Earl Carpenter as Joe Gillis in the 2001-2002 UK Tour of Sunset Boulevard. (x)

“…mention must also be made of co-star Earl Carpenter, who must have Michael Ball quaking in his shoes with a voice that would melt snow from a thousand paces.” (x)

lesmisrarepairdaily

The Les Mis Rarepair of the day is …

❤️Enjolras/Madame Thénardier❤️

She dreams of a handsome, rich man to whisk her away from her life of poverty and crime. He has mommy issues. They’re perfect for each other.

Do you ship it?

Yes (ironically)

Yes (genuinely)

One-sided

No

Isn’t worth my spit

Remaining time: 2 days 1 hour

Danny Whitehead as Enjolras, Jacqueline Tate as Mme Thénardier

#OBVIOUSLY YES #les mis rarepairs

The reason the Phantom has to resort to such cowardly trickery around Carlotta is because he knows she would beat his ass if he tried to physically confront her the way he does Buquet/Piangi/Raoul

Try to lasso her and that parasol is going through your ribcage like for real

From a perpendicular discussion @phaptomoftheopera tags

Yes!! I liked Lindsay Ellis's and Dominic Noble's summary of everything Phantom but they did our boy so dirty by stereotyping him as the jerk who calls Christine a disgraced slut and a commoner opera-wench in every scene they're in together.

Exhibit A: he doesn't call her a slut, and in even implying it he knows it's wrong and he judges himself as stupid

Exhibit B: He apologizes and respects her boundaries. I feel like even my favorite media review bloggers keep on missing this part. Raoul didn't even have to kidnap Christine and tie her up to get this epiphany for himself. She just had to look tired at him. Get you a partner who backpedals when you look sad and tired at him.

Exhibit C: how many estates does this guy even have? he's offering one up for like a 19th-century witness protection program, and when Raoul says that he'll finally (finally!) accept the friendzoning — which he should have done sooner, but better late than never ain't that right Erik? — then i actually believe the insolent boy
