Character: Marius
What do you love about playing Marius? One of my favorite things is the music I get to sing. I love all of the songs.
Tell me about the challenges of putting together this production. I just started theater and singing last year. It's still very difficult with the singing. (This production) is so big, and the ensemble numbers are huge.
What's your favorite song in the musical? "One Day More," the finale to Act I. And "Stars," that Javert sings. I just think they're so beautiful—and really powerful, too.
