And rain
will make the flowers…
will make the flowers grow ~
I Watched a Les Mis Parody at my Local Theatre and Now I Can’t Stop Guffawing
Highlights
- Javert and Valjean have a telepathic connection
- Victor Hugo, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Cameron Macintosh (in a kilt) all make an appearance
- Terrible french accents
- Valjean rescues Fantine from the cart
- Javert thinking that nobody will be able to recognize him in his ‘generic blue face-mask’
- Little Cosette = grown ass woman
- Les Amis threatens to burn Javert at the stake
- Jean Valjean dies by firing squad (A.K.A a nerf gun to the chest)
- Lots of LDS jokes
- Flamboyantly gay Javert referencing 'don’t ask don’t tell’ at the barricades
- Valjean knocks Gavroche out with chloroform
- Javert yelling “I’ll get you my pretty, and your little Cosette too!” before leaping into the sewer
- Valjean sings the Forbidden Broadway parody “Bring it Down”
- The Phantom of the Opera makes a brief appearance
- Valjean ultimately pushes Javert to his death
- Fancy hat contest between Cosette, Eponine and Fantine’s ghost (with garden gnomes)
- Bishop Myriel: “You can kiss a nun, just don’t get in the habit!”
- Javert waving his cheeks in your general direction
Overall, probably worth the $30 ticket
A peak at the new fully staged production!

The girls at the beach
[ID: A fanart of Musichetta, Éponine and Cosette from Les Misérables in a Modern AU. They’re at a beach at sunset, sitting in a felled tree trunk, bathed in orange and yellow light. Musichetta, at the far left, is wearing a mint green dress with the sleeves rolled up to her elbow, and has her eyes closed, smiling softly. She is also wearing two wedding rings on her left ring-finger, one silver and one gold, stacked one on top of the other. Éponine, at the center and slightly back, is wearing an open black dress and staring straight at the viewer. She has long golden earrings as well as piercings on her ears and nose. Cosette, at the right, is wearing a pair of large, gold round glasses and a neon-pink top and high-wasted blue maxi-skirt, with her face turned straight ahead, but glancing to the left. She has an engagement ring on the ring-finger of her left hand and a friendship bracelet on her right wrist. All three of them are wearing broad brimmed straw sun-hats. End ID]
The girls at the beach
The #girls to celebrate the end of the year!
[ID: A head-to-shoulder fanart of Musichetta, Éponine and Cosette in a Modern AU. They’re posing as if they were taking a selfie inside a car, with the image a bit tilted to the left. All of them are covered in face paint and bits and pieces of glitter, with bright lipstick, making funny faces at the camera. Musichetta, on the top-left corner, is wearing a flower-patterned scarf on her head and giving Éponine, in front, bunny ears with her fingers. Cosette, on the top-right corner, wearing a check-patterned hat, has her eyes closed while making the ‘okay’ sign around her left eye. End ID]
rain will make the flowers grow
Novels could be written about the my bb feels when Eponine sings “I don’t want your money sir”
The confrontation scene in Les Miserables: Shoujo Cosette between Cosette and Eponine? Wow. Amazing. Marius didn’t even come up. I loved it.
