happy OFPD day!!

Moon, tell me if I could Send up my heart to you? So, when I die, which I must do Could it shine down here with you? 'Cause my love is mine, all mine I love mine, mine, mine Nothing in the world belongs to me But my love mine, all mine, all mine

something something about enjolras being grantaire's source of light all this time but at the moment of enjolras' death grantaire reignited that hope/light in enjolras (it's subtle but their hands are glowing!!)

[butts-of-the-barricade]

i forgot until today that enjolras being called apollo is. in the brick. i fully thought that was a fandom thing. this book man, is it classic lit or fanfiction (both, it’s both <3)

popcultplanet #EarthAbides star #AaronTveit spoke with me about the magic of movie musicals like #WickedMovie and #LesMiserables 💚🩷🧹🫧

✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

Kristen Maldonado: You are one of our fan favourite Fiyeros and I was wondering if you're excited for the Wicked movie and what you hope that people take away from this world that you had previously been a part of and now it's gonna be able to be seen by people all over the world. Aaron Tveit: I'm so excited for the Wicked movie to premiere. I'm very fortunate that I got to be a part of the Les Mis film and I think movie musicals are so special. I think that anytime that there's one that's done at this scale, I think it's just amazing for the genre and amazing for theater. This story in particular, I mean, I did Wicked 15 years ago on Broadway and so to see it finally realized in this way with the people that are in it, it' amazing. I can't wait to see it. I haven't seen it yet. I got invited to a couple screens and I couldn't go, [laugh] so I'm actually dying to see it. It's a really wonderful thing to be a small part of that history and to see it going on to what it's about to go on to. Kristen: Oh absolutely and I love the Les Mis mention. That's another show that's one of my absolute favorites. In the world of Broadway, anybody could take on a role and it changes. When someone's on stage, like one person different, and it's completely a whole different project. Then to see it on screen and be like, wow, we've like encapsulated and we've like captured this moment, is so cool. You will forever be our Enjolras. Aaron: I'm like, wow, one day I'm gonna show that to like my kids or something. Look what I did, right? It's like very, very cool. ✧

The golden hue

les mis us tour on november 21, 2024 !!

javert (nick rehberger) said “no 😒” so snootily

the valjean (nick cartell) was INCREDIBLE. his ���FLIIIGHT” note in the prologue was an inSANE high belt. and he did it while twirling around?? like WOAH.

the bishop (randy jeter) said “my friend :) you left so early” so gently

the factory girl who fought fantine was genuinely great??? like when she said “sleeping around” she made a little gesture and got all up in her face about it

before fantine died, valjean and her hugged 🥺

the thernadiers were GREAT. we had a panel with the actor of marius (jake david smith) and thernadier (matt crowle) and thernadier said he had a newer take on the character that he described as more of a jester, and you could tell! he really leaned into the physicality. i liked it

when madame did the sign of the cross thernadier just like. flopped his hands vaguely around

stars was fucking incredible. like WHAT. such a stoic javert…and a RICH voice. absolutely gorgeous rendition

javert and gavroche had this little moment after javert cleared everyone away where they just looked at each other like “ok……..respect.”

KYLE ADAMS GRANTAIRE IS BETTER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE

during red&black grantaire kissed combeferre on the head and later sat on his lap. he was also just SO CUNTYY. he crossed his legs in the most CUNTY way and just traipsed around and messed around with people and SERVED

when grantaire said “let’s give them a a screwing they’ll never forget” he empasized screwing like “let’s give them a screwing 😏💅 they’ll never forget”

ALSO!!!!! his and gavroche’s friendship was amazing !!!! like they would hug all the time 🥺🥺🥺 they had so many little moments. after grantaire’s verse in drink with me gavroche came over and hugged him on the legss!!! 💔💔😫😫 and when gavroche died (holy shit) grantaire ran over and hugged him and tried to wake him like WTFFF 💥💥💥💥💔💔💔

OKAYYY OH MY GOSH eponine (mya rena hunter) was amazing!!!!!!!! her on my own gave me CHILLS WOAHAHAH SHE WAS INCREDIBLE!!

AND MARIUS AND COSETTE WERE SO SWEET <3333 THEYRE DYNAMIC WAS EVERYTHING. like the cosette (delaney guyer) was SO short it was adorable. also her voice was naturally high and i really enjoyed it

marius was great. when he said “marius pontmercy” in heart full of love he bowed to cosette so goofily 😂

ALSO A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!! It was done so intimately—marius and eponine were so close to each other in their own corner and the whole stage was dim except a spotlight on them, and they sang so softly to each other it was like you were leaning into this conversation between just the two of them it was 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭

also during that song at one point gavroche tried to come over but grantaire pulled him back

and bring him home holy shiT. he started so quiet and gentle, but then his voice just SOARED as he got into it. just WOAH.

also!! when valjean read marius’ letter he stopped at the “well” when marius is writing about how cosette loves him as well. so like “love me as…well 🤨” SOO funny. bc he’s always so *valjean* and serious yknow but that break was so good

JAVERT’S SOLILOQUY. HOLY SHIT. he did my FAV thing of screaming the first two lines which 10000/10💥💥💥💥💥💥 and when he jumped, the set just like UNRAVELED around him (like how he himself was unraveling!!!) and he stayed suspended in midair while being moved back

at the end when valjean dies, he had the same candlesticks that the bishop gave him set up!!

disliking the Les Mis movie in 2024 is embarrassing. ''they weren't broadway singe-'' get over it. ''russell crowe wasn't good-'' what if I ate your spleen.

[butts-of-the-barricade]

literally them

[butts-of-the-barricade]

Everywhere I turn all I see is them

[butts-of-the-barricade]

I think that the Enjoltaire people are so crazy because while a whole revolution is happening they’re paying attention to the most curious details in the musical, and I love it

Guys, please remember that the entire plot of Les Mis is about taking the unlovable and hated by society and then discovering the beauty and worth of that thing and allowing it to bloom and grow. It's not about how only characters 'I like' or 'Agree with' have value and get to grow, it's about EVERYONE having opportunity and choosing or refusing that opportunity

[butts-of-the-barricade]

When I watch Les Miserables (2012) I'm always struck by how right Javert looks in the civilian clothes compared to his uniform

working class face (affectionate)

[butts-of-the-barricade]

I remember watching Les Mis 2012 with my friend and we had the subtitles on at it was like "Javert's Suicide" or whatever at the start of the song and I'm like ok spoiler alert

[butts-of-the-barricade]
