“All of the little girls in Les Miz wanted to play Eponine. When we were younger, we all said we were going to grow up to play Eponine. . . This is a part I’ve wanted to play my entire life, and all of a sudden, I’m doing it. It didn’t really hit me until when we staged Eponine’s first scene. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m playing Eponine. That’s incredible!’”

Synopsis
Jean Valjean, an ex-con, has transformed himself to become mayor and the owner of a factory. But when he is moved to help one of his former workers, Fantine, Valjean’s past is brought to light, and he is forced to abandon everything to run from Javert, the chief of police, dead set on bringing him to justice. Nine years later, Cosette, Fantine’s child, has been raised by Valjean and has fallen in love with Marius, a fighter in the French revolution (after whom another, named Eponine, also pines). With Javert on the hunt and a revolution tearing the city apart, in the end, everyone is forced to question what they’re willing to sacrifice in pursuit of love and justice.
Based on the novel by Victor Hugo.
