Elin	Brittany/Anna Madgett and ___ ?
convict24601	You're partially right, Elin. guess which one though.
Orestes Fasting	Mademoiselle Lanoire wrote: Were the Restoration regime and Louis XVIII in power in 1832? (I know the answers to two of the other questions but I'll leave that for other people to respond to.) [Marius] raised his eyes, gazed fixedly at his grandfather, and cried in a voice of thunder:-- "Down with the Bourbons, and that great hog of a Louis XVIII.!" Louis XVIII. had been dead for four years; but it was all the same to him.
Sweeney Hyde	I thought it was Louis XVIII...Napoleon III was still more than a decade away...ugh it is too late for me to be thinking about French history. EDIT: Which King was it then actually? I don't recall a Louis XX or a Louis XIX...I say it was a Vallois king!
Quique	What are the names of the theaters at which the show premiered in at the following locations...(no cheating! lol. This info is readily available online). Austria Mexico City Tokyo Stockholm Berlin Argentina Singapore Brazil Shanghai Manchester
Orestes Fasting	Quote: Berlin Theater des Westens
Quique	Which PBS special was basically an infomercial for the CSR? lol.
Orestes Fasting	Orestes Fasting wrote: Double-posting for some French history questions: What government were the students trying to overthrow? [Name the head of state, type of government, and if you really want to be a smartarse, the government it replaced.] What real-life figure were the characters of both Valjean and Javert based on? How did General Lamarque die, and how was the cause of his death related to the concurrent unrest in Paris? And, extra credit: what is the probable date of Cosette's birth? Anyone? Bueller? (Lanoire, if you want to have a go at the other three, it doesn't look like anyone else is taking them.)
Quique	Orestes Fasting wrote: What real-life figure were the characters of both Valjean and Javert based on? They were based on Hugo himself? Ahh. Correction: Valjean was largely based on Hugo himself, right? I think Javert was based on...damn...I know this! I just can't remember now.
Orestes Fasting	Marius was directly based on Hugo, but Valjean wasn't, as far as I know. Hint: His name would rack up an impressive score in Scrabble.
Quique	Sheesh. I need to brush up on my knowledge. Either that or I'm going senile, lol.
Orestes Fasting	Eug�ne Fran�ois Vidocq, convict turned police detective.
Orestes Fasting	Name one actor who has performed in at least six separate productions of Les Mis. (There might be only one; I'm not sure.)
Elin	Name one actor who has performed in at least six separate productions of Les Mis. Michael McCarthy: London UK tour 3NT (San Francisco and Shanghai) Broadway Australia Concert tour 2002 (Scandinavia and Finland) EDIT: Do one-off concerts count? If so: TAC Chelmsford
Elin	Another one: Stig Rossen: London Denmark 1993 Asia/South Africa tour UK tour Concert tour 2002 Denmark 2004

Orestes Fasting	Sweeney Hyde wrote: The revolution of 1832 was against King Louis Phillip right? Yes. Though it's spelled Louis-Philippe if you want to get anal. He was the head of a constitutional monarchy which was put into place after the revolution of 1830 deposed the autocratic Charles X, though Louis-Philippe had far more power than a modern constitutional monarch. Speaking of Louis-Philippe, and revolutions, I bet those pessimistic Turning women got a big fat shock in 1848.

Speaking of Louis-Philippe, and revolutions, I bet those pessimistic Turning women got a big fat shock in 1848. What do you think of Napoleon III, out of curiosity? Also, we were talking about this is my AP European History class the other day, do you think the Revolution of 1848 was an utter failure. Our book says it was, but I debated it saying that it was somewhat successful due to the fact that shortly thereafter a republic was put in place, although they were aiming for democracy, with a strong executive, which Napoleon III was elected to and promplty changed it into an Empire again. Again, what is your take on it.
Orestes Fasting	I don't know as much about 1848 as I should, but I'd think that any revolution that succeeds in setting up a republic, even a really chaotic one, can't be branded an utter failure. And politically speaking, what it set in motion was far more important than the longevity (or functionality, haha) of the government itself. Why does your textbook say it was a failure? Because of how easily Napol�on III seized power?
Orestes Fasting	Quote: How did General Lamarque die, and how was the cause of his death related to the concurrent unrest in Paris? Lamarque was one of the victims of a cholera epidemic in early 1832. The abysmal sanitary conditions in Paris at the time led to the epidemic being particularly widespread among the poor, which, combined with rumors that the government was deliberately poisoning the public wells, contributed to the unrest that sparked the insurrection of June 1832. Quote: And, extra credit: what is the probable date of Cosette's birth? June 18, 1815. Never stated in the text, but alluded to.

