Yes, "the queen of blandsville!" That is how I have always felt about Cosette. Eponine has my two favorite songs in the entire show, both heart-breakers. I think she is truly the most miserable of les miserables, but still able to love deeply and truly, and always giving of herself.

I tend to think that when people say Cosette is "the queen of blandsville," it's because they don't understand the point of her character. She's almost a placeholder in the story, representing Valjean's act of atonement to Fantine, and the barrier to Eponine being with Marius (even though Marius wasn't interested in her before Cosette came into the picture, but anyway...). If you look at the story, her character journey is pretty impressive. She was raised apart from her mother with the Thénardier family, whose entire mission in life was to take what they can get. Cosette is abused and neglected until she's rescued by Valjean. This is a difficult beginning that could have jaded her, but instead, she follows her adoptive father's example and strives to be good and kind. I've always thought they didn't give more focus on her character in the musical because that made it easier to focus on Eponine's pain and longing- you wouldn't feel for Eponine so much if you saw Cosette a good person, or possibly more deserving of Marius. BTW, is that true that Taylor Swift was competing for the role?!? That would have ruined the movie! I know there's a lot of die hard Swifties out there, but lets be honest- while she'll be remembered for how many downloads or concert tickets she sold, she won't go down in history as one of the great vocalists of her generation. You can't just have a decent voice for the leads in Les Mis. Ask Russell Crowe...

Definitely agree on Samantha Barks and Aaron Tveit. Tho I personally would rate Hugj Jackman lower than Russell Crowe (I said what I said) I just feel like Hugh Jackman's voice is too low for the part of Valjean, his rage isnt quite where its need for those songs (just my opinion)

@@b_r_ooklyn Yeah, I can get behind that. If I was to grade on a curve, where I adjust for expectation, then definitely. I actually liked Jackman's performance on a couple numbers, but for the most part, he was a disappointment. As for Crowe, I just felt sorry for him. He was out of his league. Perfectly enjoyable rock voice, and he absolutely has the physical presence, but his singing chops just don't measure up for Les Mis. What I'll never understand: Philip Quast was still just young enough to pull off a convincing Javert back in 2012. Why not bring in the GOAT for that role, and introduce him to mainstream film audiences? (Then again, I wonder if he was offered and refused once he knew what the conditions would be.) And for that matter, was Katie Hall not available as Cosette? After all, she performed that role during the very 2010 concert film in which the movie was announced, and (obv.) at the same time that Barks was playing Eponine. Seems like another opportunity missed eight years ago.

I have the DVD version of the 25th anniversary cast so I was pleased that Samantha Barks' Eponine did not have to be transposed.

I don't hate on the movie or anyone who loves it. It was my introduction to Les Miserablés and I've gone on to see it live a couple of times, perform a number from it, read the unabridged original Victor Hugo novel and as far as I know, watch every video on YT associated with Les Mis.

Can't hate you for telling the truth! Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman are great singers, but this movie was so horrible! My husband loves Les Mis and walked out halfway through cause it was so bad.

I would add Colm Wilkinson as the Bishop.

Yah, sorry, no hate, but Lea set the bar for all others who came after her. Samantha is great though. :)
