 Yay! I never got to see Joanna Ampil, but I've heard audio clips of her portryals of both Eponine and Fantine, and she seems great! It's kind of sad though. Sophia's Fantine, although I was appalled at it the first time I saw her, was just beginning to grow on me. It's a shame I won't be able to see her again before she leaves. It's great that Joanna is returning though.

Jo is an amazing Fantine, one of the best IMHO. She's well worth going to see live, if you haven't done so already. | ||||

Re: Jo is coming back as Fantine!
Ouch!!! I remember reading on this very forum that it was always planned for Sophia to leave in January, just can't find that reference at the moment 
Jo is brilliant as Fantine and there couldn't be a better replacement for Sophia I just need to plan a few more trips to London before the end of January.

Re: Jo is coming back as Fantine!
I'm sorry dear, judging from the BBC concert version I didn't feel that Fantine was the role for her.
If you find out why she's leaving, do tell
