SOLO SONGS -Please pick one short song selection below (does NOT need to be memorized) FANTINE- I Dreamed A Dream Youtube- I dreamed a Dream https://youtu.be/ijozndlwmg?t=57s I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung No wine untasted ENJOLRAS - Do You Hear The People Sing? Youtube clip Do you here the People Sing? https://youtu.be/k5pzjhu8ii0 Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men? It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! MONOLOUGES- Please choose one character from below and speak without music as a monologue. Does NOT need to be memorized. Cosette: How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last. This change, can people really fall in love so fast? What's the matter with you, Cosette? Have you been too much on your own? So many things unclear, so many things unknown. In my life there are so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong. There are times when I catch in the silence the sigh of a faraway song and it sings of a world that I long to see. Out of reach, just a whisper away, waiting for me! Thenardier: Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down and meet the best Innkeeper in town. As for the rest, all of 'em crooks ; They are rooking their guests and cooking the books. Seldom do you see honest men like me. I’m a gent of good intent who's content to be Master of the house. Doling out the charm; Ready with a handshake and an open palm. Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir. Customers appreciate a bon-viveur. Glad to do a friend a favor. It doesn't cost me to be nice. But nothing gets you nothing; Everything has got a little price! Javert: Valjean, at last,we see each other plain. Monsieur le Mayor, you wear a different chain. I've hunted you across the years. Men like you can never change. No, 24601, my duty's to the law, you have no rights. Now the wheel has turned around; “Jean Valjean” means nothing now. Dare you talk to me of crime and the price you had to pay? Every man must choose his way. You know nothing about me. I was born inside a jail. I was born with scum like you! I am from the gutter too! Valjean: If there's another way to go, I missed it twenty long years ago. My life was a war that could never be won. They gave me a number and they murdered Valjean when they chained me and left me for dead, just for stealing a mouthful of bread. Yet why did I allow this man to touch my soul and teach me love? He treated me like any other. He gave me his trust. He called me brother. My life he claims for God above. Can such things be? For I had come to hate the world, this world that always hated me. .

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Alain Boubil, Claude-Michel Schonberg
Young Critics Reviews Spring 2010-2011 Les Miserables By Victor Hugo, Alain Boubil, Claude-Michel Schonberg, Jean-Marc Natel and Herbert Kretzman At the Hippodrome Theatre through March 6 By Abby Salazar ANYTHING BUT MISERABLE How would you change your life if you were given the opportunity to start over? Would you take revenge on those who made your life miserable, or would you devote yourself to building a completely new character for yourself, forgetting everything about your past? Jean Valjean, prisoner 24601, asks himself these questions in the new stage musical at the Hippodrome Theatre based on Victor Hugo's novel, "Les Miserables." Set in France during the 1800s, it explores the world of second chances through the story of an ex-convict's new life as depicted through powerful sonic effects and exemplary visuals. “Starting over” is a familiar phrase. Many times we regret things we've done and wish we could start over, but how can we erase things that have already happened? How often do we actually start over? Valjean has made terrible mistakes, but when he is presented with the opportunity to start over, he acts decisively. He not only changes his appearance, name and location but also his values, morals and attitude. He keeps his past to himself and completely alters his outlook on life. The writers of the show emphasize his development by making connections to his past yet giving space for him to act differently according to his new persona. In the opening scene, a group of men are working hard on a slave ship.

To the French, Victor Hugo's classic novel has the status of a national monument, and I was well aware at the outset that such an enterprise would be regarded by the guardians of our heritage as an act of desecration. Nonetheless, I discussed my idea with the composer Claude-Michel Schonberg. It seemed to both of us that here was a most exciting challenge, and a unique opportunity to work outside of the established conventions of musical theatre. Hugo's original text lent itself very well to operatic treat- ment, and after nine months of hard work we had trans- formed the 1500-page book into an opera libretto of three acts, seven tableaux - together with a detailed description of the music and lyrics of the whole score as we then imagined it.
