this was a concert performance so I think it can have more flexibility in this situation!
Only just now seeing your comment, but for this particular performance they were asked to riff on this I can’t remember exactly why and Carrie panicked in rehearsals cause she doesn’t normally riff
She is making the same riff Rachelle Anne Go made on their version with Patti amd Frances.
Oh my. Carrie Hope Fletcher that high note 💖
3:21 sounds like Shan on the higher note!

This arrangement is so strange but magical to seen knowing Carrie has played both roles in her career.
I remember watching Shan get ROBBED on X Factor last year, and it's so nice to see both her and Carrie THRIVING! We love to see it!!
Literal goosebumps and tears!!! 2:58 oh my gosh!!! Carrie is incredible. Shan is incredible. Just amazing!!!
I think that Shan and Carrie must be my favourite eponine/fantine duo yet! Amazing voices, great acting and those riffs were 😍 xx
Rosie is this you?
The question is, who is the invisible person playing the piano.
Lucia Hornickel good question
Omg shook
😂😂
I keep expecting the keys to move on their own 😂
I'm late, but the piano at the front is for the guest-performer or solist. The piano we can hear in this clip is probably at the back of the orchestra 😉😄
Shan Ako...in a league of her own.
Wow Shan makes On My Own sound so easy. Her belts are so seamless and she looks like so comfortable. She’s amazing!!
I love how well their voices compliment eachother and there’s no trying to out do eachother theres no competition. It’s beautiful ❤️
Reduced👏🏽to👏🏽tears 😭 what a mashup! I really felt not only the power in their voices but their emotion too! 💖👌🏾✨ Xxx
You all have a favourite for Fantine, Eponine and the rest of the cast, however you do not get cast in Les Mis if you are no good.
Carrie Hope Fletcher + Shan Ako = perfection
YES YES YES ! Absolutely thrilled she will stay Fantine in the Sondheim, so I get a change to see her. Love Carries performances but was amazed by the girl who played Eponine as well!
omg that arrangement ❤️ when i saw them both playing this febr at the west end i couldn't stop crying. especially Carrie touched me so deep...
Hold me still, Carrie joining Eponine's song is giving me so many feels ❤️
Two amazing singers and a fantastic performance (I'd have preferred to just hear the two songs one after another, but this was a clever arrangement)
oh my god Shan and Carrie haven't even STARTED singing yet and i'm already crying
Chills guys. Literal chills.
I love Carrie so much! She is an inspiration!
Absolutely stunning!
This sent shivers down me, so overwhelming ❤
Utter perfection ❤️
OUTSTANDING
Truly beautiful they both did amazing Carrie Is my all time favourite singer met her twice she is just has lovely in person 😊 I can't help but know she really had to nervous pee while singing this aha
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Xx
This song gave me goosebumps. Thanks!
Smashed it! ShanAko is amazing
This duo is powerrr!!
Melodious voice . Love.
I could listen to Carrie all day long 💜🙏
Simply marvelous. I had shivers
Goosebumps ❤️
2:40 - constant chills followed by a little bit of crying until the end of the song. 😭😭❤❤

Amazing and my favorite song !
So beautiful! 😍
major goosebumps
Wow. I don't think Carrie has ever heard better!
And i know
It's only in my mind,
That i'm talking to myself
And not to him.
And although i know that he is blind,
Still i say,
There's a way for us.
I love him,
But when the night is over he is gone.
The river's just a river.
Without him,
The world around me changes.
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers.
I love him,
But every day i'm learning
All my life,
I've only been pretending!
Without me,
His world will go on turning,
A world that's full of happiness that i have never known!
I love him...
I love him...
I love him...
But only on my own...
I hope Carrie and rachelle could do this. Carrie as Eponine and Rachelle as fantine.
I really dislit when people can sing. Iy makes me cry and my unborn baby kicks up the storm. This was beautiful..but why am I crying at this Lord....
I’ve loved Shan since X-Factor. She gifted and blessed. A beautiful voice and heart.🥰😍❤️
SANG CARRIE and SHAN!!!!!
Sang children.
This shit here is glorious
AAAH A CHOCOLATE EPONINE YAAAAS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Bit of a weird thing to say
Mr Blue Sky yeah, it’s super weird that I’m happy to see diversity and representation in theater. Especially with one of my fav characters that I had previously only seen cast one way. Super weird of me to be excited about that as a POC who didn’t grow up feeling represented in a profession that I love.
@@wilddaisyprincess Yeah. Don't try that stuff on me, it will never work. I meant it is weird that you referred to her as chocolate.
Mr Blue Sky “that stuff” lol ok.

great song
Sublime!💝💝💝💝
Wow! 👏 👏 👏
Amazing!!
N. A. I. L. E. D. I. T. ! ! !
Oh my goodness!!! YEESSSSS!!!!!!!

