Want to Be Cosette in the LES MIS Film? Open Call 12/10 in NYC

BroadwayWorld.com has just received an open call casting notice for the LES MISERABLES film for the role of Cosette. Auditions will be held at New York’s Ripley Grier Studios on December 10 at 11am. Auditionees should prepare a contemporary soprano musical theatre song, and bring sheet music a headshot, and resume.

The casting notice describes the role as: ‘Fantine’s daughter (first seen as and played by a child) delicate, elegant, vulnerable and beautiful. Falls in love with and later marries Marius. Soprano (to high C)- a light, young “floating” sound, without heavy vibrato. Strong soprano voice very important.’

Earlier this week, BroadwayWorld reported that Lea Michele, Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, and Evan Rachel Wood are all contenders to play Eponine in the movie. Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Eddie Redmayne and Geoffrey Rush have all signed on to play Fantine, Val Jean, Marius, and Javert respectively. The film aims to start filming in March under the direction of Tom Hooper.

When LES MISÉRABLES celebrated its 21st London birthday on 8 October 2006, it became the World’s Longest Running Musical, surpassing the record previously held by “Cats” in London’s West End. In January 2010, the West End production broke another record by celebrating its historic 10,000th performance.
