Back in February, the Rue Plumet gate broke on Broadway. Well, it didn't break per se, just completely failed to anchor to where it was supposed to be. It looked a little loose all through In My Life, but it wasn't hugely noticeable until Marius had to climb over it--and it slid three feet to the right, with him still on it. They spent the rest of the scene trying to keep it in place/keep the gate closed without looking like that's what they were doing, and of course the turntable couldn't run without sending the gate flying. So by the end of the scene there was a garden bench on the wrong side of the gate, three stagehands hiding behind it to keep it in place, Celia Keenan-Bolger pushing it shut every thirty seconds, and the turntable in the wrong position for One Day More.

They got it sorted out though. Took an extra-long pause before ODM, wheeled the gate off with much clanking and thumping, got the revolve set right with the trapdoor in front for the Th�nardiers. I just wish I could remember whether they had it fixed by Act II for the Letter scene.

The London casts are infamous for goofing around on the last matinee before a cast change. My favorite 'special' lyrics include "Here's to pretty boys who went to our heads..." and "I have overheard their plans / I will tell what they have in mind / They intend to starve us out / then they'll see what they can find / concentrate their force / take us from behind..."

Last spring I was in our school's student version of Les Mis....needless to say we had some very funny moments (most of which only the cast saw).

Opening night one of the prison guards (female) actaully kicked one of the prisoner (they were supposed to mime the actions not really hit/kick them)

All but one of the lead men were gay which lead to some interesting problems. Marius didn't want to kiss Cosette. Enjolras and Grantaire ended up dead ontop of each other one night. A gay salior tried to feel me up during Lovely Ladies.

Maruis died in the wrong scene one night. Died during First Attack but got back up once I hissed at him from the wing that it was the wrong scene.

I was nearly knocked out by the Red flag during Do You Hear the People Sing, because I got to carry out the chair Grantaire stood on and one night he pulled it too far forward and almost took me out while he spun the flag.

Marius almost didn't clear the garden wall on night.

Marius forgot a verse during Empty Chairs so he made up his own verse.

Marius was 6ft 4. Valjean was about 5ft 6. Javert was 5ft 2.

Enjolras and the students came on and started singing before the curtain opened for the second act.

Madame Thernardier actually broke a bottle on stage and glass fell into the pit.

The pit director liked to curse over the headset. (My best friend was stage manager so I could hear the director over her headset)

Gavroche almost fell off the barricade after she died (yes we had a female Gavroche but she played the role as a boy) before the students could drag her over the top

Many more that I'll add to as I remember them.

There's a bootleg video of the 1999 London cast in which right as JOJ is entering in the finale during "Alone I wait in the shadows" you can hear sirens in the background. I seriously giggled through the rest of the scene after that.

That's pretty hilarious.
lesmisloony

Several years ago I stumbled across a website that had a huge list of reportedly true LM bloopers. The site has since disappeared, but I remember a few of them:

Javert's bridge forgot to come down, so he reached that moment in the song and simply mimed stabbing himself and fell over.

Thenardier: "Two percent for sleeping with the mirror twice."

Javert: "Listen my friends, I have done as I said, I have been to their homes, I have watered their plants, I will tell what I can." (Not sure I believe this one.)

Marius got off the beat in the final scene and ended up saying to Valjean, "FOOL! You must forgive a thankless man!"

I've been told that once in NYC Colm went out during intermission (?) and got locked out of the theatre, but his mic was on and everyone heard him swearing.

That's... all I remember.
Orestes Fasting

Somewhere or another, there's a great page with German cast bloopers. Most of the lyric flubs make no sense in English--except the classic Gavroche bursting into the cafe and shouting "Karl Marx is dead!"--but there was also an English list of more, uh, physical bloopers. Like the time Javert's costume got caught on the bridge and he almost went up instead of down.
Fantine

I love those. Poor Javert seems to be having a rough time now and then, doesn't he?

"Listen my friends, I have done as I said, I have been to their homes, I have watered their plants, I will tell what I can."

I'm putting that in my signature. It's awesome.

