SOME PHOTOS OF THE FUTURE "LES MISÉRABLES" PRODUCTION IN PARIS
(the actual cast of the production was the one that appeared at the Olympics opening ceremony)
Concept art of the scenography (I love that it seems really different to the ones in Broadway and West End, can't wait to see it in action)
Costume designs (IM SCREAMING, LOOK AT THE REVOLUTIONARIES ALL WEARING THEIR BELOVED PATRIA's COLOR PALETTE -we all know who took that fashion choice-)
THERE WILL BE ONLY 50 PERFORMANCES IF I UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY, I FEEL SO LUCKY TO BE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH IT LIVE.

Another Les Mis musical connection that's making me feral: Jean Valjean uses the same melody with which he sings to Cosette, "Believe me, / Were it within my power, / I'd fill each passing hour-- / How quiet it must be, I can see, / With only me for company"...
When he sings "You are free, / And there are no conditions. / No bargains or petitions! / There's nothing that I blame you for. / You've done your duty--nothing more" to Javert.
In my journey to map out the various leitmotifs in the show, this one really flung me for a loop because what does it meannnn?? This is the only time we hear the melody in the show, and it's applied in two very different circumstances, where the relationship Valjean has to the characters involved could not be more opposite. What connects them?? But I think I have it.
It's a reluctant release. Not of the people, but of his own desires regarding them. Let me explain.
Valjean very distinctly wants things from both Cosette and Javert, which he sings about on the rising part of the melody. With Cosette, he wants to be the center of her life: "Were it within my power, I'd fill each passing hour;" on the other hand, he desperately wants Javert to leave him alone. When he has Javert at his mercy, he absolutely does want to trade lives, which is why he sings it on the rising part: "And there are no conditions, no bargains or petitions." He does want these things--but he's letting them go.
And that's where the falling part of the melody comes in. In both situations, Valjean knows he can't have what he wants. So he gives up that desire. He accepts that Cosette wants someone else, and doesn't blame her for it ("How quiet it must be, I can see, with only me for company,"), the same way he accepts the situation between him and Javert ("There's nothing that I blame you for. You've done your duty, nothing more."). That's why immediately afterwards, he tells Javert his address, and why shortly after that, he prays that Marius be brought home to Cosette.
Cosette is his biggest security, and Javert is the biggest threat to his security. But in this little melody, he sets them free (Cosette metaphorically, and Javert literally). He acknowledges what he wants, and accepts that he can't have it, even though it hurts.
And if that ain't the most Jean Valjean thing, I don't know what is.
#les mis#les miserables#jean valjean#meta#javert#cosette#my meta posts#kay can i just catch my breath for a second#kay is a classical literature nerd#kay is a musical theater nerd#the way this took me a whole hour to figure out#bc lemme tell you when i first found the melody matched in those two places i almost lost it lol#i was like what on earth could this possibly mean?? and then spent forever just talking to myself lol#hopefully this made sense!!!#and also the way i was like hm ok it's valjean so it has to be self-sacrificial in some way...that's always part of it...#and then it came to me in a flash lol

I saw this line in the book and it actually made me giggle so hard. "Sublime stupidity', 'a host of ambushes' 'he ingenously answered 'yes'".
(See:
https://hiis.isti.cnr.it/demo/eread/Libri/sad/LesMiserables.pdf
page 1041).
So I thought to myself "What if Jean Valjean laid a bunch of Looney Tunes traps for Marius, I think he has the right to!"
and then, being in a silly mood myself I decided to sketch it...
MONSIEUR PONTMERCY WATCH OUT!!!!
