I don’t know about the West End, but over here, our Grantaires take their relationship with Gavroche very seriously. So here is a compilation of some Grantaire’s screaming in agony when Gavroche is killed 😀
Joe Spieldenner, 4th National Tour (this is THE scream of agony. The official one)
John Rapson, Broadway (This was early in his run, where he actually said “OH GOD NO”. Very memorable.)
John Rapson, Broadway (Later in his run, where it’s just a scream)
Adam Monley, Broadway understudy
Dennis Moench, Broadway understudy
Eric Van Tielen, Tour understudy (dat whimper doe)
Joe Spieldenner, North Shore Music Theatre (just… wait it out. The whole thing. It’s worth it)
To give you an idea about what really happened in the last audio
Drink With Me; Mark Uhre (Enjolras), Matt McMahan (Feuilly), Matt Rosell (Jean Prouvaire), Alan Shaw (Joly), John Rapson (Grantaire), Perry Sherman (Marius); LM Toronto, 11/7/2013
…please ignore the sniffling throughout the back half of this song. After Grantaire shook off Enjolras, Gavroche went over and comforted him and Grantaire was clutching at him for the entire rest of the song, as though Gavroche were the only stable ground left in a world made of quicksand. Grantaire was so childlike in his disappointment and fear and Gavroche was so old before his time in the way that he was the one providing comfort and it was beautiful and it killed me. -.-;;;
