I cannot describe how happy I am that she's joined Lea Salonga and Carrie Hope Fletcher's Eponine+Fantine club!

She sang it in the original key at first (Eb Major), but switched to a half step higher during the middle of the tour!
I’m about to finish les mis, and it has been one of the most fun and encapsulating pieces of media i have ever had the opportunity to come across. I saw it in a bookstore two months ago and, not knowing what it was, checked out the back and immediately dropped what was on my summer reading list to take this novel on. immediately i was enamored with the flow and style of which hugo writes (the bishop section is still one of my favorite parts), and want more.
regardless, my girlfriend does not have the time nor patience for this novel, and i am not the type of person to push my interests on someone who could not gaf about a intricate layout of waterloo. But i think she would love this emotional epic and want to introduce it to her while also satiating my appetite for the story. I’ve generally heard that the miniseries from 2018 is pretty good, but does anyone have recommendations that they can extrapolate upon?
also if anyone has recommendations for similar french artists that focus on romanticism that would be lovely. I particularly like anything that has to do with social justice.
A little Les Mis throwback if you will
Chapter 2: The Scammer Innkeepers
A few years later, Fantine’s baby girl, Cosette, was a toddler. Fantine had to leave Paris to find work back in her hometown, but no factory would hire a single mom with a kid—the social standards back then were a total red flag.
While walking through a village called Montfermeil, Fantine saw two little girls playing on a swing outside an inn, looking super cute and aesthetic. Their parents, the Thénardiers, ran the place.
Madame Thénardier looked like a total Karen and was built like a linebacker, and Monsieur Thénardier was a skinny, sketchy little scammer who looked like a literal rat. But to Fantine, who was desperate and naive, they looked like a wholesome, blended family.
"Hey," Fantine said, approaching them. "I need to go find a job, but I can't take my daughter with me. Can you gatekeep my child for a bit? I'll pay you every month."
Monsieur Thénardier smelled the bag immediately. His inner hustler woke up. "Bet. But it’s gonna cost you a dummy thicc subscription fee. Seven francs a month, plus you gotta pay for her clothes."
Fantine emptied her wallet, gave them the money, kissed Cosette goodbye, and left.
The moment Fantine was out of sight, the Thénardiers completely flipped the script. They put their own daughters in high-end, aesthetic fits, and treated Cosette like an absolute slave. They took the nice clothes Fantine sent and sold them for cash. They dressed Cosette in rags, made her sweep the floors, fed her leftovers under the table with the cat, and beat her. At five years old, Cosette was living a literal nightmare, completely traumatized, while her mom thought she was being pampered.
Hi, I don't know if it's okay to ask, but is it a silly question, because I noticed it changes from a fanfic to another one
I'm sitting in my seat waiting for the start, I've read the book and seen the Liam Nieson movie but never the musical. I recalled the whole story to my 9 year old on the ride In.
So excited to see this
Update: I really loved it though I will say had I not read the book I would have had no idea what was going on. The performances were pretty good though the diction was really lacking for some stretches. The sets were amazing the little boy that played Gavroche absolutely CRUSHED! And I knew that there was no way to get all of that story into a musical but I think there were a few songs left on the table, especially in Marius' family story but I get why that didn't make it. Overall it was a great way to relive the reading, makes me want to read it again.
Found these on Pinterest
I'm sorry if this sounds like a silly and frivolous question but I brought my 8 year old son to watch Les Mis and was so disappointed that they've done away with the turntable and barricade.
Will they ever bring it back??
Bradley Jaden is my favourite Javert of all time, I know there were the shows at the Royal Albert Hall last week but by the time I found out and looked for tickets they were all over £150.
Does anyone know if he’s going to be doing any more performances?
What I reaaaally want is a super cut of him playing both Javert and Enjolras 😂😩
Bonus: here's Geronimo Rauch performing Stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyPCZGTc_Ls
i have tickets to see les mis on the west end this thursday, but due to the severe weather warnings i’ll be unable to attend as i live in yorkshire, and the trains will inevitably be delayed (i’m seeing the matinee).
they’ve very kindly offered to reschedule - and i was wondering whether i should watch the current cast, or watch the new one - which i believe starts from july 5th?
if anyone knows anything about the current / new company please let me know !!
