REMEMBER WHEN MICHAEL BALL

drink with me genuinely the song of all time. they start off with enjolras being like i still believe! then everyone sings about how much they love their friends. then grantaire is like oh btw all your deaths mean nothing and enjolras your life is a lie. and then marius is like well i'm going to fucking die bc this girl i met 20 minutes ago is moving away. truly encapsulates the range of human emotion in a single scene.

sometimes I'm fine but suddenly I just go: However, this sceptic had one fanaticism. This fanaticism was neither a dogma, nor an idea, nor an art, nor a science; it was a man: Enjolras. Grantaire admired, loved, and venerated Enjolras. To whom did this anarchical scoffer unite himself in this phalanx of absolute minds? To the most absolute. In what manner had Enjolras subjugated him? By his ideas? No. By his character. A phenomenon which is often observable. A sceptic who adheres to a believer is as simple as the law of complementary colors. That which we lack attracts us. No one loves the light like the blind man. The dwarf adores the drum-major. The toad always has his eyes fixed on heaven. Why? In order to watch the bird in its flight. Grantaire, in whom writhed doubt, loved to watch faith soar in Enjolras. He had need of Enjolras. That chaste, healthy, firm, upright, hard, candid nature charmed him, without his being clearly aware of it, and without the idea of explaining it to himself having occurred to him-

"In the first chapter with these guys, two pages are spent on each person, completely describing them. That was like gold for me as an actor. Enjolras' only love was liberty, and he was dedicated to the revolution, but he was a very gentle person. As far as women were concerned, he wasn't like the rest of his girl-crazy compatriots. He was so focused on the ideals of this revolution that anytime a young lady was around, he'd shamefully lower his eyes. Such an eloquent description of him! I literally printed out those two pages of his description of Enjolras and pasted on the front of my script. Every morning I would look it over before we began shooting." —Aaron Tveit

one of my favorite annotations i've done

I never thought I would live past 20 and here I am at 28 years old with no life plan. I always thought I would k*ll myself before I got this old and now I'm like shit. I'm happy I never went though with any of that but still it's just so crazy to me that I'm still here. Like teenage me was like who cares about the future bitch you're not gonna be there so I made no plans at all. There are still days when my stupid brain tries to tell me to end it all but those days are getting less and less so that's good I guess. Anyway long story short I'm alive and have no idea what the do with the rest of my life. Y I K E S.

i still wonder how someone finished reading les mis and thought "hm. this would be a good musical"

if only i could draw, i would have 1 million images of Enjolras surrounding me at all time

Not sure if anyone’s familiar with Teatro Lope de Vega’s production of Les Miserables (Los Miserables) that was in Madrid in 2011. But I cannot recommend it enough. It’s professionally filmed and available on Youtube (it is in Spanish, but like…it’s really good…so)

I’ve been watching it today, and one of the things I adore about it is how their not afraid to let actors touch

Like, they seem so loving. It deepens the relationships so beautifully

Now be on your way, I've had enough of you! Go anywhere you like, but don't come here, I won't let you! You use your knives, I'll use my feet, it's all the same to me. So come on, then!

this is literally enjorlas and grantaire

Now, as we have Les Misérables musical covering the plot, why don’t we have another one, covering all the digressions?
