This kid is one of the best Gavroches I've seen! He's hilarious.
You can tell Eponine is an understudy - she's fine but not particularly good. I really like the rest of the cast though. I wish I had something to trade for the full version; alas, I'm too old and all my old bootlegs are on VHS - and have deteriorated significantly. Alas.
I'm inclined to agree that this Gavroche is exceptionally good. Despite expectations, most of the professionally recorded versions of Look Down on here have Gavroches with great voices, but can't act, or they're so young that they're already bored with the role, and therefore don't have enough energy. However, one of my old teachers always told me details are what make the differences between a mediocre performance and a magnificent one. This Gavroche attends to details.
When I imagined the motions (folding hands at the word 'piety', ect. ect.) that went with Gavroche's part, I always thought they'd look just like this. Before this, I'd never seen a recorded play. It was so cool to see my imagination kinda brought to life. And, this Gavroche is insanely good as far as his expression and voice go as well. I also really like the foggy, haunting atmosphere.
Nope, he's the actual Thernardier, understudies were only for Eponine, Enjorlas, and Cosette. And for a worse Thernardier see Stephen Tate (there is a video of him up on youtube)
@musicgirl4ever1 Martin Ball? MARTIN BALL? He's amazing in my opinion! And yet, in January I was seriously looking forward to seeing him again, and I got the crappy Mark Hedges. He was AWFUL!
@br4robbo Just seen Cameron Blakely playing Thernardier at the Queens theatre in London and he was amazing along with Alfie Boe as Valjean and the rest of this awesome cast I dont beleive you will ever see a better cast assembled for Les Mis.
"was there a witness to let then let him speak to the javert" lol just noticed he said that

You said you weren't sure who is playing Gavroche. It's James Buckley :)

James is an a-m-a-z-i-n-g Gavroche. I totally cracked up in Little People, and his death scene is awesomly good. The whole cast is awesome!
