And it was Cameron Mackintosh himself who came to the stage at the Oliver curtain call and told her the news. <br /><br />http://www.iomtoday.co.im/lifestyle/manx-entertainment-news/sam_barks_joy_at_hollywood_role_1_4211683<br /><br />Apparently Frances Ruffelle will have a small part in the film as well. I saw her in London in Starlight Express back in the mid-80s, then as Eponine at the Kennedy Center before it went to Broadway. She was terrific in both.Redd Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736865863268053140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-42825540120119998882012-02-04T10:11:25.695-08:002012-02-04T10:11:25.695-08:00Taylor Swift was never announced by anyone associa...Taylor Swift was never announced by anyone associated with the film, it was all just 'leaks' or whatever that she was being considered. Lea Michelle shoots Glee from January to the end of April and could never have made the shooting schedule. <br /><br />Samantha Barks was a competitor on the casting show for Oliver (I think it was called 'Consider Yourself' or something like that). I don't think she won, but she did get other roles out of it, then ended up in Oliver anyway two years later. She looks like she could be very good for this role, and I am also glad it is not going to be Taylor Swift. she'd be much better in 'Sweet Valley High, the musical' or something like that.ForSurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217558342248855346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-18741310816077314962012-02-02T20:41:45.883-08:002012-02-02T20:41:45.883-08:00It's Sam BaRks!

...Shocker...Hollywood didn't go all Hollywood.<br /><br />I personally LOVE Lea's voice, but I don't find her even remotely attractive. I am very please about the decision to get rid of Taylor Swift. The director must have heard her sing finally, and realized she would destroy the movie for Les Miz followers everywhere. <br /><br />I LOVE their new choice, even better than if it were Lea Michelle. Samantha looks more the part of Eponine than Lea Michelle. I wouldn't have been upset if Leah was chosen, but Samantha is an excellent choice. I also like that Samantha isn't as mainstream and isn't Hollywood.crila16https://www.blogger.com/profile/06983074685716007285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-36469247677691567302012-02-02T08:06:32.180-08:002012-02-02T08:06:32.180-08:00WHY are they doing this movie AGAIN?WHY are they doing this movie AGAIN?parissucksliterallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627920960610906753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-49082777642491424472012-02-02T07:31:00.412-08:002012-02-02T07:31:00.412-08:00Am I the only one that hates Lea's voice?!Am I the only one that hates Lea's voice?!HannahPalindromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116824708260424918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-65261624845647662332012-02-02T07:11:53.910-08:002012-02-02T07:11:53.910-08:00meh boring...