Because of how easily Napol�on III seized power? I think that it was speaking of the actual fighting...which didn't go over so well as you know... I also think they were speaking of the fact that they didn't get what they wanted, which was a socialist democracy. What they got was a conservative repbulic. I also wouldn't say that Louis Napoleon "siezed" power. After all he was elected in the first election in France with universal male suffrage. His motives to get elected were obviously twisted. Once I read the part of the book about him, in the next chapter, I will write more...all I know about him really is that he reorganized France into the Second Empire and was captured during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, which was incredibly humiliating for both him and France (this is the war that united the Northern German Confederation with the city states of the South and France lost Alsance and Lorrane to Prussia/German Empire). New Question: What dispute between Austria, and Prussia and Russia (these two were together on this), was settled by a defeated France at the Congress of Vienna. Who was the man that settled the proplem? What was the result? War was likely to erupt again had this issue not been settled.

I'm not sure, but I think I remember reading somewhere that Lea Salonga (for a very short time) covered Cosette...I forget where I saw that

The division of Polish territory between Austria, Prussia, and Russia; the latter two backed a unified Poland under Russian control. Talleyrand negotiated a compromise that kept Poland partitioned but gave large parts of it to Russia. The following lyrics have been translated back into English from a version of Les Mis in another language: I will dress her in lace She will have silk skirts I want my daughter to be the prettiest of all And for her to be proud, to be very proud of me What are the corresponding English lyrics?
Mademoiselle Lanoire	Not sure in the least what translation that would be from, but my guess would be "Come to Me"...

The Mexican production is the only one that translated based on the original French lyrics (all other productions in the world translated based on the English ones). The Mex boot I have has lyrics very close to that. I don't know them by heart but I clearly recall the Mex Cosette singing about getting her doll a dress and wanting her to be proud of her. I LOVE the Mexican lyrics. Truly amazing.
Orestes Fasting	Thread necromancy! Who holds the record for the longest consecutive amount of time spent in Les Mis? (Not necessarily in the same role.) The Bishop who saves Valjean was based off of which real-life figure? Where did the original French lyrics to Drink With Me come from? What was the biggest change made to the show when it moved from the Barbican to the Palace? In the book, Eponine's sister Azelma narrowly escaped being named Gulnare. What name did Eponine narrowly escape having inflicted on her at Hugo's hands?
EponineMNFF	Orestes Fasting wrote: In the book, Eponine's sister Azelma narrowly escaped being named Gulnare. What name did Eponine narrowly escape having inflicted on her at Hugo's hands? LOL! I have no idea what the answer is, but when I first read that I thought you meant she narrowly escaped a character named Gulnare. Me: "Whaaa? I don't remember that...." Haha it took me a few seconds to figure out what you meant.
Eponine93	Orestes Fasting wrote: Where did the original French lyrics to Drink With Me come from? OMG, I actually know that one!!! The French lyrics to "Drink With Me" were based on the poem the students sing at the barricades. Gulnare? The poor kid... that's an awful name. Slightly O/T, but I always loved the names Eponine and Azelma.
flying_pigs	Orestes Fasting wrote: What was the biggest change made to the show when it moved from the Barbican to the Palace? Was that Stars placing being changed? It was originally earlier in the show wasn't it? And from which production is the longest running cast member from?
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast	Quote: Who holds the record for the longest consecutive amount of time spent in Les Mis? Could this be Micheal McKarthy? Who spent from the mid 1990s to only just recently playing mainly Javert but other roles inc. the factory foreman in the 10th Ann. concert? Quote: What was the biggest change made to the show when it moved from the Barbican to the Palace? This biggest change was surely the cuts that reduced the running time?
Orestes Fasting	Quote: Was that Stars placing being changed? It was originally earlier in the show wasn't it? You're thinking of the changes that took place to get the show from London to Broadway. The move from the Barbican to the Palace took place in December 1985, and there was only one major change. So for the first few months that it played in the Palace, Stars was still before Look Down.
Gargamel	Orestes Fasting wrote: The Bishop who saves Valjean was based off of which real-life figure? Mgr Miollis, bishop in Digne, at the St J�r�me cathedral. He took care of Pierre Morin, an ex-prisonner, at his home. Pierre Morin will join the Napoleon troops. He will go to Paris and will end in Waterloo. He is one inspiration for Valjean! Orestes Fasting wrote: Where did the original French lyrics to Drink With Me come from? "Souviens-toi des jours heureux Souviens-toi de nos aveux Lorsqu�en ajoutant ton age � mon age Nous ne comptions pas quarante ans � deux" Translation: "Remember the happy days Remember our confessions When adding your age to my age We couldn�t reach forty years together" We can hear that song at the end of "La Nuit d�angoisse" (just before "Demain", ie "One Day More") I believe that song could be in a complete version in the show, but I could't find any clue of it... Orestes Fasting wrote: In the book, Eponine's sister Azelma narrowly escaped being named Gulnare. What name did Eponine narrowly escape having inflicted on her at Hugo's hands? Are you sure you're talking about Eponine? I can find in the book when it is said that Azelma was supposed to be Gulnare, and also when Cosette's real name is Euphrasie. Cosette being just a nickname. I can't find any reference to Eponine's name!

