Les Miserables - Fantine's Death - Ruthie Henshall

Come to Me, also known as Fantine's Death, is a song from the first act of Les Miserables.
The glorious Ruthie Henshall played tragic Fantine. Beautiful song and i defy anyone who didnt cry or at least get teary eyed when seeing this performance live. I know, because I was there and I cried my eyes out lol


Lyrics:

(Fantine)
Cosette, it's turned so cold
Cosette, it's past your bedtime
You've played the day away
And soon it will be night.
Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading
Don't you see the evening star appearing?
Come to me, and rest against my shoulder
How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder.
Hurry near, another day is dying
Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?
There's a darkness which comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabyes and wake you in the morning.

(Valjean)
Oh, Fantine, our time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life

(Fantine)
Look, M'sieur, where all the children play

(Valjean)
Be at peace, be at peace evermore.

(Fantine)
My Cosette...

(Valjean)
Shall live in my protection

(Fantine)
Take her now

(Valjean)
Your child will want for nothing

(Fantine)
Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven.

(Valjean)
And none will ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living.

(Fantine)
Take my hand,
The night grows ever colder.

(Valjean)
Then I will keep you warm.

(Fantine)
Take my child, I give her to your keeping.

(Valjean)
Take shelter from the storm

(Fantine)
For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake...

(She dies with a smile...)

Ruthie Henshall is the WORST actor in the world! She should stop trying to follow the amazing SUTTON FOSTER's footsteps. Sutton Foster could be a better Fantine than Ruthie would ever be. Sutton can outsing, outdance, and outact Ruthie in any role. Ruthie sucks!

@Walt1896TheClone Hardly! Please if you must leave comments like that then do it elsewhere. Im not interested in negative vibes. If she is really that bad for you to watch then move on and let the people that do love her enjoy her work. Thank you :)

Ruthie Henshall will always be my favorite Fantine. 

[PersephoneInBlue]

If you listen to nothing else, at least listen to 3:10-3:30. Her voice becomes a ghost somewhere in the duration of that last note. Her voice heart-breaks me.

@IDontshine423 In the novel, Fantine is specifically described as being a blonde. Although I hope she's brunette in the movie because Anne Hathaway does not look good as a blonde, in my opinion. LOL

[IDontShine423]

As much as I love Patti LuPone, this is wonderful. However, when I read the novel, I imagines Fantine as a brunette.

I know this is a thing about Ruthie, but i must say something about colm i know im gonna get blasted at: i really dont like him :S i mean, the first les miz thing i watched was with alfie boe, which i loved! but colm i feel over acts a bit, and his mouth is very weird when he sings......just sayin

[Eleternorey1]

I Love Ruthie...i love Lea...both wonderful singers & beautiful voices !!

[16GPower]

Fantine's probably the most dynamic female lead is the musical and I find that Ruthie does her justice :). No hatin' on Lea Salonga, in my opinion she's a fantastic Eponine and her voice is more suited toward that role

[jadelammusic]

every performer has their own take on it, but Ruthie's version is the most vulnerable and touching for me.

@Walt1896TheClone really now? she's a beautiful singer and wonderful actress you can hear the passion in her voice, it stirs the heart. if you want to be a hater find someone actually bad

[iespa2012]

@Walt1896TheClone Are you retarded? You are going to throw your own words noob.

You are insane. How dare you say such things? You deserve spam all the times you use Youtube 'cos you don't have knowledge and I suppose even college degree! Go away from here and I spit on your face bastard!
