#I’m actually seeing a touring production in a couple weeks i’m so fking excited

[pealeii]

jj I have to tell you something I just saw les miserables for the very first time. it was a high school production and was the high school version and it was absolutely stunning BUT what I came here to say is that. well. yk when fantine is dying and in bed and then Javert shows up and he’s like “valJEAN at LAST we see each other plain”??

well something so cute and cool and awesome (/j) happened with their blocking… when Javert showed up Valjean literally JUMPED up and he quickly went to a small table and pulled out a chair from behind it and he was like. positioning the chair between him and Javert and it was SICKENINGGG/pos to watch. In a thrilling way like I was wondering if he was soso scared of Javert and distancing himself as a defense mechanism or if he was getting ready to throw the chair at him 😭

Well when he’s trying to appeal to Javert like “there is none but me who can intercede” he STEPS IN FRONT OF THE CHAIR like to sort of level with him?? To show he’s not going to throw the chair and that he’s not afraid of Javert??!? only to quickly go back behind it again when Javert starts “you must think me MAD” and I was SO EXCITED FOR CONFRONTATION TO BEGIN because I adore that song and Javert sings “a man such as youuuu” and it’s time and I’m so ready-

and then Javert lunges for Valjean and Valjean like. Fends him off with the chair? And they fight over this chair? AND THEY DONT SING CONFRONTATION AT ALL??!?

it was so so so disconcerting I was so lost. what about you know nothing of javert I was born inside a jail I was born with scum like you I am from the gutter too??!? and it WASNT THERE and I knew it SHOULD have been and AUGH I have. So much to say about this production (this is my only real gripe bc the rest of the show was absolutely fantastic) but idk… I’m still processing this so. sorry this is so long but I wanted to tell someone who knew the show :3

WTFF NOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

BRO I WAS GETTING HYPED UP WHEN YOU WERE JUST DESCRIBING IT WHAT. ALL THAT ENERGY FOR NOTHING

that makes me nervous cuz i might be seeing a hs production of les mis sometime soon 😰😰😰 at least if it does that i’ll be ready

BUT THATS SO COOL THAT YOU GOT TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! My first time watching les mis was a high school production too (i was but a wee lass but it changed me forever)

I’m glad the rest of it was good 💗💗💗