I knew Hugo based Myriel on Mgr Miollis, but not about Morin. Quote: I believe that song could be in a complete version in the show, but I could't find any clue of it... It's not, alas. Those lyrics only appeared in the 1980 version, since the 1991 lyrics followed the English ones. As another poster said before, they come from the poetry some of the students were reciting at the barricade in the book.

It was, I believe, in Les Mis�res, Hugo's first draft, in which Eponine and Azelma both had different names.

Orestes Fasting	flying_pigs wrote: And from which production is the longest running cast member from? Broadway, AFAIK. I'm actually not 100% sure, since I don't know of any records of the London ensemble members, but I'm pretty sure it's Broadway. If someone has evidence to the contrary, pipe up.
actor	Who raised Cosette as his daughter after Fantine died?
Eponine93	Are you kidding me, Actor? Please tell me you're joking.... that's not trivia...
Orestes Fasting	actor wrote: Who raised Cosette as his daughter after Fantine died? Sirius Black.
EponineMNFF	Hahah I saw that and was like, "FINALLY ONE I KNOW!" *facepalm* I'm actually really curious to find out the other answers...

Could the answer to the first be replacing I Saw Him Once with In My Life? If not, when did they change that? Also, the original names for Eponine and Azelma were Palmyre and Malvina, I believe.

No. I believe that was changed around the time the Broadway production opened. 2. Yes.
AndrewShatterhand	This is probably incorrect but could it be the point in the show at which "Little People" was performed? I know they couldn't figure out where the hell to put it in the show for awhile so it moved around but whether or not that's the biggest change, I don't know...

At least one point during Barbican previews it was done right before Drink With Me.

Only major cut I can think of between the Barbican and the Palace--I think B&S talked about it a little in Les Mis�rables: History in the Making. The rest of the cuts and changes came into effect around the time of the Broadway production. And a new question: give me three reasons Enjolras' name would be tricky to pronounce for anyone who doesn't speak French natively. (I can think of four or five, but three will suffice.) Bonus point if you can render the name into the International Phonetic Alphabet.
herkind	Some people might also have trouble with the vowel at the beginning and the way to pronounce softer than the "j" as in judge. Also, I've taken French since the sixth grade and I didn't know you pronounced the "s" at the end until I heard the Paris cast recording.

Also, I've taken French since the sixth grade and I didn't know you pronounced the "s" at the end until I heard the Paris cast recording. And there's three. I had the vowel at the beginning, the nasal 'n,' the 'j' as in the 'zh' sound of 'treasure,' the French 'r,' and the final 's.' Anyone want to take a stab at the IPA spelling?
Gargamel	Orestes Fasting wrote: Anyone want to take a stab at the IPA spelling? Well... how is it possible to write IPA with ASCII?!
Orestes Fasting	Bump. Name three things that get packed in Valjean and Cosette's suitcase during One Day More. Who was the first actor to perform 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables' in French? During Gavroche's death there are dummies of dead National Guards strewn about the stage. Who are the Broadhurst's dummies named after? Going solely by the projections during the show that give the setting (e.g. Toulon, 1815), in what year does the second act take place? When the cuts to the show were made in early 2001, there was one particularly awful one that was soon discarded. What song did this short-lived version remove entirely?

