BREAKDOWN
SEEKING
Javert: the inspector who serves as antagonist to Jean Valjean. Javert is unswerving in his belief that men cannot change for the better. Vocal range top: F#4, Vocal range bottom: F2
ALREADY CAST
Jean Valjean: is the hero of the show. It is his life journey that we follow. Jean Valjean is supposed to be stronger than other men, and so he should physically appear robust. He should carry himself confidently onstage and come across to the audience as reasonably mature and paternal. Valjean's capacity for change is his greatest asset throughout the story. The key to his character is his great humanity and compassion. Jean Valjean is a vocally demanding role. Gender: male, Vocal range top: A4, Vocal range bottom: G#2
Bishop of Digne: The Bishop is a good man who saves Valjean's soul through showing compassion. The Bishop of Digne's kindness carefully establishes the premise of the show by literally buying Jean Valjean's soul for God. This powerful role requires a nice baritone voice. Gender: male, Vocal range top: E4, Vocal range bottom: A2
Fantine: is the beautiful, young girl who, abandoned by her lover, is left to fend for herself and her daughter, Cosette. She is rejected by society and forced through circumstances to sell herself. She is a brave woman defeated by life who clings to her dignity and is sustained by her love for her daughter, sacrificing everything for the young Cosette. The audience witnesses her descent through a series of terrible events leading to poverty, hunger, cold, loneliness, destitution, and death from consumption. Gender: female, Vocal range top: Eb5, Vocal range bottom: F3
Foreman: The Foreman begins Fantine on her desperate, downward spiral. He should be virile, commanding, and a bit sleazy around the edges. Gender: male, Vocal range top: D4, Vocal range bottom: D3
Bamatabois: Bamatabois is the customer who taunts Fantine into violence. He is a wealthy, dissolute young man who thinks of himself as a gentleman, even dressing in expensive clothes. He is drunk and in a sadistic mood. He chauvinistically feels it is his right to buy anything, even Fantine. Gender: male, Vocal range top: D5. Vocal range bottom: D3
Young Cosette: Young Cosette is Fantine's daughter and the Thénardiers' ward. She has been forced into child labor. She is underfed, beaten by Madame Thénardier, and bullied by Éponine. Young Cosette is small and looks properly pathetic yet warms the audience's hearts. The audience should be sympathetic to her plight. Cosette sings Castle On A Cloud. Gender: female, Vocal range top: C5, Vocal range bottom: A3
Madame Thénardier: She is married to Thénardier. Together, Madame Thénardier and Thénardier con the world as partners in crime. They were made for each other, and although she complains about him, she loves him dearly. She is coarse and vulgar, unhappy in her existence without knowing why. She is romantic, greedy, manipulative, evil, and larger-than-life. She is mean and nasty to Little Cosette and able to improvise in nearly any situation. Excellent physical comedy skills and is also a good singer with a good sense of rhythm. Gender: female, Vocal range top: D5, Vocal range bottom: G#3
Thénardier: Thénardier is the true villain of Les Misérables. He is the embodiment of evil. That said, he should also possess a wicked sense of humor. He delights in cheating, robbing, defrauding, and blackmailing, and relishes every aspect of his schemes with glee. He is tough, greedy, brutal, lowbrow, crafty, and yet irresistible. He hates society and blames it and everyone else for all his misfortune. Thénardier is also the opportunist and realist of the show. He is a thief, a liar, a cheat, and steals valuables from the dead with no remorse. He is also the comic relief of the production. However, his comedy is based in reality and shouldn't be too exaggerated. He is married to Madame Thénardier and is father to Éponine and Gavroche (although he abandoned Gavroche to the streets of Paris). Excellent with comedy with a nasty edge. Vocally, the role is not incredibly demanding; a character voice is best. Gender: male, Vocal range top: G4, Vocal range bottom: C2
Young Éponine: Young Éponine is the pampered daughter of the Thénardiers. She does little except taunt Young Cosette. The role requires no singing or speaking. She should be a smaller version of grown Éponine and resemble Éponine in appearance and features. Gender: female
Gavroche: Gavroche is Thénardier's son. He is left to fend for himself and lives by his wits in the streets of Paris. His archenemy is Javert, the policeman. Gavroche is brave, witty, and arrogant, with a fantastic, unchanged voice. For comparison, think of a young Artful Dodger. Gavroche has a very dramatic death at the barricade. Gender: male, Vocal range top: G5, Vocal range bottom: B3
Éponine: Éponine is the Thénardiers' daughter. Living hand to mouth, she survives by helping her father in his life of crime. She is a young girl who is streetwise and tough but also sensitive and lonely. This tragic character is hopelessly in love with Marius, knowing that he will never love her. She bravely follows Marius to the barricades in the hope that they will die there together. She sings one of the most famous numbers in the show, On My Own, and should be an excellent singer with a contemporary edge to her voice. Gender: female, Vocal range top: E5, Vocal range bottom: F3
Enjolras: Enjolras is the student leader. He is handsome, brave, and daring, although youthful. He combines his revolutionary ideals with strong, charismatic leadership. Victor Hugo described him as a thinker and a man of action. On the barricade, he should dominate everyone else physically and vocally. He should be a natural leader oozing with charisma and have a very strong high baritone or tenor voice. Remember, Enjolras must inspire the students to fight and, ultimately, to die for their beliefs. His death at the barricade is one of the dramatic highlights of the show. Gender: male, Vocal range top: G4, Vocal range bottom: A2
Marius: Marius is the romantic hero of the story. He is impulsive, passionate, willful, and headstrong. His moods change according to his circumstances. He is sweet and tender but also capable of great courage and compassion. In Act I, Marius plays Romeo to Cosette's Juliet. Marius matures after The Café Song as a result of his experiences on the barricade. Marius should have a lovely, lyrical voice with a contemporary edge. Gender: male, Vocal range top: Ab4, Vocal range bottom: A2
Cosette: Cosette is Fantine's strong-willed, loving daughter. She is an intelligent, inquiring, personable girl; she is not in any sense a sappy, romantic heroine. Once she is adopted by Jean Valjean, Cosette lives a comfortable, if secluded, life. She falls instantly in love with Marius, changing her world and her priorities. An excellent singer with a lovely, lyrical soprano voice. Gender: female, Vocal range top: C6, Vocal range bottom: Bb3
Ensemble: Inmates, Constables, Farmers, Factory Workers, Prostitutes, etc.
