#Kerrie Anne Greenland

[syrupsyche]

Went to stalk Facebook for pics of me watching Les Mis when it came to my country and thank GOD for 15 y.o. me taking a pic with the cast list (though it was mainly bc an actor had the same name as me lol) so now I can look back at my very blurry memories and attach faces to the characters.

For starters, it mostly comprised of the cast from the Australian production back in 2016, with the exception of Earl Carpenter as Javert:

and opposite him starred Simon Gleeson as Valjean:

Alas I do not remember much of their performances but I do remember liking Valjean's Soliloquy and Javert's Suicide alot as well as crying at both of their death scenes so pretty sure they did something right lol.

Fantine was played by Patrice Tipoki:

I also do not remember much but I did find her death scene to be extremely haunting. The production I watched had the stage feel really bare so the coldness of it all really seeped in.

Marius and Cosette were played by Paul Wilkins and Emily Langridge:

Again I don't remember much LMAO but looking at Cosette's outfit here, it's extremely pretty! Alas I think by this production, Every Day (Marius and Cosette) had been cut out (or extremely cut down) so I didn't get to hear their rendition of it :(

Éponine at the back was played by Kerrie Anne Greenland:

I was an Éponine girlie at this age so I was really focusing on her parts lmao. She was good from what I can remember! Her On My Own was brilliant and I did cry at her death scene :')

Enjolras was played by Chris Durling:

Slight side track but WOW looking back at these pics, he is quite the quintessential Enjolras. Though Les Amis didn't catch my attention in the movie the first time I watched it, the images that burned into my mind the most from this production were of Enjolras and Les Amis. I know fans aren't too happy with the revolving barricade switch-off (and now that I know of it, I definitely agree the new scene doesn't hold a candle to it) but imagine 15 year old me seeing the guy I've been rooting for unceremoniously dumped in the wheelbarrow alone under a spotlight? It was still chilling, especially when compared to the colours and noise of the movie version. Another scene that haunted me was Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, when the ghosts of Les Amis picked up the candles left behind. THAT was good, I really loved it.

The Thénardiers were played by Cameron Blakely and Helen Walsh:

Hilarious duo lol. My favourite memory comes from Master of the House, when a young girl sitting in front of me asked her father what Mme. Thénardier was doing with the baguette during "...but there's not much there" and what the joke meant. Her father just said she was too young to understand 😭😭

Overall, this production of Les Mis was a changing point in my life. It was my first ever live musical and it expanded my interest for musicals and Les Mis ever since. I had only watched the movie previously just so I could be caught up with the plot, but iirc, this production got me to buy and read The Brick shortly after. And 7 years later, here I am still screaming about it :')

Also I found a rendition of One Day More by the 2015 Australian Cast so y'all can hear roughly what I had experienced back in 2016! Only difference is that Javert is played by Hayden Tee, Marius is played by Euan Doidge, and the Thénardiers were played by Trevor Ashley and Lara Mulcahy. Enjoy!

Elegies – A Song Cycle comes to fortyfive downstairs

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/elegies-a-song-cycle-comes-to-fortyfive-downstairs/

Elegies – A Song Cycle comes to fortyfive downstairs

Over 80 minutes and 18 musical stories, 4 performers take on a variety of roles of constant transformation in Elegies – A Song Cycle.

“There is no such thing as a small musical. Elegies is intimate,” Director Tyran Parke tells us.

“So much musical theatre is about the sets and the storytelling, but this show is different.”

Nadine Gardner, Anton Berezin, Marty Alix, Kerrie Anne Greenland and Glenn Hilmusically explore the world and life’s infinite joys through individual narratives and unexpected music.

“We describe it as the best dinner party stories about the people in a man’s life you will find,” Tyran said.

“It’s like feels composer William Finn gets all his friends around the table, and each sings a song of their life.”

“But it’s not overwhelming, it’s very human.”

“You feel connected and we ride the wave in a structured way, but filled with poignant moments,” he said.

