Notice: Audition Call Type: EPA
JEAN VALJEAN: Male-Presenting. 35-40s. Sings to B (high lyric baritone or tenor with both strong low notes and a strong falsetto). A poor man who rises to affluence, he has great natural nobility and dignity. A powerful figure, a physically and morally large man with a character of operatic size and passion. The voice needs to have a pop/rock sound or a classical sound of extraordinary textual clarity. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
JAVERT: Male-Presenting. 35-40s. Baritone, sings to G. Policeman who relentlessly hunts Valjean. An imposing character. The ultimate “law and order” figure. Obsessed, to the point of irrationality, with a rigid and merciless moral code. He too is a character of operatic size and passion. Both belt voice and classical can suit this role. Has a natural gravitas and a darker vocal quality than Jean Valjean. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
THENARDIER: Male-Presenting. Late 30s-40s. Strong comic character. A dishonest innkeeper, later a petty, amoral thief. Greedy, irreverent, selfish, boorish, vulgar. Baritone, sings to F sharp. Has a strong handle on using text in song. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
MARIUS: Male-Presenting. Late teens to early 20s. High baritone (sings to A) with a strong bottom (to A). A member of the aristocracy who joins the revolutionary student movement. Romantic but in a sensitive, 19th century “byronic” way. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
ENJOLRAS: Male-Presenting. 20s-early 30s. High baritone (to G sharp/B flat) very strong singer. Charismatic political figure. Leader of the revolutionary movement. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
FANTINE: Female-Presenting. Early 20s-early 30s. Belt up to C, sings to E flat. Dignified and elegant factory worker, struggling to support her fatherless daughter. Later is a pauper, a prostitute, a consumptive and a ghost. Earthy and poignant. Although finally defeated by circumstances she appears to be strong and a survivor. She puts up a valiant fight against the horrors of her life. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
COSETTE: Female-Presenting. Late teens to early 20s. Fantine’s daughter (first seen as and played by a child). Delicate, elegant, and vulnerable. Cosette is also loyal, confident, intelligent and has a curiosity and spirit that pushes her to strive for a life of her own beyond the comfortable but sheltered life she was brought up in. Falls in love with and later marries Marius. Soprano (to high C) but a light, young “floating” sound, without heavy vibrato. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
EPONINE: Female-Presenting. Late teens to 20s. An enormous and beautiful belt voice, with a contemporary edge. Belts to C sharp (sings to E flat). Daughter of the Thénardiers but in no way behaves like them. Fired by an unrequited love for Marius. Gamine, forlorn. Hasn’t learned to disguise her emotions; wears her heart on her sleeve. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
MADAME THENARDIER: Female-Presenting. 30s-early 40s. Tough, sharp, coarse, boorish, vulgar. Strong character comedienne. Belter. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
GAVROCHE: Male-Presenting Boy. Age 7-11. Entrance height 52” tall or less. Spunky street urchin. Lots of personality. Sings very well. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
LITTLE COSETTE AND LITTLE EPONINE: Female-Presenting Girls. Age 7-11. Entrance height 50” tall or less. Sweet innocent waifs. Pretty soprano voice. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White.
