Chasten Harmon "Eponine" in the new 25th anniversary production of Boublil & Schönberg's legendary musical 'Les Misérables' sat down with us in New York City to discuss this amazing production.
To me it proves that you don't have to resemble or pass for caucasian to be cast in a play like Les Miz. I had compltely given up on any thought of auditioning for a role in Les Miz other than the company even though I knew deep down I wanted to. I let my race hold me back, let other people's idea's of thetre hold me back. I never thought I'd live to see the day where a black girl would be cast as Eponine. My dream.....<3 I cried when I found out...
@Weaslebeex3 ...uh, Eponine is an alto (well, mezzo, but not too different in theatre terms) so that wouldn't have prevented anyone. But I agree she is amazing! I got to see her at the papermill, she's great!
Saw her last night, and i've never cried so hard in my life. Amazing performer.
