Happy Year 9 of R6! I compiled some of my favorite moments from the cinematic and the battlepass 🥰

“Dawn of Anguish” and “Second Attack/Death of Gavroche,” US 3rd National Tour, 2006. Victor Wallace as Enjolras, Dan Bogart as Marius, Randal Keith as Jean Valjean, unknown Gavroche.

Another video of a cast I saw in person: in this case the final cast of the 3rd National Tour. It’s unfortunate that the bottom of the stage is blocked from view, but we still get a good showcase of the classic staging on John Napier’s iconic barricade set.

Victor’s Enjolras is a strong one, with good looks, a handsome voice, and vivid acting. If a Hugophile didn’t care for him, I’d appreciate it, though, because while dignified, he’s definitely more of a human firebrand than Hugo’s marble lover of liberty. First of all, he’s more aggressive than most other actors when ordering the women and fathers of children to leave (which is justified by the ensemble members being especially true to the novel and audibly protesting and refusing to go at first), finally shouting “GO!! NOW!!” after the sung line. Later, at Gavroche’s death, his silent anguish is clear and raw, as he hangs his head in abject despair after the boy falls, then staggers down the barricade like a wounded animal and stands panting, overwhelmed. But while this is different from other, more calm and composed portrayals of the character, I think it works. After all, Enjolras is a human being, he doesn’t want his friends to die, and he especially didn’t want Gavroche to die; he has every right to be angry and distraught. Particularly because it won’t stop him from facing his own death with courage and dignity moments later.

Gavroche is excellent, with a strong voice and a beautifully fiery, defiant spirit. He also perfectly executes the throw of the bullet-bag to Enjolras, ensuring that his death won’t be entirely in vain.

One minor annoyance comes from the audience: the audible nervous laughter when the first bullet is fired at Gavroche. I know it’s common to hear in this scene; it’s just an involuntary response that some people have to being startled by the gunshot. But it sounds as if they think a child’s impending doom is funny.
