Today, my school's theatre decided to produce Les Misérables. I got the part of Éponine. My boyfriend, being a talented performer, could have gotten any part he wanted. However, he only wanted to play the soldier responsible for killing Éponine. FML

Today, I auditioned for my school's production of Romeo and Juliet. When they announced that I got the part as Juliet, all the guys auditioning for Romeo suddenly disappeared. FML

Today, I went to see the cast list for the new musical I'm in. I didn't get the part I wanted, and instead I got the part of one of the suitors. Interestingly, they made me the suitor to my ex. And the guy she leaves me for at the end of the musical is the guy she left me for in real life. FML

Today, my school's theater production was canceled. Not because of budget, but because my co-star fell in love with me and asked me out. When I pointedly declined, he refused to act alongside me since it was "awkward." Everyone's blaming me for it. FML

Today, I was sent the script to a play I'm participating in at school. After reading it a couple of times, I noticed that my part has been forgotten completely. FML

Today, we had to do a scene from Romeo and Juliet. I was Romeo, and this really pretty girl was Juliet. When she found out she was with me, I heard her say "FML." FML

Today, I volunteered for a school play. During rehearsal, I was playing the part of an average housewife. The teacher asked for a volunteer to be my husband. Thirty seconds go by and no one raises their hand. The teacher ended up playing the part because no else wanted to. FML

Today, I went to go see my boyfriend of over two years in a play. I knew that he'd be kissing his female opposite at the end of the show, and I was okay with that. I snuck into his dressing room at intermission to find him "rehearsing" with her half-naked. FML

Today, I saw Les Misérables. I was singing along to one of the songs when the guy next to me dumped his soda over my head and told me to shut up. FML

Today, I auditioned for a part in a play. I've been practicing for months, and was very excited. After I'd finished singing, the director whispered something to the other judges, and they all laughed. Hard. So much for the lead role. FML

If you can't be bothered to follow basic rules, then we can't be bothered to take you seriously.

There's no such part. While, in the movie, Éponine is shot on screen while trying to save Marius, in the (quite different on this point) stage version of the musical, she is shot offstage, then collapses after climbing over the barricade to tell Marius she has delivered his message to Cosette.

Yeah, I was waiting to see if there was anyone else who noticed this. Can't really specifically cast for "Soilder #5."

80, 114 - THANK YOU. So many people here seem to have seen the musical, I was wondering why none of them caught this. It segues from "Little People" right into her death : Only thing I can think is, maybe she got the role and then told her boyfriend about it, and he's only seen the movie so he assumed the soldier is in the stage production as well?

He should have been Marius. She's in love with Marius, but he spends the whole play ignoring her in love with Cosette. She dies halfway through and Marius marries Cosette. The Soldier who shoots her isn't even a part in the play. It's only in the movie. If he's really a talented performer, he'd be wasting his talent on a random part.
