Standout Moments from "Les Misérables" Recordings (audio and video), #7

1987 London video bootleg

Martin Smith (u/s Jean Valjean), Clive Carter (Javert), Kathleen Rowe McAllen (Fantine), David Delve (Thénardier), Myra Sand (Mme. Thénardier), Jayne Draper (Éponine), Maurice Clark (u/s Marius), Martin George (Enjolras), Jacinta Mulcahy (Cosette)

Jayne Draper's Éponine rudely shoves Gavroche in "Look Down."

Usually, during Gavroche’s lines about Éponine in “Look Down,” one of two things happens. Either Montparnasse comes on to Éponine but she fights him off, establishing her toughness, or else she exchanges friendly, teasing gestures with Gavroche, establishing her lively, playful nature. Sometimes the two are combined: Éponine pals around with Gavroche, but then Montparnasse interrupts them and she fights him off. But neither happens here. Instead, it looks like Gavroche tries to pal around with her, but she just shoves him aside before wandering off. Now, the video quality is abysmal, so we can’t see the actors’ facial expressions. Maybe that shove was more playful than it looks, or maybe it was protective – Éponine trying to keep her little brother away from the unsavory “work” their parents force on her. But I wonder if they were trying to make Éponine still seem like a rude brat at first, like she was as a child, only to reveal her sympathetic side gradually through her love for Marius. I just wish I could see her face clearly to know for sure!

Honorable Mentions:

*In the Work Song, Martin Smith’s Valjean shields the “I know she’ll wait…” convict from being beaten by the warden. Even before he meets the Bishop, we see his heroic instincts.

*In “Confrontation,” Clive Carter’s Javert taunts Valjean with a “Yes, bring it on!” hand gesture when Valjean first threatens him with the chair, only to skitter backward in shock and fear when Valjean reminds him of his strength by breaking it.
