Breakdown

Seeking Ensemble Singers for the following chorus parts:

Courfeyrac/Foreman/Constable
Male - Courfeyrac is a youthful, passionate and fearless student. Foreman is verile, commanding, and a bit sleazy. Constable guards the chain gang and catches Valjean as he flees the Bishop's house.

Bamatabois/Grantaire/Major Domo
Male - Bamatabois is the customer that taunts Fantine into violence. Wealthy, dissolute, thinks himself a gentleman. Drunk, sadistic, chauvinistic. Grantaire is a student who is the opposite of Enjolras. Believes in nothing. Witty and drunken, happy to be with the group. Keeps a watchful eye on Gavroche and is heartbroken when he is killed. Could understudy Valjean or Javert.

Bishop/Combeferre
Male - Bishop is the kind man who saves Valjean with compassion. Very lyric, compassionate, soothing voice. Combeferre is the philosopher and believer in peace. Gentle, humane, brave and strong. Could understudy Valjean or Javert.

Factory Girl/Prostitute/Nun/Ensemble
Female - high soprano range.
