Description
Young Cosette is Fantineâs daughter. At three years old, Fantine hands Cosette over to the care of the ThĂ©nardiers as Fantine believed them to be a loving and caring family. In fact, Cosette is badly treated by them as she is underfed, beaten by Madame ThĂ©nardier, and bullied by the ThĂ©nardierâs two daughters, Ăponine and Azelma. Young Cosette is small and looks pathetic, but her spirit is hopeful and she still can dream of a better life. She sings the solo âCastle on a Cloudâ. Young Cosette needs to be physically small especially against Jean Valjean and the ThĂ©nardiers. She needs to capture the hearts of the audience and they need to feel her plight and be happy for her when she is rescued by Jean Valjean.
