I finally saw Les Miserables live in Milan yesterday so obligatory yap:

Okay first of all: KILLIAN DONNELLY?!?!?!? I was already excited that I was going to see him as Valjean but god that man's voice is just so beautiful. He played a spectacular Valjean, he dominated the stage and the crowd went wild every time he sang. I have no words. Just. What an experience. The whole cast was amazing but jesus, this man could do a one man show of Les mis and id give my first born to see it. Also, he carried around Marius's actor like he weighed nothing, that's so Valjean of him. Also, his soliloquy broke me, how he tried to give back the candlesticks after the bishop gave them to him, how he let the bag fall on the floor and picked it up only later. The emotion he put into his singing constantly brought tears to my eyes. What a voice. Indescribable

JAVERT!!!! Bradley Jaden was amazing. I love how much rage he gave to his character, it felt very true to the novel, on how he's compared to a wolf. In stars he's so devoted but the part that literally shook me was after he let Valjean and Marius go: he literally lost his mind and shouted "WHO IS THIS MAN" with such a wild air I literally gasped. He was unhinged during that song, so outraged and bitter and I loved it. It almost felt like he was killing himself to take Valjean's act of mercy away from him instead of his internal turmoil and honestly? I loved it. He had such a presence on stage it literally felt like he was the law. Also let's be honest, he rocked the coat

I LOVED Channa Hewitt as Fantine, She had such a warm and soft voice it felt like a mother's embrace. I cried 4 times during the show and 2 of those were Fantine's death and Fantine's part during the finale. She was perfect

Nathania Ong as Eponine????? I don't think I've ever heard someone sing her parts as perfectly as her. What a voice. Honestly I think the applauses for her were some of the longest and they were completely deserved. She made me cry. Amazing. Spectacular. I fell a little bit a lot in love. Unfortunately she missed the "He was never mine to lose" line but I think it was because her microphone wasn't connected?? Never mind she was perfect.

I know you all want to know about our boys Enjolras and Grantaire so. There wasn't much enjoltaire going on tbh but I didn't mind, I still think the actors (James D. Gish and Raymond Walsh) were perfect and I love their performance. Enjolras was completely focused on the revolution and keeping the others on track, while Grantaire mainly stuck with Gavroche all throughout. Enjolras's most positive reaction to grantaire was ironically clapping with the others at R's jokes once during Red and Black, but apart from that he was fairly hostile to him. During Drink With Me he tried to stop R from singing and bringing down morale by getting close to him and roughly saying "That's enough!" into the same microphone; after he stopped singing and everyone started moving away Enjolras tried to stop Grantaire or talk to him, he seemed kind of apologetic, but R Simply raised his bottle to him in a mock toast and then turned his back to him and I loved that, I love a bitter and petty Grantaire. Grantaire at the beginning was very amused by the whole situation and the excitement of the others, during red and black and the building of the barricade he kept hyping Gavroche up and parting his shoulder, nudging him towards the others as if it was all a game. When the first shots sounded he seemed to realize the gravity of the situation and started nudging Gavroche away and motioning for him to go away; later when the shooting for the fall of the barricade started sounding he lifted Gavroche in his arms and held him as the others started to fall until only them and Enjolras stood; then Gavroche went limp and R died with him, Enjolras died last. For the rest of the show and for Empty Chairs at Empty Tables Enjolras, Grantaire and Gavroche were on the small balcony/platform over the centre of the stage and to be honest it had a very "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" vibe in my opinion.

One Day More was absurd, it gave me chills all throughout.

When Valjean died and the bishop came in the hugged each other very hard, Valjean basically fell into the bishop's arms and that hit me hard.

Gavroche was so sassy I loved him.

Honestly everyone was perfect I literally have nothing bad to say. I think Enjolras's actor lost controls of his voice on a sillable but who cares, it was all amazing.

I also got merch! (It was all so expensive????? But I couldn't help myself). I got a tote bag with Cosette's famous illustration, a magnet and a brochure with the history of Lea Miserables and information and interviews of the World Tour cast. I also got 2 of the paper bags (they were cute okay) and my mum grabbed a literal handful of the bookmarks they were giving away lmao.

