Young CosetteI am auditioning for young Cosette for a production of Les Miserables in the fall but my parents say that I'm getting too tall. But then I had an idea. What if Cosette was stronger than Eponine only Eponine was stronger in name? That's going back to the whole Javert Vs. Valjean. Valjean is a "stronger man by far" only Javert is higher in name. So, my question is; Is this a good idea?
Also, If the director had the same idea, would I have a chance at getting the part?

I think you're looking too deep. TBH the director will make their choice on talent and appeal. Our little Cosette was actually taller than our Mme. T but this worked because she looked quite like our older Cosette who was in fcat quite tall herself. There are alot of factors that dictate how a director will or wont cast. I think you should audition, but don't try to justofy why you are or why you aren't cast.
Good luck.

Good luck. All of our little Cosettes were about 8 or 9 and very strong singers- so they were all small, but they were definitely cast on their voices rather than height. So don't fret about your height, just think about singing the best you can - in the end, being cast comes down to so many factors you have no control over, so don't worry about it.
Best of luck!

This is very true..for Young Cosette you need to be able to do "Castle on a Cloud" very well, height doesn't matter much..the age thing is about how mature you look..so if you look like you could be between 8 and 10 you should be alright! I played Annie in 4th grade and I was tallest in the cast (it was a children's production though) so I'm sure you'll be fine! Good luck at the audition!