Do you still have the URL? Archive.org may have it.
marlyly

Not that funny, but when I saw it in the West End back in 2004-ish, the vines on the gate of Rue Plummet fell off during the whole Cosette/Marius/Eponine scene, and one of them (not sure but I think it was Eponine) kept trying to put it back slyly without the audience realising.

Sadly, no. All I remember is that the background was blue with clouds and it may have been very Javert-centric. I was once a Javert fan.

There was also a list of LM bumper stickers, including "My gamin could beat up your convent student" and "I brake for falling/suicidal inspectors."

As I type this post I'm searching google for hints as to what that mysterious site might have been, and I actually found an article that backs up the Javert "I have been to their homes / I have watered their plants" flub: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:b0vemVkNMsEJ:www.bmi.com/brochures/theatre/Newsletter1001.pdf+%22I+have+been+to+their+homes%22+%22I+have+watered+their+plants%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

It's about halfway down the page under the heading "A Funny Thing Happened..."

[Fifteen minutes later] Okay, I surrender the search.
EponineMNFF

Ooh I saw a lot of those German ones. They gave me such a good laugh.

It also mentioned that nine times out of ten, Gavroche doesn't realize that he's throwing the bag of bullets with the arm that's just been shot. Since I read that, I kept an eye out every time I saw the show, and the Gavroches do sometimes forget that they've just been shot. Haha.

I also heard about a lot of forks flying into the orchestra pit during Master of the House. I think this was also on the German site, but it mentioned a few times when Thenardier actually hit Eponine and Marius actually hit Thenardier by accident. So amusing... I wish I could find those again.

The Broadway Gavroches solve that by getting shot in the leg. Laughing
Fantine

I never noticed that they actually get shot in an arm or leg. Or any other specific place.
lesmisloony

I first saw the show in sixth grade, and I was struck by the tragedy of Gavroche (I was a kid, I didn't know any better). Turned out that in the production I saw, and I didn't realize this was a mistake, when the kid threw the bullet bag to the barricade boys, Enj missed it and it fell down the front of the barricade, bouncing off of things with a very metallic noise. My reaction was, "Poor baby died and didn't even manage to get them bullets!" Every time I've seen the show since, they've caught the bullet bag. Oh.

Also just remembered... I was listening to Sirius77 and Seth Rudetsky was interviewing Andrea McArdle after her stint in LM (Gawd, can you imagine?) and I seem to remember she told a story about keeping M&M's in her pocket (why would you DO that?) and they started sprinkling out all over the stage during her death scene. (...)
Orestes Fasting

Gavroche does occasionally make a bad throw and the barricade boy who's there to catch the bag has no hope of getting it. Less common but still normal.

And... oh dear. Don't M&Ms get melty from body heat? I can imagine the costume people pitching a fit over that.
EponineMNFF

OH! I've heard that story!

She used to keep M&Ms in her pocket when she was playing Bullet Boy so that when she died on the barricade she'd have something to do (because we all know eating M&Ms is more entertaining than staying still for like two minutes). But one night, I guess she didn't tuck them in her pocket far enough and they fell out and scattered all over the stage.

Laughing
Pannic

When my school did it, I heard one time during previews, during "Master of the House," when our Thenardier (a somewhat heavyset guy) stood up on the chair at the end, it broke.
Orestes Fasting

Last night the chair didn't quite break right during Confrontation. I'm not sure if it didn't come completely apart or if it broke in places it wasn't supposed to, or both, but JOJ ended up clutching a piece of it that was still connected to another piece by string or wire or whatever it is that holds the chair together. Nunchuck Valjean!

I didn't witness this myself, just heard the story afterwards, but apparently a month or two ago Zach Rand had a bit of an accident during Gavroche's death... I believe his foot got stuck in the barricade and he fell, and had a hard time extricating himself to do the scene. He wasn't hurt, but he scared everyone half to death.

Zach also missed his entrance in ABC Caf� once... and of course the "In Saint-Antoine they're with us to a man" section has been cut, so they didn't have that as a safety. So after "Give me brandy on my breath and I'll breathe them all to death," dead silence. The barricade boys stand around trying to look conspirational and revolutionary. One of them says under his breath, "Sooo, what are we going to do now?" And finally Zach bursts in gasping to tell them that General Lamarque is dead.

