Actress with Portland roots understands 'empathy' while playing Fantine in 'Les Miserables' * Oregon ArtsWatch
""I had a moment during a show, I was in the middle of singing it, and it's, 'Oh my God, am I really doing this?' ... There'll be moments now where the words mean something completely different than before, and I've never realized it until now.""
""My favorite line of the show from the song: 'I dreamed that God would be forgiving, when I was young and unafraid and dreams were made and used and wasted.' ... It's an amazing time in youth, and amazingly sad because Fantine is only 22.""
""The Broadway touring musical tells a story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption against the backdrop of 19th century France and the French Revolution.""
Lindsay Heather Pearce has portrayed Fantine in Les Misérables for over a year, experiencing deep emotional connections to the character and her song, 'I Dreamed A Dream.' Pearce notes that even after singing it around 400 times, the lyrics resonate differently with her now. The song reflects Fantine's lost youth and dreams, evoking strong emotions. Pearce has also performed in other notable productions, including Wicked and Titanique, and feels privileged to play such a significant role in a celebrated musical.
