Ruthie Henshall is, for me, the prime interpreter of this song. But let us not forget that Ms. LuPone sang it before any other. She was the first Fantine, and, furthermore, the first American actor to win an Olivier award...respect this living legend!

Her acting is amazing! I think people just got used to Anne Hathaway’s version which is great on camera but anyone that has done musicals would tell you it’s absolutely NOT THE WAY YOU WOULD DO ONSTAGE. In theater, people are not interested in hear you sniffing, sobbing and mumbling your words because youre crying. The music needs to be refined and the lyrics need to be heard clearly by everyone.

@@yuri2604also, broadway vs movie has the balance of being mostly 70% - 30% like, if i’m watching a movie, they better be bringing the acting chops! but if i’m on for theatre, i sure as hell will enjoy the singing more. bc that’s the intention-to deliver lines and acting while singing, not made for the screen. which is why, anne’s version shouldn’t be compared to broadway. she had a hard time playing it and for a theatre actor to chanel it for every single show wouldn’t be good.

Thank you! I feel like this version of Fantine is lost on people because they see the blah movie version and think every Fantine needs to be some crumbling weeping flower or the actor isn’t portraying any emotion. If Fantine was a puss, she wouldn’t have been able to do the things she did for her daughter, she would have curled up in a ball in an alley somewhere and died. Having seen the show 30+ times over that past 30 years, the Fantine’s I’ve seen, have never portrayed her as weepy. And as a side note... Cameron Mackintosh remembered seeing Patti, on Broadway, playing Nancy in Oliver and thought she would make a wonderful Fantine. And Nancy wasn’t a weepy, wussy character. So, obviously, he didn’t see Fantine that way either.

Daniel Nault well that’s not really true, the movie moved this song from after Fantine gets fired to after she becomes a prostitute so obviously that version is going to be more tragic. She’s not “wussy” and playing the victim, she’s been abandoned, torn apart literally and physically and forced to sell herself to provide for her child SHE IS A VICTIM, you’re not a pussy for crying at what would literally be the lowest point of your life.

I dreamed a dream where I was fine. When hope was high and Pink was living. I dreamed the Earth would never die. I dreamed that White would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid. Our gems were made and nothing wasted. There were no gem wars to be waged. No song unsung, no planet tainted. But the rebels come at night. With their fusions and their weapons. And they tore her all apart. And they turned my dream to shame! -Yellow Diamond
