Rachel Zegler and Chris McCarrell Sing 'A Little Fall of Rain'

On September 27, 2015, Rachel Zegler and Chris McCarrell (Broadway's Marius in Les Miserables) sing 'A Little Fall of Rain' from Les Miz at the Broadway Flea Market.
It was pretty cool. I don't even know what to say about it.
Thanks to Chris for the opportunity, and thank you Mom for capturing the video!
S/o to Jillian for getting amazing shots of the duet, which will be posted on my tumblr (trippytheatreturtle.tumblr.com) very soon!
Thanks-- love you all!
xx ~R.

I'd say her voice comes a little closer to Lea Salonga's, which is by no means bad, because Lea's voice is beautiful as well.

[@PerformerDotCom]

It took her 6+ years to become an "overnight" success! Her vocal talent was clearly evident at 14! Definitely an amazing choice by Steven Spielberg! She's destined to be a superstar. Future EGOT recipient for sure!

[@sarahmarie3317]

Is anyone else just rewatching the old videos they saw years ago when there was only like 10k of us!?! I’m soaking up this tiny community before the trailer comes out and the new fans that our girly deserves SO MUCH flock over. 🥰❤️ I’m so proud of you Rachel 🥺💕

[@queenarianne]

i clearly remember this video being recommended to me a little while after it was posted and i remember being in awe of rachel and her talent, thinking she's gonna do amazing things one day, and here she is today and i couldn't be more proud

I love that he pointed at the lyrics for your entrance and you were like wait we aren't there yet in the music #iGotThis

[@MIsSavieZheng]

Wow you sound amazing, definitely would be cool to see you play Eponine on broadway one day. Also this video is so cute, even though the song is one of the saddest scenes (technically everything in Les Miz is sad).

[@RachelZeglerLovesHugs]

+MIsSavieZheng Thank you so much!!

[@tylerts97]

I would be completely shocked if you never landed in the role as Eponine. I seriously believe you have what it takes to be one of the best to step into her shoes. No joke, you might even rival Lea Salonga(who happens to be my favorite Eponine). I wish you great success in the world of theatre.

[@ebergan]

Rachel was put on this earth to sing...how else to put it? To sing like that at any age is remarkable, but to sing like that at 14 is something to be preserved for all time and put into this era's time capsule. Rachel is also a gifted actress and two of her first three "big time" parts are acting without singing, but I hope she'll find a path in her career to lead with her singing, because it is literally unique and can make so many people happier.
