#gravroche dies

[for-the-love-of-javert]

Les Miserables 1925 Part 4 - Gavroche (Charles Badiole) is killed at the barricade

A little light went out for me at this moment but once again I found myself quietly singing Gavroche's dying words from the musical

And little people know, When little people fight, We may look easy pickings But we've got some bite!

So never kick a dog Because he's just a pup

We'll fight like twenty armies And we won't give up.

So you'd better run for cover When the pup grows ......................

Thoughts I had while watching the only production in the world of Les Mis currently running: a late barricade day post

- who gave them permission to give prison Val Jean a perm?

- I understand that fantine has to wear two wigs, but man every time does it scream THIS IS A WIG!

- oh no, Javert is hot, like REALLY hot.

-loved the light show furring stars keep it up👍

- love seeing Val Jean fight off javert with the thickest table leg in the world™️

- I can’t understand a world of what Thenardier is saying and I love it

- guess what, Javerts STILL hot and they drew wrinkles on him!

- ✨Enjolras, my beloved✨

- grantaire was playing that shit fruity and he knew what he was doing

- friendship ended with enjolras, now gavroche is my beloved

- don’t worry everyone, the red power jacket made an appearance

- the Marius looked like Charlie Cox and honestly A+ casting with that move

- they put eponine, as wonderful as she was, in maybe the WORST and most unflattering top I’ve seen in my life, plus it was a tank top, in 1800’s FRANCE?!

- friendship ended with gravroche, now cossette is my beloved

- JUST KIDDING IM HORNY FOR REVOLUTION (and enjolras)

- there was this bit where enjolras was in the background and he took a bottle from grantaire and grantaire IMMEDIATELY pulled out a flask and they did this cute little “eeeh” thing and it had MAD gay uncle energy

- when Marius was hiding from Val Jean outside the garden he had cossettes handkerchief and he smelled it and I lost it

- did I mention that Javert was hot?? Like so hot

- no matter how many times I hear the correct pronunciation of Jolly’s name I will never read it right

- they had gavroche standing straight up on the barricade when he got shot and oooof it somehow hurt more to see him just fall limp into enjolras’ arms?

- YO OKAY (I need to mention here that this production is performed in the round at a fairly well funded theatre, so the whole stage is just a very very deep hole that they can lower individual parts of the stage into to change sets and such.) so the stage is all the way down, Javert is on a bridge spanning this massive hole that’s filled with fog. (DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU PLAN ON SEEING THIS IN PERSON) and he GETS UP ON TO THE BRIDGE RAILING AND FUCKING. JUMPS. HE FALLS LIKE 20 FEET MINIMUM AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY CAUGHT HIM. IT WAS INSANE I WAS CONVINCED HE DIED UNTIL HE SHOWED UP FOR BOWS.

- there are individual lines in les mis that are better than entire modern musicals.

- I hadn’t cried the whole show and then after Val Jean died the fuckin bishop met him in heaven and MAN

- this Val Jean... a phenomenal choice, he’s sucks powerful belter and I really loved his voice and he was so darn caring A+
