Everyone rooted for Prisoner 24601 at the movies, including celebrities! After seeing Les Miserables, Glee star Lea Michele—who made her Broadway debut as the young Cosette at the age of nine—Tweeted “Just saw Les Mis.. is was amazing!! As a member of the Les Mis family I thought they did an amazing job and truly honored the show.” Modern Family‘s Eric Stonestreet echoed the sentiments. “Amazing job @SamanthaBarks in Les Miserables! I sang along with u until I was asked to stop by the people around me and then by management.” So have you seen it? Don’t wait One Day More!

Les Miserables sold $18 million worth of tickets on opening day yesterday, and there was a resounding “Who is that girl?!” across the country when Eponine belted out the tearjerker “On My Own” after realizing Marius (Eddie Redmayne) will never love her the way he loves Cosette (Amanda Seyfried). Stripped from her Les Mis dirt-covered wardrobe, that girl is the gorgeous Samantha Barks, a 22-year-old actress and singer from the Isle of Man (an island between England and Scotland). Barks first gained fame in 2008 when she placed third on the BBC talent competition show, I’d Do Anything, which searched for the lead character in the revival for Oliver! in London’s West End. Despite her loss, the actress went on to become a theater star: In 2010, she landed on West End to play Eponine in Les Miserables, where she perfected the role, and, fun fact, she performed alongside Nick Jonas when he starred as Marius. Now, aside from being a scene-stealer for the same role on film—in her first movie casting ever, no less!—she stars in the UK Disney Channel series Groove High and is touring with the company of Oliver! through February 2013. Click through the gallery to see her off-stage and off-screen style, from Emilio Pucci to Stella McCartney. No doubt, Samantha Barks is a star on the rise.

Christmas Day is historically a big movie day, and 2012 proved no different! The epic Broadway-to-big-screen musical Les Miserables topped the box office charts with $18.8 million, just above Quentin Tarantino’s new flick, Django Unchained which got $15.5 million, Deadline reports. Meanwhile, Zero Dark Thirty, This Is 40, and Silver Linings Playbook all pulled in theatergoers, though not with numbers quite as high as the two movies above. That has us wondering, which movie did you see (or want to see most)? Let us know by voting in the poll below!

Congrats to the growing family.
