The first of the iconic matinee moments... "You look as if you've seen a goat!" from Joly followed by a very confused looking Will Callan stressing 'a GHOST you say a GHOST maybe' and then in the evening show Ben very obviously had to say ghost as a result.

I need to ask Michael Baxter how it feels to be the funniest person in the room because this was the most iconic ad-lib I have EVER heard. You can hear how much I cracked up. THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER.

EVERYONE SHUT UP! STEWART CLARKE (THE BEST JAVERT EVER) HAS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE:

[a-fatal-word]

Per request! This Enjolras is foaming at the mouth for revolution and we love to see it. Also love the juxtaposition here between a very soft, romantic Marius and a loud, fiery Enjolras - just as it should be!

SCREAMING AND CRYING WITH THE GERMAN VERSION OF "EMPTY CHAIRS AND EMPTY TABLES"

I love the way Courfeyrac introduces Marius here bc he's like "Marius is a lawyer wherever" and then starts making fun of him jkgssjkhfdjk

Some of my favorite moments from Barricade Day, 1972 Les Mis.

[a-fatal-word]

LES MISÉRABLES (1925)

“Long live the Republic! I’m one of them.”

Grantaire had risen. The immense gleam of the whole combat which he had missed, and in which he had had no part, appeared in the brilliant glance of the transfigured drunken man.

He repeated:

“Long live the Republic!” crossed the room with a firm stride and placed himself in front of the guns beside Enjolras.

“Finish both of us at one blow,” said he.

And turning gently to Enjolras, he said to him:

“Do you permit it?”

Enjolras pressed his hand with a smile. This smile was not ended when the report resounded.

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Enjolras and his Lieutenants, LM 4.1.6 (Les Miserables 1972)

“Be serious,” said Enjolras. “I am wild,” replied Grantaire. Enjolras meditated for a few moments, and made the gesture of a man who has taken a resolution. “Grantaire,” he said gravely, “I consent to try you. You shall go to the Barrière du Maine.” Grantaire lived in furnished lodgings very near the Café Musain. He went out, and five minutes later he returned. He had gone home to put on a Robespierre waistcoat. “Red,” said he as he entered, and he looked intently at Enjolras. Then, with the palm of his energetic hand, he laid the two scarlet points of the waistcoat across his breast.