Orestes Fasting	4 - No. The playbill lists it as 1832, but the projections are less precise.

Orestes Fasting	lesmisloony--Yep. They go 'Montreuil-sur-Mer 1823,' then 'Montfermeil,' then 'Paris, 10 years later.' And they drive me nuts too. the_persion--Indeed. eponine5--Yes. And then Cosette and Marius sang "And we will prove our love..." as a duet. I'm glad they got rid of that one. TVAW is also correct that the Montr�al Marius was the first to perform 'Seul devant ces tables vides,' but surely I can't be the only one to know his name. (Somebody else ask something?

Orestes Fasting	I'm no IPA expert but I'm pretty sure it's: [̃ɑʒolʀas] ...close enough, really. The difference between [ɔ] and [o] is the same as between the vowels in RP 'law' and American 'so.' And the difference between [ɑ] and [a] is rather slight, but I'm pretty sure it's [a]. Definitely not α�, though; I don't think [�] even exists in the IPA.
lesmisloony	Oh. ...points for trying?
Orestes Fasting	Definitely. The IPA's a tricky one, it is.
Orestes Fasting	How many complete recordings of the original version of Les Mis exist, and what are they? How many complete recordings of the cut version of Les Mis exist, and what are they?
The Very Angry Woman	Everyone ignores me.
Orestes Fasting	That's because you know more about Jersey Boys than the rest of us. Clearing up old questions: - Unless anyone has evidence to the contrary, Joseph Kolinski spent the longest consecutive amount of time in Les Mis, moving through various ensemble roles between 1987 and 1996. - Frayne McCarthy was the original Montr�al Marius and the first actor to perform Empty Chairs in French. - After the rue Mond�tour was barricaded on the side of the rue du Cygne, the only escape was through the rue Mond�tour on the side of the rue des Pr�cheurs, which led into a mazelike arrangement of buildings around les Halles. - Combeferre was an intern at the Necker Hospital, which means he had at least four years of medical schooling under his belt. It's also almost certain that he attended the �cole Polytechnique, involving one year of general studies, one year of military service, and one year of specialized study towards a thesis. So seven years in all, and that's at the very least.

Not JP Dougherty?
Orestes Fasting	But was he with the tour consecutively from 1990 to 2002?
Quique	I'm pretty sure he was. God, I started getting so sick of him, lol.
Orestes Fasting	Dayum. In that case, I stand corrected.
Quique	I think J.P. left the tour in 2000. I could be wrong.
The Very Angry Woman	Quique wrote: I'm pretty sure he was. God, I started getting so sick of him, lol. He filled in for Nick Wyman a couple of times, but not for longer than a month, I believe. Does that throw things off? (I hope it doesn't; it keeps me complaining about him.) http://www.broadwaylesmis.com/actors.asp?ID=332

Quique	Completely forgot he was there for the Shanghai engagement. His performances started getting on my nerves around 1996. He mumbled his way through the lyrics, was condescending to the audience, and rude at the stage door.

Quique	lol yes. I guess you could call it that. XD I liked him when I saw the tour in 1992, 1994, 1995, and 1996, but he started phoning it soon after that.
Orestes Fasting	1. What's the lowest female note in the show, who sings it, and when? 2. More reverse translations--give the corresponding English lyrics. a. My story is a dream that begins In the pages of a fairy tale from my childhood... b. Misery is no one's mother It fosters horror in the hearts of men The shadows that cover the earth again But I will stay there to hold you all night c. Do you want our victory to succeed? Are you ready and do you stand with us? Behind the barricade a just and free world beckons d. The glorious day will come where, in his journey towards the ideal, Man will go towards progress from evil to good, from the false to the true A dream may die, but the future can never be buried (Bonus point: Which of these things is not like the others?)

Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see.
