say what you will about dog eats dog, i'll never not love that up beat DOOT doot DOOT doot DO do DO right before the main chorus/"it's a world where the dog eats the dog" part. does anyone know what I'm talking about. I'm mostly talking about the original broadway version but it's in pretty much every version, I just like it best in that one.

My favorite Earl Carpenter moment of all time is when he was in the Broadway revival of Les Mis and he had this INCREDIBLE Nativity scene in his dressing room and when someone came in to film it, he was just glowering in his corner, giving the performance of his life as Grinch Javert, and being all "I hate Christmas"

Les mis Broadway 2014 was so crazy bc Will Swenson was like the producers have tricked me, former Hair star Will Swenson, into being here so I’m going to play a closeted homosexual and Ramin Karimloo was like I’m in a Calvin Klein commercial!

you all would’ve loved the rendition i saw yesterday.
gavroche and grantaire spent the whole show goofing around.
when eponine fell gavroche tried to run to her side but grantaire stopped him. he held him as she died and once she passed gavroche turned and buried his face in grantaire’s clothes.
after drink with me enjolras tried to comfort grantaire but he pushed him away. instead it was gavroche, who went to his side and pulled him away from the wall. gavroche eventually fell asleep with his head on grantaire’s shoulder.
when gavroche was shot at the top of the barricade, enjolras was holding the front of his shirt. he caught the boys body in his arms as he fell then slowly turned around and handed him off to grantaire. as the fighting raged on, grantaire stood center stage, holding the boy, staring at him. he eventually made his way off to the side where he collapsed to his knees and just held him, shaking his head, shaking gavroche, then just staring at his face.
cannon fire dropped enjolras to the ground and grantaire crawled to his side, begging him to stay. enjolras shoved him to the ground and climbed back up, grabbing a flag. as bullets made enjolras fall once more, grantaire kissed gavroche on the head, grabbed a bottle, and climbed to the top of the barricade. it looked like he tried to grab the flag but didn’t make it. he was the last to die.
these actors were incredible. i spent every scene he was in watching grantaire on the sidelines, either goofing off with gavroche or staring at enjolras. i was delighted at how they embodied these characters and the clear love grantaire had for enjolras. even from the back of the balcony, it was clear where grantaire was staring.
it was my first time seeing the show in person and i hope i have many more opportunities. but i don’t know if anyone will beat them. devin archer and kyle adams were the perfect e/r.
