We are looking for a total of 12 children, with playing ages between 7 and 11. Auditions will take place in January 2025 (see Audition Schedule), and initially the applicants will be asked to sing an extract from a song of their own choice.
There are a total of 6 “named” roles, as listed below.
Please note that those children recalled after singing their own song choice will then either audition for Gavroche or for Young Cosette. The other roles will be filled based on these auditions.
Gavroche’s Gang
Paris at this time would be full of orphans (due to years of wars and revolutions). These are children who have to survive by themselves and, unlike Gavroche, they are not very street wise.
Gavroche’s gang will be made up from the six children cast above, namely:
- Gavroche—as himself
- Young Cosette—as a different girl
- Young Eponine—as a different girl
- Young Azelma—as a different girl
- Petit Gervais—as a different boy
- Boy—as the younger brother of the boy above
