so i stumbled across this video of a piano player in disney world. he was just playing some spooky tunes from the haunted mansion and nightmare before christmas. Then. Out of nowhere. He breaks into the most upbeat-ass rendition of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables that’s ever existed.
and now i’m just picturing marius dancing around the empty cafe musain like
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
Terrence Mann also has an Enjolras audition story!
He wanted the part of Javert from the beginning, but the casting director didn’t think he was a good fit for the part. After some begging he was given the chance to audition for Enjolras. However, he walked into the audition room and auditioned for Javert anyway, and that was that.
Imagine that you marry the love of your life, and then a year later you find out that your dad, the kindest person you know, whom you were extremely close to, had always secretly hated him and considerd him an idiot. And you had no idea.
And now he got some old cop who makes fun of your husband all the time. I would bite.
My embarrassing admission is that I’ve been seriously into Newsies and Les Mis at various points, but I still can’t tell apart those swarms of hot young background guys that the fans go crazy about when I watch them. Hell I still don’t know most of the barricade boys’ names! There’s Enjolras, Grantaire, and the Comb Ferret but beyond that I couldn’t tell you.
sorry for hijacking your post op but i needed to draw comb ferret
