At least 12 cast members of the US touring company of Les Mis are choosing not to perform on June 11th, when 🍊💩 will be attending for a fundraiser.

Important: even if you know the names of any of these actors, please DON’T name them or even speculate “I bet it’s xxxx”.

Richard Grenell, the 🍊💩- installed Executive Director of the Kennedy Center, has said “In fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldn’t hire - and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience.”

Don’t let these artists be targeted for harassment. Please, in solidarity, keep their names out of this.

A kinda interesting thing about Les Mis is how difficult it is to explain the events of the plot in simple terms to people who don’t know the story. People will ask questions if you just say “Fantine was fired when it was discovered she had a child out of wedlock.” They’ll ask who fired her. They’ll ask why no one tried prevent her being fired. They’ll ask if there were precautions she could’ve taken to not get fired. But Fantine’s dismissal happens in the context of a society whose social rules are so accepted and interwoven that small, individuals actions wouldn’t make much of a dent in the problem. Her dismissal is similar Valjean’s experience on parole in that way.

Valjean is refused hospitality everywhere he goes until the bishop offers him kindness. The bishop’s support doesn’t make living as a man on parole significantly easier. Instead, it gives Valjean the means to live as a different man entirely. In Fantine’s case, she doesn’t have a way to change directions as Valjean did. She is still being denied at every turn because of the offenses she is seen as having committed. The point is not for her to keep working at a factory which would fire her for being a single mother, but rather for the factory’s policies to not uphold such an unfair firing. Valjean’s life would not have changed the way it did if an inn had accepted him and he continued living as an ex convict.

Of course, the simplest way to explain this all is to say “the problem is systemic.” But that doesn’t really get the point across, does it?
