This cast really has passion, especially David Thaxton, who is everything an Enjolras should be. Including a little bit hot.


I'm afraid I can't agree with you here. Don't get me wrong, I really liked Thaxton, he was wonderful, but no way he was "evertyhing an Enjolras should be".
Actually, I could talk for ages about all the things he does that Enjolras would never do. If you want an Enjolras as "he should be" check Aaron Lazar or Freek Bartells performances.
Thaxton is a huge guilty pleasure, but he isn't very enjolraic, in my opinion.

There was some good sexual tension between him... and just about every other male on the barricade too. He also has good facial expressions, and spends much of his time looking annoyed at Grantaire.


Now, I thought I had a dirty mind, but you're beating me by a long stretch! I swear to God. He was very warm, and very physical, but, sexual tension? Also, when I saw him, he looked annoyed with R during the Red and Black thing, but otherwise, he was veeeery sweet and protective over him...

Earl Carpenter - OH GOSH YES

There is no way to desagree over him, isn't it. He's just fantastic.

It was Matthew Gent playing Marius tonight. He was pretty good. I preferred actual Marius, Jon Robyns though. Which is probably a good thing, really.


Jealous. I love Robyns, but I really would like to see Matthew's Marius. I like a lot his Feuilly.

Errr. Yeah. To cut a long story short, everyone get your arses to London and see it. Cast is awwweeesssome.


Yep. We may disagree on small things, but there's no way to deny that it this is a breathtaking cast.

I see what you're getting at, I just took a really big liking to him.

He does do quite a lot of long slightly annoyed stares though. Some of them are less obvious, when other things are going on.

It is! I am dragging many of my friends to see it.

Sounds like you'll be practically in the middle! Definitely good seats.