I'm sure I had something else I wanted to say but after these last 3 days my brain is completely scrambled. If any of you were at the show yesterday or are going in these days feel free to hit me up so we can go crazy together lmao

my mom went under a facebook post of the theater in milan that is doing les mis in a month or so and there were a bunch of comments going "ermm this is the concert version!!! this is not the musical!!!!" i am going to hold your hands as i say this

[russell-crowe]

i just saw the les mis tour in copenhagen and it was so, so much fun! i cried at plenty of scenes i had never cried at before, which is always the magic of seeing the different adaptions - each carries emotional punches in different ways.

it was fun to see channah again after seeing her play fantine in the dutch version and she nailed i dreamed a dream tbh! usually i am still too overwhelmed to cry at that song, but this time i got goosebumps AND tears!

i also really really loved killian in his role as valjean. i was not quite sure about it purely on appearance, but his tone and soft performance just completely sold me. his death was one of the most touching deaths i have ever seen and he nailed everything tonight imho.

i have a bit of a love/hate relationship with bradley but i think he delivered tonight! also the way he plays javert is so cunty and i am begging for him to get pegged.

Les Mis World Tour Day

How many times is too many to see the Les Mis staged concert? I'm on 3 and I think that's fine right???

Wherever Ball and Boe go you shall find me

[hadleysmis]

I was so happy and shook that I saw Alfie Boe on stage accidentally (I did not book the date he was supposed to perform), and I was so excited that I called Omoni after it was done, and she screamed from the other end of the call.

Correct response, omoni, correct response 😤💯

I saw him with Bradley Jaden, not Michael Ball.

The age difference made me think of this pair, illustrated by Inuki Kanako in her adaptation of Les Misérables:

Not the dialogue, though.

[24601orwhatever]

my favorite insignificant scene in Les mis is the scene where grantaire and javert spend a very brief 2 minutes together and grantaire IMMEDIATELY clocks the homo energy between Valvert . And proceeds to use that newfound knowledge to tease jav

[corvidcantina]

I went to see Les Mis in Milan and oh my god. An incomplete list of what I liked:

Javert!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing. Showstopping. Spectacular. I have a crush on this old man. The hair. The voice. The development from straight laced to completely disheveled. His last song being basically spoken as if warring with himself. Chef’s kiss

COSETTE GOOD GOD

ÉPONINE MY BELOVED THE ACTRESS WAS PERFECT YOU FELT HER HEART BEEAKING!!!!

GAVROCHE GAVROCHE GAVROCHE GAVROCHE GAVROCHE HAVE I MENTIONED GAVROCHE???

Gavroche flipping Javert off at the barricades. Poetic fucking cinema.

Enjolras and Grantaire always in each other’s space. Excuse me while I cry

Grantaire adopted GAVROCHE canon literally always with an arm in his shoulder aaaaahhhh so sweet I could cry. Also he let him drink from his bottle lol

Grantaire. I loved him. As I knew I would. Very funny very sad. Perfect

THE BATTLE SCENES

ENJOLRAS DYING ALONE left a kind of bittersweet taste in my mouth like on the one hand it was framed perfectly with him at center stage and the lights interlocking with one another to highlight him in the shadows they created as the last shots echoed. Amazing. On the other hand THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED AAAAAGGGGHHHHH

Valjean. What else do I have to say.

honourable mention to the Thenardiers

Marius the man that you are

Joly being the only one applauding whenever someone said something he agreed with

the Greek chorus kinda thing in some of the scenes was great

the orchestra was BREATHTAKING they were really something else 100% would listen to a whole concerto

Every moment of this was amazing. I am so happy I went. Plus we weee lucky enough that they had to fill in some seats so they upgraded our tickets for free. Heheheheheh

[motions1ckn3ss]

seeing chappell roan next week (!!!) in london and i've decided on a whim that the very next day i will go and see the evening performance of les mis as it will be the day before djavan van de fliert finishes playing enjolras and i simply must see him

[centrifuge-politics]

Just saw the les mis arena world tour in Copenhagen and im speechless!! there will potentially be a run-down/write-up when i organize my thoughts and have some free time—long story short, it hits on every possible level (except that they still insist on calling it the MIZ).

Also, maybe this is a shot in the dark, but i'll be seeing the Chatelet Theater les mis revival this coming first week of december (twice actually 🫢) and i was wondering if anyone has the same plans? it would be cool to meet up with some les mis folks in paris!

im also planning to attempt the @barricadeur les mis in paris walking tour—a fully les mis themed getaway!

feel free to message me or stalk me through the luxembourg gardens if you so choose!

[stars278]

Killian: (looking out at the audience) “Wow…” *turns to Bradley* “This is our job!”

Bradley: “I know!”

I love these two 🥹🥰

Valvert fans come get your World Tour hugs 🥰
