    What's up with all the comments saying that Eponine is evil or a villain, lol? 😂 She's just a girl who fell in love with a guy who doesn't see her that way. Born into poverty and with criminal dad, obviously she's not a saint, but a villain? That's hilarious.

    This was a wonderful production! For me, the performance of the Bishop brings to life the real character upon which he is based.
    Sutton Foster is, perhaps, the best representation of Eponine there has been! The way she bit most of her words and only occasionally sang sweetly - you could hear the life of the character pouring forth just as Hugo wrote her! Miss Foster's acting and her appearance were increcible - such subtlety, sadness, devotion, emotion, and love - she was Eponine come to life! Finally, the kiss was perfect! Lea Salonga and Samantha Banks sang like angels (Miss Banks was a soft and tender version of Eponine on stage and the movie), but Sutton Foster - she _was_ Eponine!
    It is my good fortune to have seen this! Very many thanks for making it available!

    @bradylove9825 Рік тому +3

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I need to ask, does this come from a lower gen/master copy of the digital recording? The reason I ask is because this exact video has existed for years in trading circles as a very high gen copy, clearly from a VHS tape that had been copied many times. As such the quality of the video, which you never would have known was digital based off of the previously existing copy, is significantly lowered. So a lower gen copy has been highly sought after for many years, and you seem to have such a copy based off this upload.
    Would you be willing to, over email perhaps, share the original files of the copy you own, perhaps trading for it? So the video can be seen the way it was meant to and finally replace the low quality version we've had circulating for years.
    If not, I totally understand. Thank you so much again for sharing this upload of this amazing video with this brilliant cast!

      Hi, Brady! The video was filmed by a friend who gave me a first-gen VHS copy of their digital video at the time (in 2000). I transferred that version from VHS to PC years ago.
      The original audio from their digital master tape was extremely poor. BUT they had borrowed my minidisc recorder and used it to capture the audio from that same performance separately to MD using binaural mics near the stage. I combined the two. That's what you hear in this video. It's *much* higher audio quality than the original digital tape and also has less crowd noise. As far as I'm aware, this version is the only one that has the digital video combined with the MD audio.
      Believe me, I want nothing more than to preserve these recordings in the highest possible quality! I'm planning to share more similar recordings here in the future. Thanks for the encouragement, seriously. I just want to make sure they're not sitting on some shelf somewhere degrading, or gathering dust.

      And thanks for sharing more of the information behind this video recording, a lot of tapers from that era have sort of disappeared so its really interesting to learn a little bit about them.
      Would you be willing to share your original full quality file of this particular video? I'm a massive collector of Les Mis--I have a huge collection of audios and videos (somewhere above 1,000 total I believe haha...I'm very willing to share as well if you're ever interested in anything), thats the reason for my interest in the full quality file! Perhaps we could shift to discussing via email...
      You have gotten me VERY eager about what other Les Mis treasures you may have from around the show's "Golden Age" that may have fallen out of circulation! (I consider the show's "Golden Age" to have lasted until 2006 or so...essentially until the closing of the 3NT tour, I feel after this is when so many changes began occurring to the show in regards to casting, and obviously the new orchestrations...)

      @@danielstewart6509 She's neither good nor bad. She's a product of her circumstances. She is jealous of Cosette, but loves Marius enough to put aside that jealously. I've always believed that she loves her father. He's not a good person, husband, or father; but from their interactions, he does care for her. Also, from her inner thoughts/monologue scene/reactions, she's trying to process how she feels. To come across her father, as Marius is there, as her solo goes, "He'll think this is an ambush, he'll think I'm in it too." She's trying to show that she'll be there for him, and show him that he needs her. For her life experiences, and her family, I would say hate is a strong word. Cosette is definitely a rival, but I don't think there ever was hate. "We were children together, now look what's become of me."
