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. -.-;;;

“Last night during the show our Fantine Montego’s wig came off, and she was offstage trying to get it back on so she missed her cues to come back onstage and sing. So we’re all just sitting in the factory scene, and Les Mis doesn’t stop orchestra wise so the music just kept going and one of our ensemble members just started yelling out her lines, but he couldn’t remember all of them so he motioned to us and we all just started yelling Fantine’s song. And none of our mikes were on because it’s not programmed, and the sound guy didn’t know what to do, so we were all just screaming. There was also an incident one time on tour. All of the factory tables are on tracks, and in the middle of the factory scene something went wrong and all the tables which weren’t supposed to move, just flew off stage as fast as they could. So all the women were just on benches polishing jet stone like they’re supposed to when the tables disappeared, and they all just froze. All the guys turned upstage to look and our Fantine was just standing there in shock, and she couldn’t leave the stage because she has to sing ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ so she had to restrain herself from cracking up on stage. And normally we flip the benches on the table so they can slide offstage, so we had to literally carry the benches off with us. It was a mess. It was really funny but it was a mess. Stuff like that happens at Broadway shows every once in a while.”-@mattrosell Ensemble and u/s for Marius in @lesmizbway
