I could probably write a full essay defending the existence of "A Little Fall of Rain" in the musical of Les Misérables, even though it's not the most accurate portrayal of Éponine's death in the novel, and even though Hugo lovers have every valid reason to dislike it.

Yes, it sentimentalizes and romanticizes Éponine's death. Yes, whether intentionally or by accident, it practically cries out for the audience to ship her with Marius. Yes, it distorts Marius's character from the novel to have him show her such warmth and grief rather than just pity. Yes, it arguably dilutes Éponine's tragedy too: in the novel, a key part of her story's sadness (and arguably its social commentary) is that Marius doesn't care about her, doesn't even give her basic gratitude for all she does for him, and even at her death can only give her compassion, not grieve for her. (Just like Javert's superiors couldn't care less about him, right @secretmellowblog?)

But all those arguments are intellectual. As I seem to remember that @cto10121 once wrote in a post about Les Mis (or was it someone else?), a musical is inherently more emotional and less intellectual than a novel.

From a purely emotional standpoint, I can't deny the beauty or the sheer catharsis of the musical's version of Éponine's death. Not only because Éponine dies blissfully in her beloved's arms, and finally bares her soul to him as much as she can without actually saying the words "I love you," but because at long last, Marius knows her, sees her, shows that he cares about her, and grieves for her as she deserves. This moment of connection and tenderness between Éponine and Marius might not be what Hugo wrote, but in the context of the musical, I wouldn't trade it for anything. and I doubt the most casual fans of the musical would disagree.

IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY TIME IN A MOVIE THAT EDDIE REDMAYNE'S CHARACTER HELD HIS DYING BEST FRIEND/LOVE INTEREST IN THE RAIN AFTER THEY HAD BEEN SHOT, I'D HAVE TWO NICKELS, WHICH ISN'T A LOT, BUT IT'S WEIRD THAT IT HAPPENED TWICE

Musical Theatre Song Contest: Round One C

Submitter’s propaganda under the cut

A Little Fall of Rain

An outstanding duet, romantic and touching. And beautifully poetic too (it wasn’t raining in this scene; Eponine was in shock from getting shot, she was wet from her own blood and mistook that for rain)

it’s so sad. also the symbolism is rlly good. it just makes me cry its so beautiful

Round 1 D Match 1

Propaganda under the cut

Unworthy of Your Love

This song is Sondheim at his best!

It matches the 70s love ballad era the assassins are from as well as subverting the love ballad by making the tone creepy/obsessive within context.

I sure do love romantic duets about stalkers and cults ^v^

The attention to detail in this song is incredible, right down to the fact that both assassins singing loved during the 70’s, so the song sounds like a 70’s love ballad.

Also, the song ends with a failed shooting. Iconic.

silly simps being silly
