(All characters are open to any ethnicity)

Gavroche : (Male, 7-11) 52 tall or less, a spunky, nimble street urchin, lots of personality, must sing very well (B below middle C to G) Audition song - Little People.


We would like to hear this portion of Little People:


Just because I am small

They laugh at me because I'm not hundred feet tall!

I tell 'em there's a lot to learn down here on the ground

The world is big, but little people turn it around!

A worm can roll a stone

A bee can sting a bear

A fly can fly around Versailles

'Cos flies don't care!

A sparrow in a hut

Can make a happy home

A flea can bite the bottom

Of the Pope in Rome!

Young Cosette and Young Eponine : (Female, 7-11) 50 tall or less, sweet, innocent waifs with pretty soprano voices (A below middle C to C) Audition song - Castle on a Cloud (whole song).
