Later is a pauper, a prostitute, a consumptive and a ghost. Earthy and poignant. Although finally defeated by circumstances she should appear to be strong and a survivor.

COSETTE – Late teens to early 20s. Fantine’s daughter (first seen as and played by a child). Delicate, elegant, and vulnerable. Cosette is also loyal, confident, intelligent and has a curiosity and spirit that pushes her to strive for a life of her own beyond the comfortable but sheltered life she was brought up in. Falls in love with and later marries Marius. Soprano (to high C) but a light, young “floating” sound, without heavy vibrato. This character can be Black, Indigenous, API, Latine, MENASA, Mixed or White. ROLE ON OFFER.
