hmm, i got a role as the constable and a student. Its my first show ever, no previous experience singing or acting or dancing or any theatre. So is that a good role, as the constable, am in a lot fo scenes, do I sing? and as a student what do i do?

Congrats! Are you one of the guards during the bishop scene? Or in Fantine's Arrest? Maybe you're in both.

Well done for getting the parts!
As a constable, you do have a couple of solo lines at the beginning. Are you a particular student? If your student has a name, then it means that you have more solo lines. If not, then you still get to take part in lots of chorus songs (or parts of songs), including 'Red and Black', the famous 'Do You Hear The People Sing?' and 'One Day More', 'Drink With Me' and the Finale. As well as the songs, you still have a ton of stage time. The great thing about Les Mis is that you can still act and add in your own ideas of what to do onstage, even while other characters are singing. In the West End, look behind the main characters, and there is usually chaos breaking out between the chorus characters!

Joly, you get a lot more action and lines to sing here and there!

Both roles are fun, you are very lucky to get two roles. I guess you could say the constable is a glorified chorus role that you do until your main role kicks in. The constables are in the prologue a couple of times, they are in Fantine's arrest etc and the robbery in Paris. You could be in any or all of those bits.

Have fun.
