JeanValjean: 35-40s. Sings to B (high lyric baritone or tenor with strong lownotes). A poor peasant who rises to affluence, he has great natural nobilityand dignity. A powerful figure, ideally a large man with a character ofoperatic size and passion. The voice needs to have a pop/rock sound or aclassical sound of extraordinary textual clarity.

Javert:Baritone, sings to G. Policeman who relentlessly hunts Valjean. Ideally a largeman. The ultimate “law and order” figure. Obsessed, to the point ofirrationality, with a rigid and merciless moral code. He too is a character ofoperatic size and passion. Both belt voice and classical can suit this role butmust have a darker quality than Jean Valjean.

Fantine:Late 20s, early 30s. Belt up to C, sings to E flat. Poor factory girl,struggling to support her fatherless daughter. Later is a pauper, a prostitute,a consumptive and a ghost. Earthy and poignant. Although is finally defeated bycircumstances she should appear to be strong and a survivor. She puts up avaliant fight against the horrors of her life.

Cosette:18-25 (the younger the better). Fantine’s daughter (first seen as and played bya child) delicate, elegant, vulnerable and beautiful. Falls in love with andlater marries Marius. Soprano (to high C) but a light, young “floating” sound,without heavy vibrato.

Eponine:An enormous and beautiful belt voice, to C in belt (sings to E flat). Daughterof the Thenardiers but in no way behaves like them. Fired by an unrequited lovefor Marius. Small, gamine, waif-like. Hasn’t learned to disguise her emotions;wears her heart on her sleeve.

MadameThenardier: 30s-early 40s. Tough, sharp, coarse, boorish, vulgar. Strongcharacter comedienne role. Belter.

Gavroche:Boy, age 7 - 11. 52” tall or less. Spunky street urchin. Lots ofpersonality. Sings very well.
