Morning. Because if it was a good morning, there'd be a scene in Les Misérables (1978) in which Inspector Javert (Anthony Perkins) gets bent over and rawdogged hard by Jean Valjean (Richard Jordan) until he's pregnant.

But I mean what do I know.

[na-memory]

I am sure it has happened somewhere we did not know

[little-linda]

If Jordanjean had kissed him once (1) in Toulon, the rest of the plot of Les Mis 1978 would have crumbled away because Perkinsvert would have folded like a piece of paper

[na-memory]

exactly *sign*

[jazzvhs]

why is he like that

Does anyone know the story behind when and why musical Javert acquired his long hair? Judging from the original London cast production photos, Roger Allam had short hair in 1985. However, Mann and Quast appear to have long hair in 1987. Why did the production team decide to make this change? It's undeniable that loose, long hair looks impressive in "Javert's Suicide," but I'm sure they had a more substantial reason for it. Maybe some of you know.

[thenardiers]

so, there's no evidence stating that this is explicitly what happened, but I've always suspected that Terrence Mann had a heavy influence on the Javert redesign. when speaking about his Javert audition, he said:

… and I dressed all in black, I had black hair at the time, and I went to the audition with my hair all queued back and looking hopefully like Javert…

(he was actually given an Enjolras audition but went all-in on getting the Javert role, and his performance and appearance were apparently so striking that he got the part on the spot. honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Nunn & Caird committed to the long-haired look then and there.)

for funsies here's a comparison of Mann in the Javert wig in 87, and with his hair tied back in a role filmed two years later:

the wig wasn't the only Javert redesign that happened during the transition to Broadway. Roger Allam's Javert - and his immediate replacement in the 85-86 West End run, Clive Carter - are dressed in what I lovingly refer to as the original turtlevert fit. man's squarer than the brick.

from Broadway 87 onwards we saw Javert with a much more streamlined look. again, Mann seems to have been the first to wear that iconic Javert coat, with a silhouette far more flattering than the West End one. potentially designed that way to compensate for Mann being a dancer and not being very physically imposing, I don't know.

Quast's Javert also had the same redesign, but since the original Broadway production ran from March 87 and the Australian production didn't start until November of the same year, I think it's fair to assume that the Australian one took the design cues already created by Broadway.

finally, Stars also had a rewrite between the West End and Broadway, with the original London version having a much quieter ending. Mann seems to imply that he had a hand in the rewrite:

The song ‘Stars’ didn’t really have an ending on the London cast album; we worked on ways to make more of a statement with it.

sidenote: an almost identical redesign process happened during CATS' transition from the West End to Broadway only a few years earlier. the Rum Tum Tugger's design was particularly influenced by Terrence Mann - him again! - preferring to play the character with a Mick Jagger influence rather than the Elvis vibes that Andrew Lloyd Webber originally wanted.

again, this is just my interpretation, but I can 100% believe that something similar happened with Les Mis: almost everything about Javert was redesigned to fit with Mann's acting style and appearance, and it ended up becoming the blueprint for what we have today.

Sometimes I think about how Philip Quast originally auditioned for Enjolras but couldn’t hit the right note in Do You Hear the People Sing and got really frustrated and told Schönberg and Mackintosh that if they wanted to know how high he could sing they should’ve just given him scales and turned to leave so viciously that Mackintosh wanted him to play Javert

okay you've seen the famous tecklenburg valvert kiss on hand pic but have you seen this

and valjean's actor literally being an outright supporter

[nortism]

Les Misérables (1978) is really good film for people who don’t really care about the plot of Les Misérables but do want to watch two middle aged men try to out cunt each other for two hours

If you need any convincing that Noel and Liam Gallagher are incestuous freaks (affectionate), here's the basic information you need

First of all. The kisses

Loch Lomond kiss, where they just... made out on stage in front of cameras. Cool. There's a gif with every photo from every angle.

In My Mind My Dreams are Real

guess this is the closest we can get to an actual loch lomond video (not my work i found this masterpiece on the almighty internet)

Another kiss, this time in Japan. Here's the actual video.

And here's the same video but together with nice quotes from their 2016 documentary:

... E Outras Manias

Oasis: Supersonic (2016) dir. Mat Whitecross

Here's a 2005 award event where they kiss again and also look quite in love

Storyshark2005

😘

And here's Liam straight up groping Noel during concerts:

... E Outras Manias

Liam couldn’t get enough of Noels bum

General stage antics and more groping:

... E Outras Manias

Me and Liam are head over heels in love at the moment. It’s illegal in some countries but while you’re on the road, it’s fine. - Noel Gallag

Ok. Let's talk about the music, then

Oasis has a song that Noel wrote called "My Sister Lover". The title speaks for itself, really. It includes amazing lyrics such as "You're my lover, I'm your brother"

But there's more! Noel used the same chorus of this song (with different lyrics) for a song he released in his solo album, 20 years later. It's called "Lock All the Doors". The very first line says: "She wore a star-shaped tambourine, prettiest girl I’d ever seen". And guess... guess who famously played a star-shaped tambourine? Liam! And Noel was the one that gifted him the fucking tambourine!!

... E Outras Manias

”She wore a star-shaped tambourine, prettiest girl I’d ever seen was standing lost and lonely on the shore I tried to catch her every night

Liam wrote a song for Oasis called Guess God Thinks I'm Abel

I'll just link everything that's been said about this song, because it really is batshit insane that this song exists

(It's common in the north of England to refer to things and people as "our". When either Liam or Noel say "our kid", they're talking about each other)

Liam has the tendency of thinking every song Noel writes is about him, including the love songs

... E Outras Manias

melody maker, april 96

Here he says "I'm his muse", along with some other interesting quotes

... E Outras Manias

We fight and call each other every name under the sun, but at the end of the day, we’d die for each other -Noel Gallagher.

Ok, now we're on to suspicious quotes!

They had sex last night, according to Liam

This one is my favorite:

... E Outras Manias

"Me and Liam are head over heels in love at the moment" - Noel Gallagher (Gurten Festival 2002 Interview)

Of course this one is just all the weird quotes jammed in one post, you can feel yourself going crazy as you read it

... E Outras Manias

I think I have two more quotes One is Liam saying “I adore him”, about Noel. In this link: https://www.tumblr.com/lovecomedy/73806542380595

Noel assures us that Liam knows about his arse

Other people confirming that they act like a couple

This one, it has Noel saying Liam is deeply in love with him. At the bottom, Liam's tweet.

Actually Liam always tweets things that basically confirm they're relationship. Like when somebody asked him if he ever rimmed Noel. Yeah.

This radio interview is where the most lovely quotes come from. Only Noel was supposed to be interviewed but then they both showed up PISSED DRUNK. Transcription in the same post

Even More weird quotes

This one involves the word impregnate

Noel making a suspicious comment about his daughter and son, Anais and Donovan

I think to be convinced you really just need that, but I'd like to add some niceties.

Just genuinely enjoying each other’s company

This is from the Oasis; 10 Minutes Of Noise and Confusion documentary. As Noel is kissing Liam's cheek, Liam is saying "He’s a fucking cunt and I hate him and I love him and he twists my melon, man. He’s the best songwriter in the fucking world.”

Some sweet quotes, and some not some less sweet ones as well

From the Supersonic documentary

Hugging after playing football

Just being silly

To finish off, two wonderful video edits with endearing moments