Shan is incredible!!
The glorious Shan Ako and Tom Fletcher's sister.
Shan and Carrie
Eva and Rachelle
Who’s next?
YES. MA’AM.
Esse música desperta os sentimentos de emoção de muitas pessoas!
Goosebumps!
I want this tattooed on my forehead!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG YEEEESSSS!!!! GO CARIEEE
Amazing 🥰
Love Carrie, and to her haters shame on you, the creators picked her for reason and she’s not fat at all. Let’s praise her instead of bashing her.
Want me to cry on command, play anything from the les miserables soundtrack
Great
I went to the musical les miserables in London last December honestly I felt she wasnt feeling the music she didnt make me feel anything Shan Ako as Eponine was amazing her voice her energy almost cried. Both of them have wonderful voices.
Incredible wow
Carrie is incredible
Dear BBC - Hope is Carrie's middle name, not the first part of a double-barrelled surname. Please change the description!
Andy Hartley it’s her stage name
@@fearnevlogs It's actually her real name too, but what I'm saying is the BBC have used Carrie Hope-Fletcher when they should use Carrie Hope Fletcher. Hope is Carrie's middle name.
Andy Hartley yes I know her middle name is hope but Carrie Hope Fletcher is her stage name it’s in all the programmes
@@fearnevlogs Exactly, it's Carrie Hope Fletcher, not Carrie Hope-----Fletcher. See the difference now? ;)
Shan's voice. Holy shit 💙
Carrie is one of the best fantines
A. how have people disliked this??? Please tell me.
B. anyone else crying watching this because they miss the theatre so much, or is it just me?
NO ONE IN THE WORLD sings this like Katie Hall
What an amazing voice!! Didn’t know she was Tom’s sister!! Go Tom Smash Strickley!!! 🥰🏴👍
There was no need to make it pop sounding with all those riffs, unnecessery... without those, beautiful! They have lovely voices.
helr - it was for a concert so they could be more flexible I get where your coming from tho
I think they were actually asked to make it that way, Carrie said in one of her videos that it was kinda new for her. And how it’s never really been allowed for les mis before.
Beth Burnett yes I watched that video but I replied before 😂 she had said that Shan knew what she was doing and she didn’t so she freaked out bless her
Fearne Robinson fair enough that’s what I thought, and tbh they’re both so talented
I turned it off at the first riff. Great talents, and I’m sure they are great ladies... just want this great music to be riff free.
Meu Deus do céu!!!
Que maravilhosas!!
CARRRRIIIIEEEEE
Carrie we saw this from back stage on your youtube channel. So pleased to see it front of stage. You rock lady
am i sat here sobbing? yes. yes i am.
WoW Sian is insane.
3:10 got the tears flowing👍
i love Shan Ako as Eponine
Oh my god
THIS GAVE ME FUCKING CHILLS
Please could we have a Gabrielle video.. preferably 'Shine' :)
Shan's performance is out of this world amazing.
Carrie is a great singer but being loudest isn't always the same as being best.
Katherine McGinn I don’t think she was trying to sing loader I think her mic was turned up
@@colonyofrats4193 I don't think so. She actively gets louder when shan comes out.
she wasn’t trying to sing louder than her...sometimes technical things go wrong and Carrie also did most of the belting in the ending so she was bound to be louder and on top of the microphone issue, you can hear that Shan is a lot quieter than Carrie even when she sings ‘on her own’👀 so if you didn’t like it don’t say anything 👁👄👁
Came here for the riffing described in Ollie's Good Morning, World
Where’s the Bonnie Tyler footage
Wow. At least I know my brain is still producing dopamine
