For Annie Hathaway, this is an extraordinary dream story. Her mother was the stand-in for Fantine on the American tour. When I auditioned Annie in New York I knew how much it meant to her, and of course I tried not to be swayed by it because it had to be about the performance. Luckily the performance showed the years of yearning, in a way. - Tom Hooper
