More photos from the Les Mis OBC. I am so obsessed with this. The sheer 80s-ness of everyone’s outfits. The guy on the right (presumably Grantaire) who does not have a gun, but a glass of wine, the rifle that Gavroche has that is taller than he is. Amazing stuff.
that exr post about them making Meaningful Eye Contact™
theyre so cute
my children fr
ive always wholeheartedly loved highschool productions of les miserables because when abc students have those young boy voices you feel so much grief at their hope to win knowing that they cant
Hey so why was the full version of Little People ever cut from the show and can they put it back right now
LES MIS FANDOM had a thought and wrote in my notes app… tell me what you think
———————
Enjolras on a cart rather than hanging from the barricade after his death is so significant because “everyone’s equal when they’re dead.” He may have been a martyr and deeply admired by all (coughs Grantaire) yet in death he’s treated like everyone else. In the 1800s bodies would often have been discarded this way. It’s so mundane yet the music and the almost godly lighting make him feel peaceful and symbolic—almost as if we’re seeing him through Grantaires eyes 😭. Enj believed so passionately in equality that there’s something beautiful about him being presented so simply in death while the light emphasises the hope he’s left behind.
When I was in a production of Les Mis, we all did a ton of character work and development, which included reading passages from the Brick that our director assigned us. Now, for whatever reason, the guy who played Grantaire read his passages and said “actually, I’m gonna vehemently oppose the idea that Grantaires devotion to Enjolras could be romantic and just say ‘but it’s PLATONIC’ every time someone brings it up.” The thing is, I cannot stress enough that this guy was not homophobic. At all. Like not even close. However, he knew that this stance pissed off pretty much everyone, including our director, so therefore he committed to the bit. Tbh, an incredibly in-character thing for him to do. Anyways, one day we’re in rehearsal, and the guy playing Grantaire, me, and a few other ABC are down by the stage, while the girl playing Enjolras and I are joking about Grantaire being in love with Enjolras. “Grantaire” starts doing his “no it’s PLATONIC” bit but before he gets too far, our director very flatly yells from the back of the auditorium, “[actors name] STOP IGNORING THE GAY SUBTEXT.” And you know what I’d dare say that he kinda did.

9 signatures, found on a damaged document in the backroom of the Cafe Musain. The core members of a group which almost became historic, known as Les Amis de L’ABC…
A calligraphy project I did, mostly as an exercise in different styles of handwriting and attempting to design distinct signatures! I had a ton of fun with it and there are a few more that couldn’t fit in this post so those will be up shortly.
Additional signatures found on other papers left behind in the cafe. These appear on a loose leaf of paper on which it appears two adults were teaching a child to sign their name.

My new favorite thing is promotional photos from the OBC of Les Mis. Valjean is trying to take a nice family photo and Javert is just…idek cooking up evil schemes in the background. He looks like Dracula. What is happening
God I love 80’s broadway

this sucks so bad i need to [remembers suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] go join my friends on the barricade
I have a feeling the Les Mis fans of tumblr dot com will appreciate this so!
Acting choices I made as Gavroche in my school’s production of Les Mis!: (buckle up there’s a lot)
During my first solo in Look Down, I would point across the audience while saying “everyone’s equal when they’re-“ and then I would go “DEAD” and aggressively make eye contact with and point🫵 at someone in the audience. 90% sure I put the fear of god into some random middle schooler by doing that. (Also during Look Down, I would bite one of the coins Valjean gave me in order to verify its authenticity. That was maybe a questionable decision.)
During The Robbery, I would hang out with Eponine while she “watched for the law” and when I would go up to her I would do the classic “tap someone on the opposite shoulder and then pretend you didn’t” thing.
Right before the interjection after Stars, I would slowly walk onstage while Javert was exiting and encourage the audience to applaud for him like “wow! 😀that was a great song right?😀great work from Javert😀!! 😐 just kidding motherfuckers I run this town.”
This wasn’t really an acting choice and more so an “I can’t count while singing to save my life” moment but at the end of Red and Black I would only do a couple “listen to me!”s before I would just go “LISTEN TO ME EVERYBOOOOOOOOOOODYYYYY!!” Until the music stopped, while all of the ABC slowly turned towards me like “wtf”
Whenever we were at the barricade, I was either walking around trying to get a gun from someone or trying to peek over the barricade and getting yanked down and scolded by Prouvaire. Once Grantaire actually gave me a gun and I had a moment of “Oh my god I’m unstoppable they’ll never take the barricades now” until Enjolras immediately clocked it and yanked it away from me.
During the period of time after Little People and before Little Fall of Rain, Javert was tied up onstage and I would stick my tongue out at him, then one night he did it back and we went back and forth just sticking our tongues out at each other.
During Little Fall of Rain, I was so locked in on being DISTRAUGHT over Eponines death that I genuinely cried every night. Also during that song, Grantaire would be holding me until the very end, when she actually dies, at which point he would cover my eyes with his hand and turn my head away. I would also take my hat off and hold it over my chest while she was carried offstage.
During Drink With Me I would try to get a drink from Joly, who was pouring for everyone, and he would be like “😀eh!😀maybeeee!😀🤨just kidding you’re twelve”
Before the final battle, the way I would get offstage was that Enjolras looked directly at me when saying “Let all the women and fathers of children go from here,” then as I realized what was going on, he would signal Feuilly and Prouvaire to grab me, at which point they would be like “alright buddy time to go” and Feuilly would grab my shoulders and Prouvaire would get my legs, so I would be absolutely manhandled offstage while going like “no! Stop it! no! I don’t wanna-let me stay!”
I would die on top of the scaffolding that was our barricade and would just simply stay there until the battle was over, so I would die with one hand hanging off the side of the scaffolding, then Grantaire would take my hand, then slowly let go of it as I believe Marius comforted him(? Idk I couldn’t see that part cause. Ya know. I was dead.) (him taking my hand actually only happened closing night cause the guy playing Grantaire kept forgetting to do it but it was a really cool thing.)
During Emtpy Chairs, Eponine and I were the last to walk offstage, she would go first, then hold out her hand to me and I would take it as we exited. (That was maybe one of my favorite things we did and can take zero credit for it because the girl who played Eponine totally came up with it)
In The Finale, we included Javert, and I was right in between him and Enjolras, so every night I would look between them and smile, then closing night Javert and I smiled at each other during the second chorus and I remember it so vividly because I was tearing up so bad I couldn’t really see him.
thinking about how the actors playing Marius and Eponine in my school’s production of Les mis decided to play their characters like they were childhood friends and how maybe when Marius volunteers to go collect bullets it’s because he’s known Gavroche forever and knows what Gavroche is gonna try to do and is trying to stop him. Is that anything?
my dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😝this strain is called "les miserables" 😳 you'll be zonked out of your gourd 💯
me: yeah whatever. i don't feel shit
5 minutes later: dude i swear i just saw a bishop gifting silver candlesticks to an ex-convict, leading him to a path of redemption
my buddy victor hugo pacing: the french justice system is institutionally flawed
The accidental implication of the staging of the In My Life/Heart Full of Love scene in the production of Les mis that I just saw is that the garden gate was already open, (or Eponine picked the lock) but Marius can’t figure out how to open it so he just climbs over the wall.
Marius: *staring at the gate* how am I gonna get in?
Eponine: *still hiding* I literally just unlocked it for you. It’s open. Open it.
Marius: No I think it’s more inconspicuous if I just climb over the wall.
Eponine: No it absolutely is not. You suck at this. What are you even doing.
Marius: Bold words from someone who isn’t almost over this fence.
Eponine: is this because you don’t know how gates work? Marius do you know how to open a gate
