For this Musicals Magazine Podcast, Edward Seckerson meets Samantha Barks, who has travelled far since she and Rachel Tucker went head-to-head in a bid to win the role of Nancy in the reality TV show I'd Do Anything. Unforgettably, there was Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years where she and Jonathan Bailey lit up the then St James Theatre with their conspicuous talent. Then came Éponine in Les Misérables both onstage and onscreen, and a Broadway debut as the feisty Vivian in Pretty Woman. Edward Seckerson meets her in her dressing room at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane where Queens Elsa is about to put the freeze on for a lot of adoring little girls.

Les Misérables is an epic, sweeping musical. It was one of the longest running shows on Broadway, a beloved community theatre production, and if you've ever seen the inside of an audition room, you've probably heard a gaggle of girls butchering On My Own or I Dreamed a Dream. It is a sung-through operatic style musical, so for this movie to have been a success all Tom Hooper needed was a cast that could sing. Instead, we got awkward close up of actors who can kind of hold a tune. The casting of this movie, save for Samantha Barks, Aaron Tveit and Anne Hathaway, was probably the most egregious error made, and all others that followed were made worse by Hugh Jackman screaming the score at us.

A major Oscar contender on paper due to the musical's pedigree in the world of Broadway, the film achieved financial success at the box office while critical reception was more mixed.

Seeing “Les Miserables” on Broadway as a child in the 1980s left a massive impression on me, but the 2012 film was my choice for Best Picture in a year with tons of great films. While it had one of the most inspired castings ever, from the heartbreaking Oscar-winning performance of Anne Hathaway to the deliciously evil Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter, it's the “Little Big Three” of Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne and Samantha Barks who steal the movie full stop. Although not all agree, I believe that this film is almost impossibly faithful to the legendary theatrical production and yet manages to pave its own way into film history and the hearts of those of us who love this story. While some reviewers for some reason hated on the spectacular live sound recordings, the skill of the sound engineers combined with the actors/singers might not be replicated for many years. Let’s put it like this: Les Mis is like a sexual experience. You have to go through all the motions, sometimes the middle is the best, sometimes the end is the best. But it is most definitely highly stimulating from beginning to end.

“Treasure Island” and "Amelie" - September 30, 2015

A story is an illusion, a series of events that are not really taking place, presented in a way that fools its audience into believing, for a moment, that it is all really happening. Telling that story in a book or movie is a certain kind of trick, with its own rules and traditions, and telling the same story on the stage is quite another. But transferring a story from one medium to another—say, from the screen to the stage—that may be the hardest trick of all. Which brings us to ‘Treasure Island’ and ‘Amélie.’ Two beloved stories, one a classic book and the other a beloved modern masterpiece of cinema, have both landed on stage in the Bay Area, and each carries its own unique kind of cross-media magic. At Spreckels Performing Arts Center, in Rohnert Park, Robert Louis Stevenson’s iconic pirate adventure ‘Treasure Island’ hits the stage in a compact, robust adaptation by Ken Ludwig. Someone give me an Arrrrrrr? Directed with humor and charm by David Yen, staged in the intimate studio theater with exhilarating in-your-face inventiveness and plenty of robust, swashbuckling energy, the crafty condensation of Stevenson’s classic works surprisingly well. The story, though stripped down a bit, is quite faithful to the book, with the exception of a few lady pirates thrown in here and there—something that might have shocked Robert Louis Stevenson and possibly some of the pirates. The strong, versatile cast is led by a grounded, impressively non-cartoonish John Rathjen as Long John Silver, often played a bit too over the top, but not here. In this production, the whole cast slips gracefully in and out of dozens of characters. Animated projections combine with cleverly adaptable set pieces to turn the stage into a ship’s decking with rolling waves over the stern, to an island jungle filled with waving foliage. The effects works well, and if some of the book’s detail and depth of character are swept overboard in the process of translation, the loss is more than made up for in sense of rollicking, high-spirited, double-crossing, sword-clashing fun the able-bodied cast and crew bring to the stage. Translating the beloved 2001 French comedy Amélie to the stage is a different kind of trick altogether, and turning it into a musical only makes the challenge harder. But with a book by Craig Lucas—he wrote the play Prelude to a Kiss—and with lovely, ethereal tunes by Daniel Messé and Nathan Tysen, this supremely satisfying adaptation—directed with immense creativity by Tony-winner Pam MacKinnon—is a sweet, sneaky surprise of a show. As Amélie, the café worker who sets out to make the world a happier place, Samantha Barks is everything an Amélie should be—beautiful, sweet, a little wacky, and thoroughly beguiling. There is a marvelously whimsical sense of innocence in the play, even when incorporating such things as sex shops and orgasms, and the story’s transformation into a musical—rather than proving distracting or cluttered—is so deftly done you might think that the story of Amelie and her bumpy road to finding her own true happiness, was always meant to become a musical. If anything, it’s become better this way. And that’s not an easy trick to pull off. ‘Treasure Island’ runs Thursday–Sunday through October 4 at Spreckels Performing Arts Center, www.spreckelsonline.com 'Amelie’ runs Tuesday–Sunday through October 11 at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, www.berkeleyrep.org

A Dystopia, many estranged children, and a christmas miracle all hit movie theaters this weekend and Kristen Meinzer and Rafer Guzman are here to weight in. On the docket are "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "Delivery Man," and "The Christmas Candle." "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson as winners of the 74th Hunger Games in the movie adaption of the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy. Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, and Stanley Tucci also reprise their roles from 2012's "The Hunger Games." "Delivery Man" is a remake of the Canadian film "Starbuck" about a man, played by Vince Vaughn, who discovers that through an anonymous sperm donation twenty years ago, he fathered 533 children. The cast includes Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders. Finally, "The Christmas Candle" is a film adaption of the Christmas novel written by Max Lucado. It stars Hans Matheson, Samantha Barks, Lesley Manville, and in her film debut, Britain's Got Talent's Susan Boyle. The film is produced by Rick Santorum.