Speaking of missed entrances, Gary Beach also failed to show up at the inn scene before Master of the House once, leaving the ensemble to ad-lib... "Landlord over here... where's the wretched man?" "God, this place really has gone to hell!" "Where the hell's the landlord?"
happyguava

Our Valjean completely forgot to go onstage during Fantine's death. We were all sitting in the green room drinking water and watching the show on the little TV and someone casually went "aren't you meant to be onstage now?". Watching him bolt out of the room and appear on the TV screen huffing and puffing and pretending nothing was wrong was one of the funniest things I've seen.

DontDoSadnessxx

oh yay funny stories from my productions.

One of the nights of rehearsal our (amazing) eponine came off stage after a little fall of rain and said " awww i died" and she continued to say it every night after. Then on the last night of reh. the mic guy didnt turn off her mic so she said it and you heard it in the last row. it was great.

And the other was during the wedding scene, I was waltzing with this guy I had a huge crush on. my dress had been having problems before that but when we were dancing my Dress ripped open in the back and so he had to reposition is hand to hold it up on my back and while he was doing that... the tail of his tux got caught on the set piece. So we danced in place and kept character very well until i was able to get his tux jacket loose. it was quite fun.

Once in a production in europe, the understudy JVJ went on. He was nervous as hell and in the soliloquy his face went blank and it went down like this: (in swedish) "as I stare into the void, as I stare into the void, as I stare into the void, as I stare into the void, as I st..JEAN VALJEAN IS NOTHING NOW, ANOTHER STORY MUST BEGIN!!!"

And in the same performance as JVJ dies (in this production Marius closes JVJ�s eyes after he dies) The guy "died" with his eyes closed...then opened them again and marius closed them.
lesmisloony

Well... this isn't super-exciting, but there was mic trouble in act one on Friday. And during one number (Soliloquy, I think) the scrim went down too fast, slammed into stage, and then went partway back up and slllloooowwly edged back down to the proper stopping-place.
lckysvn777

At the final show on Sunday one of the bullet/barricade boys must have had a hole in their pocket because there was coins falling out in random places.

That's an amusing collection! Laughing I especially like the "here's to pretty boys..." blooper. Very Happy Very classic indeed.
EponineMNFF

Hahah those poor, poor Enjolrases.

That is a really hard note to hit--I never realized that before.

The Confrontation stuff is funny but a bit odd. It's just funny because practically the entire fandom knows the lyrics to both parts.

Either Victor Wallace messes up alot, or I was at that recorded performance.

Boston, February 25. He never cracked in the eight or nine times I saw him--in fact, I thought he was amazing--but there's a story about him cracking on that note (at a different performance) because he got distracted when he jumped up on the table and the seam of his pants burst. Laughing
mastachen

Then yeah he messes up a lot.

It's a funny story, looking back on t. His voice cracked at that part, and there was total silence. The students didn't cheer or anything like they were supposed to, and there was silence for like 3 seconds, and then my dad bursts out laughing. At the time, I was pretty embarrassed. Now I'm just amused.
EponineMNFF

Awww poor Victor Wallace. I only saw him twice, but he never messed up. Though he might have and I just blocked it from my memory.

My friend and I are only slightly obsessed with him.

Was it just me or were his pants MUCH tighter than most of the actors for Enjolras?
lesmisloony

I will never, ever stop laughing at the ~HUNGARIAN~ Valjean. Ever.
Orestes Fasting

I could swear that Victor Wallace and Aaron Lazar had the same pants. Laughing In any case their pants were both much more, um, nicely tailored than any of the other actors I've seen in the role.

And even after hearing the clip with the crack of doom, I love Victor's Enjolras. He has a wonderful voice (when it's working right, haha), loads of charisma, and yes, very nice legs.
eponine5

I've tried re-listening to the Hungarian mess-up about five times, and I haven't yet managed to hear it properly over my own laughing! It felt as if my throat was closing up!