“Finn has a real quirky look at the world where you laugh through the vulnerable moments.”

Using photos from one of Australia’s most renowned photographers, his older brother Trent Parke, Tyran feels the musical is given new life in a world that is bigger than the individual stories in the spotlight.

The musical moments are allowed to be something you hold onto, ‘captured in art’.

More than a snapshot

“Using projections of  photos from all over the world, we can tie it all together and build on something bigger than the characters’ stories,” Tyran explained.

“We explore what it is to be human. What it is to love people. What it is to lose people, and what it means to move on through that.

“Everyone will see something different in the work.

“I get a bit squeamish when musical theatre tells me what to feel. But here is a series of stories that people can connect to their own lives. Something different to the other musical offerings around town.”

From Finn’s friends, to his mother and dogs, to victims of the World Trade Centre collapse, Elegies uplifts, emphasising the joy, not the darkness life throws at us.

“The show is about community. Artistic community. Family community. Religious community. But also the gay community.” Tyran said.

“Particularly the community of a man called Mark who had Thanksgiving dinner every year with the men who were his community and who lived through the 80s in New York.”

“That obviously has some level of loss in it.”

“We explore how the charactes navigated that through the kind of family they find in life.”

“I think there might be something nice about leaning into that with our audience.”

Elegies – A Song Cycle is playing at fortyfive downstairs in Melbourne from 10th – 21st of July. Click here for more details.

Pretty Eponines

I made a list just like this before, but it was for Christine Daae and Raoul from The Phantom of the Opera. Now, I’m making a list for some actresses who portrayed Eponine who I think is very pretty. Yes, every actress is pretty but these are the ones who really stood out.  This is my personal choice, so no bashing about it.

The much-talked about production did not disappoint; the modernized visuals create many new layers to the show, and make you think about events and characters in a whole new way. Nehal, Allison, Justin, and Christia were probably my favorites, but the entire cast is so talented, it’s difficult to choose any as standouts. A very nice capture overall. There are a couple quick dropouts in act one, but no major blackouts. There is one head that can be seen occasionally, but it only blocks a small portion of the stage and only affects the action for about 20-30 seconds of the entire show. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as usual. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

The capture is a little on the dark side, but still enjoyable.

Widescreen. Cleaned up nicely in remastering. And it has Sarich. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - May 12, 2007 (Matinee) (jstarz's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Drew Sarich (u/s Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Mandy Bruno (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier), Stephen Trafton (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Filmed in widescreen (though encoded in 4:3, so there are bars at the top and bottom of the screen), this is a nice capture of some of the new cast members. Drew and Ann give great performances in their roles. The second disc also includes the first 15 minutes of the February 24, 2007 Evening show, filmed from the rear right orchestra. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - June 1, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Ben Davis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Marissa McGowan (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - August 24, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Drew Sarich (Jean Valjean), Robert Hunt (Javert), Nikki Renée Daniels (u/s Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Megan McGinnis (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Chip Zien (Thénardier), Becca Ayers (u/s Madame Thénardier), Brian D'Addario (Gavroche) NOTES: Some nice closeups/mediums. A nice capture of the new cast. Capture can be dark at times, but mostly in the darker scenes. Includes a technical difficulty when the Barricades first come out, the show is stopped and includes the announcement.. A- Les Misérables - Fourth UK & Ireland Tour - January, 2019 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Killian Donnelly (Jean Valjean), Nic Greenshields (Javert), Katie Hall (Fantine), Bronwen Hanson (Cosette), Harry Apps (Marius), Tegan Bannister (Éponine), Will Richardson (Enjolras), Martin Ball (Thénardier), Sophie-Louise Dann (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - Hollywood Bowl - August 9, 2008 FORMAT:  WMV (HD) CAST: J Mark McVey (Jean Valjean), Brian Stokes Mitchell (Javert), Melora Hardin (Fantine), Michele Maika (Cosette), John Lloyd Young (Marius), Lea Michele (Éponine), Tom Lowe (Enjolras), Sage Ryan (Gavroche) NOTES: J. Mark McVey, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Lea Michele, Melora Hardin, John Lloyd Young, Michele Maika, Michael McCormick, Tom Lowe, Ruth Williamson. Juni's master filmed in widescreen and can be a little shakey at times in tight zooms. Nice to see the audience version compared to the Proshot one. A- Les Misérables - Japan - 1997

