I absolutely adore Éponine, she’s one of my favorite characters (in general, not just in Les Mis), so no one take it the wrong way when I say I absolutely prefer the Bishop being the one to lead Valjean to Heaven in the epilogue. Not so much musically, but more so from a character standpoint. The Bishop is the one who saved Valjean’s soul. Valjean would not know G-d if not for Myriel; so of course Myriel is the best man to lead him to Heaven. The ideal production, to me, has the Bishop leading Valjean to Heaven and also has Javert in Heaven. Unfortunately, such productions seem to not exist (and I am so so so so willing to be corrected about that).

#les mis #les miserables #jean valjean #bishop myriel #like… JVJ is a STRANGER and a CRIMINAL when he shows up at the priest’s door #and myriel doesn’t care. he feeds him and houses him and does not care when Valjean steals from him #valjean never gets rid of the candlesticks #WHEN HES DYING AND SOMEONE ASKS IF HE WANTS A PREACHER FOR LAST RITES #VALJEAN SAYS HE ALREADY HAS ONE #AND POINTS TO THE SKY IN REFERENCE TO MONSEIGNEUR WELCOME #AND DIES IN THE GLOW OF HIS CANDLESTICKS!#THE PRIEST IS THE ACTUAL HERO OF THE STORY. neutral good through and through!#not to mention the MONTHS of mourning JVJ went through after discovering he died!#sky speaks
