In response to the news, Sam tweeted “Words cannot express how much I appreciate all the amazing support I have received from everyone! I haven’t stopped smiling!! 
” Aw!
What do you think of Sam getting the role of Eponine?
Samantha Barks to Star in Les Mis!
Yay Samantha! i love Taylor Swift but i don’t think she was a good choice for Eponine. I’m so happy for Sam!
samantha already had her chance to play her on broadway and i think taylor should have gotten the chance to play her in the movie.
I love Taylor Swift don’t get me wrong but Samantha has the experience to portray Eponine. Taylor is great but she doesn’t have the same amount of stage experience.
I watched this long show on TV. I thought she did a fantastic job. I never like watching shows that aren’t interesting and too long and this one was very long, but interesting. I can’t believe I sat through it all and actually liked the story line. I would love to watch it again.
