#the abc cafe

[cometomecosette]

I've been watching various performance clips of "The ABC Café/Red and Black" (from different stage productions, plus the movie and the concerts), and I've found I have a preference for a staging detail that varies at the end. There are two ways that the final chorus of "Red and Black" can be performed, even in productions that follow the same basic blocking where all the Amis stand up while singing and Marius finally stands up too and clasps Enjolras's hand at the end. I have feelings about those two variations.

I've found that I prefer performances where Enjolras looks around at all his friends to confirm their allegiance to the cause (only turning back to Marius at the end), and they all do so by sharing gazes and handshakes with him and with each other, than performances where the whole group fixates on Marius and sings to join Enjolras in reminding him of their "higher call." It feels more inspiring in the first staging; more about their fellowship and firm belief in their ideals. It's more sympathetic than when they're all preaching at Marius that his love means nothing compared to their cause, until he finally (temporarily) agrees with them.

Doing it the second way won't break a performance for me, but I do slightly prefer the first.

(P.S. Since I'm comparing "Red and Black" renditions, you can probably guess which character my next characterization comparison post will be about. And it's not Marius, because I've already covered him.)

It's the 39th anniversary of Les Misérables on stage, which means Les Amis de l'ABC have been dying for their cause for 14244.75 days.

The Sweet Spot 13.5 k

Relationships: Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV) Characters: Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV), Evan "Buck" Buckley, Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, Howie "Chimney" Han, Bobby Nash, Athena Grant, Original Characters Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Alternate Universe, Mythical Beings & Creatures, Fluff, joy, Angst, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, References to Depression, Baking, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Mutual Pining, First Kiss Summary:

The Sweet Spot was nestled on the side of a mountain, a world away from the urban expanse of Los Angeles where they all once resided. Opening a bakery was the start of a new beginning. Then, a year ago, the emergence of a magical portal altered the course of their lives forever.

Within a month, the mythical patrons had surpassed the sleepy town's usual crowds, prompting Eddie and Buck to transition their bakery into an evening-only establishment, open from Thursday to Sunday.

Magical portals to other realms should have put them on the evening news, maybe even earned them visits by swarms of scientists and government officials. But no one seemed to care.

The way that Ramin sings “who cares about your lonely soul” is addictive omg I just needed everyone to have their ears blessed by hearing this

saw kyle adams as grantaire for the third time last night and he just Gets the character so well. absolutely outstanding performance, especially in grantaire’s relationship with gavroche. i cried when he stood holding gavroche’s body and shaking his head, then laid him down on the floor and held him :( if you get to see the current touring company, do yourself a favor and take it, and keep your eyes on grantaire for the whole damn show.

You can't accuse Victor Hugo of burying his gays. He treats everyone equally.

He just decided to bury them all.

🙂👍 hope that helps

2011 madrid los miserables, in which half the characters have a bob, grantaire gives marius a kiss on the cheek, and, most importantly, grantaire takes a little sip from a candle

during the excavations of Troy they found a pub right next to the city gates. it had a bar, tables, dispensers, a storage and everything. they gave out rations from this very pub.

how would you feel if i told you that soldiers went to this pub to heal their wounds, to chat, to gossip, to get drunk, to get to know the man that saved their life? how would you feel if i told you that they felt the loss of their every companion like a black hole in their hearts every time a chair went empty? how would you feel if i told you that they were likely the first to hear the screams when their prince was killed? how would you feel if i told you that this would have been the very bar they celebrated and got drunk in the night the Trojan Horse was pulled in?

how would you feel if i told you that after the Siege the pub remained empty forever? no one would ever know of the love they shared. hmm? how would you feel?
