i wasn’t planning on doing the shoujo cosette javert thing but it’s fine i can sacrifice some project time for this

[formulaheart]

Victor Hugo was really out here introducing 1000 new characters in the back half of the brick and saying "oops sorry guys, here are some new little dudes you're gonna be obsessed with, yeah they're all just kids, yeah, you're gonna love them all, oh yeah also, they're all gonna die, in the same chapter yeah, sorry.."

a valvert fic where javert really needs glasses and valjean takes him to the optician and it's called valjean at last we see eachother plain

[nortism]

shoujo cosette is the best adaptation of les misérables because it portrays marius as a little freak, as victor hugo intended

[magefelixir]

if you haven’t watched the one man les mis yet please do i promise you wont regret it

Just a very silly yet contentious question today:

[orbitingapollo]

*there are songs here that are not exclusively les amis but they are heavily involved

**it is hard to properly write this poll because different recordings divide and name songs/parts differently. i chose to use the song titles from the 2010 west end live recording because that's what im most familiar with

***the other option is there because i left out some songs that include les amis but i didn't feel were focused enough on them to include but i thought others may disagree. also because of my second note

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!!

Woah guys I’ve just been listening to this really amazing musical, you should check it out, it’s called “Les Miserables”— (a sniper rifle takes me out)

[erik-christine]

just the difference between the two.. nick jonas I’m so sorry 😭

[grantaire-lover-69]

Idk what Éponine and Cosette saw in him- Either they like it when he looks like he's about to throw a child at a police officer or the bar is in hell-

[finethingswellworn]

"Such was the confused mass of events that floated pell-mell on the surface of the year 1817, and is now forgotten. History neglects almost all these peculiarities, nor can it do otherwise; it is under the dominion of infinity. Nevertheless, these details, which are wrongly called little—there are neither little facts in humanity nor little leaves in vegetation—are useful. The physiognomy of the years makes up the face of the century."

Yeah, yeah. That's great and true and wonderful and all, but Hugo, my good sir, my man, my guy, you just spent the last several pages writing a glorified list of events that I, some random American here over 100 years in the future, have little to no context for. I thought I liked historical asides. And I usually do but... Aaaaaaahhhhh!
