Cosette in Les Mis - London 2012

[CarlosAlberto]

This clip was filmed in 2012 at Covent Garden to celebrate the 2012 Olivier Awards. The West End cast of "Les Mis" performed "One Day More" Does anyone know the name of the actress who is playing "Cosette"? She is not only very beautiful...but lord what a set of pipes she has...check out how she hits that very last note in the song...very impressive! Amanda Seyfried...eat your heart out!

She's Lisa-Anne Wood

[CarlosAlberto]

Thank you Wynbish! She's also in this clip alongside Alfie Boe, Norm Lewis and Samantha Barks in the 2011 cast. Beautiful woman and a beautiful voice! One of the best Cosettes I have ever seen and heard!

"Think of Me" is such a cliche soprano song, but she knocks the ending out of the park
Day-um!

[CarlosAlberto]

Yes, the woman is gorgeous and she can sing!! Total babe.

[Wynbish]

And she was Cosette while Ramin was Valjean.

He can be my father figure, put my tiny hand in his...

[CarlosAlberto]

I think she was in Les Mis for awhile because she played alongside Alfie Boe, David Shannon and Ramin Karimloo as Valjean.

Yes, I wouldn't kick Ramin Karimloo out of bed for eating crackers.
I also wouldn't kick Liam Tamne (the Enjolras in the first clip) out of bed either...

[Wynbish]

Carlos, here she is with your favorite lady from the movie as Madame T

ETA: Your clip has the film lady, too. Oops.


And Hadley!

[CarlosAlberto]

Awww...Katie Secombe! I love that woman!! That was a great Clip..and mmm I loves me some Alfie Boe. He can sing me lullabies to put me to sleep any night of the week.

That Marius is so puny looking though...ewww..and his singing leave a lot to be desired.

[Wynbish]

If Matt Lucas can get him to sing in his kitchen, surely he could sing in your bedroom

[CarlosAlberto]

A boy can dream, can't he....?

[CarlosAlberto]

They didn't have to go with a big name for the role of "Cosette" in the Les Mis movie. They already had Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway. They should have cast Lisa-Anne Wood as "Cosette". They really dropped the ball on that one. Too late now...it is what it is...

[Wynbish]

It reminds me of this conversation I was having with a coworker who was defending Nick Jonas in the 25th anniversary. Many Marius's and Cosettes have come and gone, but Nick as Marius and Amanda as Cosette are recorded and preserved, and it kinda feels wrong.

[Wynbish]

Here's Alfie singing in Matt's kitchen, in case you haven't seen it

[tazber]

that clip is amazing. His voice is just....wow.

And Matt has a nice kitchen.

[CarlosAlberto]

but Nick as Marius and Amanda as Cosette are recorded and preserved, and it kinda feels wrong...

Yes and you would think that the producer/creators of the show would want their show presented in the best possible light, but no - they go ahead and hire sub-par performers in key roles. I don't understand that.

That clip of Alfie singing in Matt's kitchen is great!! He has a voice from the Gods! :: GOOSE BUMPS ::

[Visceral_Fella]

Alexia Khadime sounds amazing as Eponine.

[CarlosAlberto]

Yes, I totally agree. I've never heard of her before. She has a beautiful delivery!

[Dave19]

Yikes, that ending of "Think of me" is bad. It is rare for any singer to be that much off key.

It is strange, because in other clips she sounds very good.
