les mis us tour on november 21, 2024 !!

javert (nick rehberger) said “no 😒” so snootily

the valjean (nick cartell) was INCREDIBLE. his “FLIIIGHT” note in the prologue was an inSANE high belt. and he did it while twirling around?? like WOAH.

the bishop (randy jeter) said “my friend :) you left so early” so gently

the factory girl who fought fantine was genuinely great??? like when she said “sleeping around” she made a little gesture and got all up in her face about it

before fantine died, valjean and her hugged 🥺

the thernadiers were GREAT. we had a panel with the actor of marius (jake david smith) and thernadier (matt crowle) and thernadier said he had a newer take on the character that he described as more of a jester, and you could tell! he really leaned into the physicality. i liked it

when madame did the sign of the cross thernadier just like. flopped his hands vaguely around

stars was fucking incredible. like WHAT. such a stoic javert…and a RICH voice. absolutely gorgeous rendition

javert and gavroche had this little moment after javert cleared everyone away where they just looked at each other like “ok……..respect.”

KYLE ADAMS GRANTAIRE IS BETTER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE

during red&black grantaire kissed combeferre on the head and later sat on his lap. he was also just SO CUNTYY. he crossed his legs in the most CUNTY way and just traipsed around and messed around with people and SERVED

when grantaire said “let’s give them a a screwing they’ll never forget” he empasized screwing like “let’s give them a screwing 😏💅 they’ll never forget”

ALSO!!!!! his and gavroche’s friendship was amazing !!!! like they would hug all the time 🥺🥺🥺 they had so many little moments. after grantaire’s verse in drink with me gavroche came over and hugged him on the legss!!! 💔💔😫😫 and when gavroche died (holy shit) grantaire ran over and hugged him and tried to wake him like WTFFF 💥💥💥💥💔💔💔

OKAYYY OH MY GOSH eponine (mya rena hunter) was amazing!!!!!!!! her on my own gave me CHILLS WOAHAHAH SHE WAS INCREDIBLE!!

AND MARIUS AND COSETTE WERE SO SWEET <3333 THEYRE DYNAMIC WAS EVERYTHING. like the cosette (delaney guyer) was SO short it was adorable. also her voice was naturally high and i really enjoyed it

marius was great. when he said “marius pontmercy” in heart full of love he bowed to cosette so goofily 😂

ALSO A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!! It was done so intimately—marius and eponine were so close to each other in their own corner and the whole stage was dim except a spotlight on them, and they sang so softly to each other it was like you were leaning into this conversation between just the two of them it was 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭

also during that song at one point gavroche tried to come over but grantaire pulled him back

and bring him home holy shiT. he started so quiet and gentle, but then his voice just SOARED as he got into it. just WOAH.

also!! when valjean read marius’ letter he stopped at the “well” when marius is writing about how cosette loves him as well. so like “love me as…well 🤨” SOO funny. bc he’s always so *valjean* and serious yknow but that break was so good

JAVERT’S SOLILOQUY. HOLY SHIT. he did my FAV thing of screaming the first two lines which 10000/10💥💥💥💥💥💥 and when he jumped, the set just like UNRAVELED around him (like how he himself was unraveling!!!) and he stayed suspended in midair while being moved back

at the end when valjean dies, he had the same candlesticks that the bishop gave him set up!!

Okay okay I agree with everyone talking about the possibility of Pluto finally getting to go to France and meeting Duke in one of his shows, but I now raise you: What if they met BEFORE and Duke was actually the one to tell him about France and the lights and everything. What if Duke were the reason he wanted to go there in the first place. What then.

[missescalientee]

Hypothetically, how would things go if Niccolo and Gryffin somehow wound up in Lonesome Flats while Niccolo is still a kid?

In this context, how would little Niccolo feel about Country trolls and their music? Would he have gotten along with Country trollings his age?

They'd probably end up there via Gryffin getting brave and just kidnapping his own child instead of sending him back to Cecile lmao

The one rule is no outside music which Gryffin is fine with as long as Nicky's safe, this would've taken place before the incident which hasn't been revealed yet.

Niccolo would probably love Country music, not as much as his home music or the secret third music in his heart, but he'd like it a lot!

I think he'd also get along with some of the country trollings they're also probably a bit rough and tumble, but I feel like less so, and they would be more comfortable chilling out as well

Niccolo would be a lot more open by virtue of having a father who's encouraging him and supporting him rather than pulling away like he had been before. Without either of them having Cecile looming over them Niccolo becomes kinder and more accepting early on, and Gryffin is a lot more confident!

I find it hilarious that they did a whole joke about the devil’s ass crack but the day before my TIT show (Manchester n1) I went on a day tour of the Peak District and they took us down a cave literally called the Devil’s Arse 💀

[dreamaboutwhathappens]

truly starting off this leg of the tour the way it should have the first time — confident and surrounded by people who love her :)

[touchlikethesun]

it does kinda feel crazy to know enough about a topic that i consistently come to work at the museum and they're like "can you give a tour today on this or that aspect of the museum's collection?" and i don't need to even prepare anything, i can just say yes. like again, i know this is like. normal. for adults with jobs to be able to do their job. but it still feels weird to me that i can speak with authority about anything other than fandom

How much do you think Noel shitting on Liam writing with co-writers is done to Noel's actual opinion on writing with co-writers and how much is jealousy that Liam is singing someone else's songs and Noel being afraid Liam won't need him anymore because of that?

I don't think Noel actual has* that negative an opinion about the concept of co-writers**, outside of the fact that he doesn't really operate creatively that way himself and anything done different to how he does something is immediately suspect and inferior. Noel disdained co-writers because it was the quickest shortcut to undercutting Liam's music, the latest in their decades-long mostly-one-sided musical arms race. It was simply the post-break-up version of a "liam wishes he were me" type sentiment imo

So I also don't think the remarks were rooted in jealousy. Maybe a cousin to jealousy, where he knows Liam sings best on his music, and he wants everyone to know and acknowledge that, and no, he doesn't want to write for him, but rest assured if he did it would be better than anything else Liam sang on*** etc.

*noel's actual opinion ≠ making the easy hit

**lennon-mccartney hellooooo mr big beatles fan

***he basically said something to this effect after Beady Eye split, offering that he could give Liam a few songs, which was oddly SWEET before he ruined it by continuing, "and they'd be a fuck of a lot better than what he was singing"
