Taylor Swift out of Les Mis film
Samantha Barks To Play Eponine In LES MISERABLES Movie
Samantha Barks is set to play Eponine in the film version of Les Miserables - the role she played at the 25th anniversary concert.
According to theatregoers, Cameron Mackintosh announced it live on stage at the Manchester Palace at the end of this evening's performance of Oliver!, in which Barks is currently playing Nancy.
She tweeted soon after the curtain call: "Most incredible moment of my life!!!! X"
Fellow cast member Jack Edwards called it "amazing".
Taylor Swift had originally been linked with the part.
One audience member tweeted: "Best night ever just knowing I was there when Samantha got told. She really was the best Eponine!"
Samantha Barks trained at the Arts Educational school for a year before entering “I’d Do Anything”, the BBC search for the new ‘Nancy’ in Cameron Mackintosh’s “Oliver!” where she finished in the top three. Following “I’d Do Anything” she took part in the workshop for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Love Never Dies”. Samantha made her stage debut as ‘Sally Bowles’ in the national tour of “Cabaret”, before taking the classic role of ‘Aladdin’ in “Aladdin” at the Theatre Royal Windsor. Last year Samantha made her West End debut in the role of ‘Eponine’ in “Les Misérables”, and played the role again in the “Les Misérables 25th Anniversary Concert” at The O2. Television credits include the lead role of ‘Zoe’ in the Disney TV series “Groove High”.

she is cute tho, i'm watching the video!!!
my friend usually gets pantages season tickets so she was like hey wanna see it? and i was like uhhh i guess? we both wanted to leave at intermission.
I actually like cats, T.S. Eliot and musicals so I thought it would be decent, at least. However, it is literally THE WORST.
And it didn't help that the women behind us was singing Memories louder than the woman on stage.
And I always hated Les Mis until we did a production of it in high school.
Paul F. Tompkins' Andrew Lloyd Webber by klausweasley1980
and oh boy, do i hate Cats
i can't believe it did so well
phantom of the opera, yeah, that makes sense, it's all singing and melodrama
cats is just a bunch of people fucking about screeching dressed as kitties
this is going in her sparkly diary and next album.
Just like eh-poh-nine
i was the star of your stage
we were all the rage
until you turned from me
guess c'est la vie
but I still remember the script you taught me~~~~
or s/t idk I'm not a songwriter
SUGGESTED HER ALL ALONG AS A LEA ALTERNATIVE
