Day 26. Favourite pairing? (I don’t mean favourite ship. Your favourite established relationship or friendship in the musical or book).

I am tempted to say Valjean and Fantine, but I think Grantaire's and Gavroche's connection is the most touching, especially when Gavroche dies. Enjolras' and Grantaire's friendship is also worth mentioning.

Day 25. Favourite members of the ensemble and swing?

I don't know if you can consider Drew Sarich a member of the ensemble or swing, but I think he's so amazing. Valjean, Javert, Enjolras, Grantaire. Playing one of those characters is a dream itself. Imagine Drew playing all those at different times in his career. And his range? Out of this world!

Day 24. Favourite cast?

The tenth anniversary cast - the Dream Cast - is my favorite cast. Sure, I prefer Barry James to Alun Armstrong, but doesn't mean I like Alun less. Though I was blown away by Michael Maguire, I wouldn't mind if it was Anthony Warlow since they're both amazing.

Day 23. Is there a character you dislike? Why?

I feel that each character in Les Mis has his/her own story to tell, and they've added to the beauty of the story so there's no character that I really dislike.

All of the characters in Les Mis are broken in a way, and that's what makes them beautiful.

Day 22. Which character can you relate to in the book or musical and why

I am able to relate to different characters of Les Mis in different phases of my life. That's the beauty of Les Mis that I've been telling so many people. It's a story where people can relate to so many characters.

In different stages of my life, I have been Fantine, Marius, Eponine, Cosette, even Javert, but for most parts of my life so far, I have been Valjean.
