Les Misérables - London, 1995/96

Signed souvenir brochure from Peter Karrie as Jean Valjean at the Palace Theatre, London, 1996.

TBH my dream cast would have been to see him in the late 80s, when he played opposite Philip Quast's Javert. But I got to see Quast at the 10th anniversary concert, and Michael McCarthy was also an excellent Javert. Peter was a fantastically powerful Valjean, vocally, emotionally and physically - the latter especially when he had to carry Mario Frangoulis across the stage in his arms, who's about 6 ft tall!

Parts of the souvenir brochure for the Royal Albert Hall 10th anniversary concert (plus the flag). It was an indescribable experience so I won't try to describe being there in person, except it's the only time I've been to the theatre where most of the men were wearing tuxedos, which made the atmosphere even better.

some of my favorite moments from the 1995 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables bc it's BARRICADE DAY and thus tis the season:

the convicts during Look Down all being Valjeans from different countries

the bishop M is baby faced and has an angelic voice

the clips from the fully staged show that they insert whenever there is too long of an instrumental/to explain things

colm wilkinson and philip quast's confrontation makes me want to chew on my laptop screen. so good. so crisp

baby cosette gets spooked by a balloon popping during castle on a cloud but barely flinches and keeps singing

the entire cast in the background of master of the house bopping back and forth in time. they are so here for it and it's amazing

philip quast's stars. he's so fucking good. i'm insane about him

michael maguire as enjolras's little happy dance when gavroche tells them that lamarque is dead

michael ball as marius somehow gives himself literally heart eyes whenever he talks about cosette. i can see them. it's so funny

during a heart full of love, colm wilkinson and philip quast are so invested in the background. they're leaning over to whisper to each other. they are besties

lea salonga as eponine delivers "i know this house i tell you, there's nothing here for you. just the old man and the girl, they live ordinary lives" like a GODDESS she is EVERYTHING

michael ball surreptitiously wiping his sweat on lea salonga's hair during her death scene. mans is dying a little

drink with me features anthony crivello as a fucking stellar grantaire, and after his verse, enj comes over and puts his hand on his shoulder to comfort him for a very long time. complete with a lingering touch on the arm and everything. fantastic exr crumbs 👍

the clips from the full show of the final battle are hilarious. completely different cast (though only obvious to insane people like us.)

highlights include one of les amis right on the middle of the barricade doing like. a backwards worm he's so into his death throes. he always has me losing my shit

empty chairs at empty tables includes the fucking cruel choice to have the entire les amis cast of actors line up on each side of michael ball and just a step behind so that they're in shadows, all staring sadly at him for the whole song. gives the impression of all the ghosts of marius's dead friends looking on from the afterlife and demanding answers. heart wrenching. THIS IS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A CONCERT, WHY ARE U DOING STAGING LIKE THIS

beggars at the feast has everyone in the background clapping/tapping along again. love seeing the thenardiers get their due appreciation

the 17 valjeans from other international productions enter after the finale and they all have their gavroches holding their country flags it's so fucking cute

and of course final encore with all the additional valjeans and the whole cast is fucking ACES

ANYWAY if ur looking for a production to watch that is good af this is the top of my list even though it isn't fully staged. it's sooooo. it's some good fucking food. happy barricade day!!

i find the lines “my soul belongs to god, i know” from who am i and then “he knows his way in the dark, mine is the way of the lord” from stars a very interesting contrast between valjean and javert. we often think of javert as following the laws strictly and apathetically, but he thinks he’s doing god’s work, not dissimilar from valjean doing everything he does in the name of god, but he does it with so much love instead.

it literally starts with valjean breaking the law for love (stealing bread for his family) and javert letting him go (purposefully) for the first time (his yellow ticket of leave) but telling valjean that he (the law) will always be looking over his shoulder.

and then we get the end that javert lets valjean go purposefully because of a break in his moral code. i’ve always thought that javert’s suicide feels like he thinks he’s going to hell (“the stars are black and cold”) and maybe he really does think that because he thought that he was doing the lord’s work by upholding the law and now he’s let a wanted man go, so is he damned? which brings us back to who am i, with valjean asking “if i stay silent, i am damned”. javert is literally staying silent, so he is damned in his mind