I'm not sure if anyone's posted this before: In the 21st Anniversary performance everything went perfectly...until Hans Peter Janssens finished his final song with "there is no-where I can turn, there is no-where I can gooooooooooo!"
Applause
Funny how the only time I've seen him mess up was on the big, dramatic sustained note, in front of the original cast and Trevor Nunn.
Electricity24601

oh. my. goodness. I just laughed myself silly. That was amazing
Somewhere

Speaking of bloopers, I have an audio of Turning from Powderham Castle where they say the incorrect lyric twice:

"Who will wake them?"
"Nothing ever will."

"Did you see them lying side by side? Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried."

There was a very small fire in a room beneath the theatre (a friend was at that show and I think it was in the kitchen, maybe?), so they evacuated.

Honey, that's not a blooper, it was like that every night. Very Happy

And since there was apparently some confusion about Lea's ad-libbed swearing, I might as well add that the "special" part of the fourth one is that you can distinctly hear Alex (Valjean) hiss "you son of a bitch" at Drew (Javert).
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast

LOL...it is that "version" of the Confrontation that gives even the most amature of all performers hope...

Well, it was the first preview, coming on the heels of a very short rehearsal period. Laughing Still hilariously bad though--I love how Norm throws in an "Every man is born in sin!" at the last minute.

I like how professional little cosette is too. AND how she keeps going despite all the disruption...god bless those professional little actresses.
i also like the shockingly bad MOTH...i mean was he not even on-stage?

EDIT: AND whats with all the filth in the mouths of the revival actors?!
Orestes Fasting

Yeah, that little Cosette has nerves of steel enough to make Hannah Chick and her popping balloon look wimpy. Laughing

If you read back through the thread you'll find explanations for a lot of these--I believe I already told the story of Gary Beach and Zach Rand completely missing their entrances.
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast

I like to think that's what that girl thinks when she watches the TAC. "Balloon Pop? Is that all you got?!"
EponineMNFF

I love how Zach Rand insists on saying "Listen"/"Listen everybody" all three times even though it's completely silent.

Hahaha. It's just so awkward. Poor thing.
Orestes Fasting

I think at the first "Listen" he hadn't quite cleared the barricade/caf� set, so the pause is him scrambling into position. But it was back in April so I don't quite remember.

I have to wonder if there was just something really fascinating backstage that weekend, because Gary's missed entrance in Master of the House was literally the day before that.
OldDeuteronomy

would tampering w/ John Cameron's MAGNIFICENT Orchestrations qualify as a disaster or a mistake? the Orchestrations used in the Broadway revival SUCK!
lesmisloony

^^Agreed.

Though my biggest complaints were the utter lack of magnificence in the opening notes and a loss of the strings part of Soliloquy. Because the opening notes crashing through a theatre sends me into a quiet little tizzy of joy, and to not have them is borderline... anticlimactic. And, even on the third viewing of the revival, the lack of strings in those two songs, replacing by "whomp whomp whomp... whomp whomp whomp" made me fidget.

ha, ha, some of these are really hilarious, I've listened to it on repeat 3 times now, poor enjolrases, scarier valjean ever, worst confrontation on earth, etc. Oh, and the "pretty boys" is pure slashy genius (I would love to catch one of these last performances in london) but what really cracked me was the other boy. you can tell he was completely surprided with his "witty--errr- pretty... what the hell do I say now?).
Also, maybe I am completely dense but I did not catch the one with Rob Archibald and the bishop. Some help?

I've never seen a blooper on stage, but once, the barricade broke down just after the barricade boys death. It turned out to be a good thing though since they gave us new tickets for another day and we were able to see it again for free Smile
Orestes Fasting

The line is supposed to be "You were the honest Bishop's guest." I don't think he's supposed to call Valjean "the Bishop's honest guest" in the middle of accusing him of theft!

And John Owen-Jones has tweeted "I've worked with half of them" Laughing
I've been reading the tweets between those four for a while now

I never get tired of listening to that blooper reel. I think it took about five replays before I actually heard the Hungarian Valjean's complete 'note', I was laughing so much.
Does anyone think a couple accents or note-changes from the recent London cast-change matinee would fit nicely in the reel?

That is so awsome! I love Caine's bio: Musical Theatre Relic and operatic soprano with unicycling skills. Laughing