Les Misérables - Paris - 1991 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Robert Marien (Jean Valjean), Patrick Rocca (Javert), Marie Zamora (Cosette), Jérôme Pradon (Marius), Stéphanie Martin (Éponine), Julien Combey (Enjolras), Laurent Gendron (Thénardier), Marie-France Roussel (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Act 1 + finale of act 2. This is 100% NOT Louise Pitre playing Fantine Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 1, 2014 (Preview) (Highlights) (where is your red schaaaf's master) FORMAT:  MOV (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Gaten Matarazzo (Gavroche) NOTES: First preview. It includes most of the show. Loud excited audience. Blind shot from stage right third row, with no zooms. Keala Settle sprained her ankle at some point between The Robbery and One Day More, resulting in her not being in One Day More and using a cane during Wedding Chorale/Beggars at the Feast. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 8, 2014 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche) NOTES: Audience was full of excitement!

It’s refreshing to see different faces in the lead roles, and both Nathaniel and Earl carry the show well. Nathaniel’s vocals are powerful and he has a great rapport with Caissie and Samantha. A lovely capture overall with no obstruction. Look Down is mostly blacked out and there are a couple quick dropouts during The Bishop scene and Lovely Ladies, but the show is otherwise fully intact. There is also some washout in high contrast wide shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - July 1, 2015 FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), John Rapson (u/s Javert), Erika Henningsen (Fantine), Melissa Mitchell (u/s Cosette), Chris McCarrell (Marius), Brennyn Lark (Éponine), Wallace Smith (Enjolras), Gavin Lee (Thénardier), Rachel Izen (Madame Thénardier), Sam Chuck (Gavroche), Joe Spieldenner (Grantaire), Weston Wells Olson (s/w Combeferre) NOTES: Act I begins at "The Runaway Cart" and nearly complete Act II.

First time in history two same productions of a major musical played in the same city. Les Misérables - West End - May 9, 1987 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Martin Smith (u/s Jean Valjean), Clive Carter (Javert), Kathleen Rowe McAllen (Fantine), Jacinta Mulcahy (Cosette), Maurice Clarke (u/s Marius), Jayne Draper (Éponine), Martin George (Enjolras), David Delve (Thénardier), Myra Sand (Madame Thénardier), Cameron Stewart (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Commonly mistaken as December 28, 1988! Martin Smith was part of the West End cast for 6 months starting December 1986, and the non-circulated first-generation DVD labels the date as 1987/05/09. Les Misérables - West End - December 28, 1991 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Stig Rossen (Jean Valjean), Paul Leonard (Javert), Jenna Russell (Fantine), Sarah Jane Hassell (Cosette), Daryll Winslow (Marius), Meredith Braun (Éponine), Mike Sterling (u/s Enjolras), David Hampshire (u/s The Bishop), Amanda Dainty (u/s Factory Girl) NOTES: Black and white. Audio is nice and clear. A more rare color version does exist. (Proof: https://youtu.be/KI_KHnLwk_k) Les Misérables - West End - May 6, 2006 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Tim Godwin (u/s Jean Valjean), Cornell John (Javert), Kerry Ellis (Fantine), Julia Möller (Cosette), Hayden Tee (Marius), AJ Callaghan (u/s Éponine), Nolan Dark (u/s Enjolras), Barry James (Thénardier), Tracie Bennett (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Taper’s comments: Amanda and Nolan are better than the principles and Tim sounds uncannily like JOJ (Home Counties accent not-withstanding). He first understudied in 1999, when JOJ was the principal, which may explain the similarity. About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as of Fantine during Lovely Ladies. Wonderful performances from the entire cast but especially then soon-to-be-Elphaba Kerry Ellis.

