BowsDoes anyone know the order of curtain call for Les Miserables?
|
The Very Angry Woman
|
It can vary between productions (and certainly for LMSEs), but this is how the US tour did it:
Robbers
Female ensemble (with the little girls if at a matinee)
Students
Enjolras and Gavroche
Marius and Cosette
Th�nardiers
Fantine and Eponine
Javert
Valjean

That is the exact order that I would have said, but The Very Angry Woman got there before me! 
|
Fantine
|
Why are Marius and Cosette before the Thenardiers and Eponine and Fantine? I'd say that they are more important...

Because the musical is a dirty Cosette-hating, Eponine-loving travesty?

It's a sad truth that Cosette actually does less in the musical than Thenardier. She also gives less of an impact than Thenardier to the people who haven't seen the musical before and don't know the story. I've seen the musical with several of my friends who've never seen it before and none of them cared much about Cosette once she had grown up.

Don't be sad. People just like the Thenardiers because they're the comic relief. And in the high school version, Cosette has a bigger part. It's Fantine who really gets ripped off in the high school version because a lot of her lines are cut out and it's impossible to tell that she became a prostitute or died (unless you're familiar with the story).

Most high schools I saw must have put the lines back in then, because I didn't find that much of Fantine's part to be cut. Obviously some was, the locket and such, but she still dies in the school edition.

Well, in my production, I played Enjolras and bowed with Eponine. For no particular reason other than we were the two left over once all the bows were sorted; Marius and Cosette, the Thenardiers, Fantine, Javert and Valjean solo...
So I just assumed that they wanted to lump together the two supporting roles that won the Tony awards

Never liked Gavorche bowing with Enjorlas. It kind of makes him seem less of a powerful figure when he shares a bow with a 3 foot tall little shrimp.
