What I love about musical theatre is that there are so many ways to interpret the same scene. For instance, in the 10th anniversary, Lea seemed at peace, and seemed to accept that she had no chance of living, and Michael seemed to put on a facade, smiling at the end a little, so that she could leave without concerns. Here however, both Gareth and Rosalind seemed so desperate, and to me, it seemed like she was trying to tell him it's alright, but deep inside she's a fraid too. And both are great
I don't like the character Marius, but this guy was a great actor/singer. I like how he actually acted upset when Eponine died in his arms. And don't even get me started on the Eponine....I think that Rosalind James is my favorite Eponine I've seen so far.
I liked this. I liked how Garrett Gates actually had a reaction to Eponine dying and throughout the whole thing he seemed really shaken up. Being the e/e shipper that I am i also liked it when Enjolras picked up Eponine's hat and looked over it.
Yes! We saw that, too. A different Eponine, but still black/white. I didn't mind, but it was amusing. My aunt leaned over and said "That's one heck of a tan."
I didn't watch this because I thought Nikki sang this (Nikki is a good singer but she sings the songs way too fast) but I almost cried watching it, although I did laugh when she stood up and fell back down after she said she didn't think she could stand. But I love how Garreth was sad AS she was dying not after. It was more believeable here. Thumbs up to them!
She is amazing as Eponine, I think that she is great cauze she stops with that thing of a sweet Eponine that is how she should because of her rough childhood, she is great

its Gareth Gates! I couldn't believe it when i saw it on iTunes
I love this version. Gareth and Rosalind's voices work so well together.

Can't blame the other Marius though, he was supposed to be a big jerk to Eponine in the novel so it's an accurate adaptation on their part.
Lovely performance. The original audio adds to my understanding and appreciation of the acting choices. Thanks for sharing.
I just loved the 2011 cast acting! It was perfect!
my God this kept my tears from falling
This was amazing acting/singing
I have the CD of this cast

Love this Marius!!! :'(
When i performed this scene, I did a bit of both, and also I tried to make my character comfort him and eponine, it was so sad

The Marius was brilliant!
brb drowning in my own tears
"you need some help"
"OH GOD BLOOD!"
I cry at the music when they pick up Eponines body 😭
YES. I'm a e/e shipper too ♥
When I saw the tour in February, young Eponine was white and grown Eponine was black... I was confused on so many levels.
This is unsettlingly good sound quality...what did you do?
She is amazing as Eponine, I think that she is great cauze she stops with that thing of a sweet Eponine that is how she should because of her rough childhood, she is great
Hi!
Do you have the full show's recording??
0:46 c'mon...that was a bit over the top
For someone who's just been shot he sure does shake her a lot.
Integration is beautiful
@BeccaWei25331 Nice comment, very smart.
It looks like Eponine is closing her eyes the whole time
:'(
I think the chick playing Eponine is over acting
I like Sam’s version of Éponine as well. Garth did spectacular well with Sam.