My Favorite Eponine portrayals

As lots of you may know, Eponine Thenadier is one of my absolute favorite characters in musical theatre history. Her love for Marius, her strength, her courage, and her naivete may have gotten the best of her, but she is truly an amazing character and just wants to love and be loved. She didn’t choose her situation, it was thrown upon her, but she has proven that she was way ahead of her time. In honor of this sad yet powerful seventeen-year-old, here are my favorite portrayals of Victor Hugo’s character. Now, this list is not in any particular order, it’s more to showcase what makes every woman who portrays ‘Ponine unique and what she adds to the character.

*NOTE: THIS IS MY OPINION. IT’S OKAY TO DISAGREE, BUT PLEASE DON’T ATTACK ME.

**NOTE NOTE: THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF EPONINES AND I COULD WRITE UP SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE BUT I CAN’T SO PLEASE, DO NOT BE UPSET IF YOUR FAVE ISN’T ON HERE

#1 Samantha Barks

Whether you know her from film version or seen her on stage, there is no doubt that she is some kind of wonderful. Sam’s Eponine has the aura of a grown woman but the naivete of a child. She brings a sense of longing for love and struggles to bring herself to help Marius find Cosette. When she finds herself on the barricade, she is not too far from Marius’s reach. Sam’s singing is beyond incredible, emoting the heartbroken young lady the Eponine is. I do know for a fact that I bawled my eyes out at her version of A Little Fall of Rain, bringing a performance that was unique and memorable. She was the first Eponine I ever saw (film, obviously) and she definitely has a special place in my heart. And how can you not forget her sacrificing herself for Marius on the barricades? At least Sam showed us all that truly, a little fall of rain can hardly hurt Eponine now.

#2) Frances Ruffelle

That’s right, the OG Eponine (not counting the original French concept Eponine). Where do I even start? Well, how about that she brings Eponine to life, giving her le miserable (get it?) persona of a young girl living on the streets of Paris with almost nothing to look forward to until she meets Marius. Whether you like her singing or not, Frances brings the lonely child that Eponine is, so when Eponine dies, she is happy to die in Marius’s arms because she is no longer alone. Plus her On My Own? Magnifique!

#3) Lydia Fairen

The Eponine from the production in Spain, Lydia is probably one of my favorite non-English Eponines. She puts her heart and soul into each performance and encompasses many personality traits to make Eponine much more fleshed out as a character. She teases, she breaks down, she smiles, she shows Eponine as both a young lady with experience on the streets as well as a young lover. And her chemistry with the Spanish Marius is impeccably perfect. You can see it in her expressions how much love she has for him. Lydia is definitely in my top 11 Eponines and here are some gifs to prove it (credit to elzabethpoldark).

#4) Diana Kaarina

Probably one of the strongest voiced Eponines that seem to go unnoticed, Diana brings the aspect of a girl who is in love and will do whatever it takes to protect him. Her emotions through On My Own are just hauntingly beautiful as she tells her thoughts to the audience. Did I mention that she can sangg? Cause, she can. I wish she had gotten more attention, but she is one of those hidden gems that you need to hear to believe. 

#5) Lea Salonga

Do I really need to explain? It’s Lea Salonga. I think everyone can agree she’s an amazing Eponine. That is all.

#6) Carrie Hope Fletcher

Strength. Courage. Love. Sacrifice. That is how you can describe Carrie’ s portrayal of Eponine. Never a dull moment on stage, Carrie presents us with a memorable Eponine who focuses more on Eponine’s strength and heartbreak, showing her to be more grown up. She’s a fantastic Eponine and it’s no wonder she gets so much recognition for it!

#7) Eva Nobeldaza

Eva (who I believe was about the same age as Eponine at the time of her portrayal) brings the spunkiness of a teenage girl who is hopelessly in love with a man who sees her as only a friend. She carries a lot of similar qualities as Lea does, but it’s her spunkiness that wins in the end.
