It depends what difference you're looking for. I can see grounds for picking any of the four. |

| Orestes Fasting |
Nope.
Yes.  The catch, of course, is that that's not the lyric used in DYHTPS, so that "somewhere" is important.
Edit:
I was thinking of the language of origin. |

I'm thinking Eponine in ALFOR ("I don't feel any pain...") or Fantine in the finale ("and you will be with God...") |
||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
The second one is correct; "And you will be with God" goes to a low D. |

a. On my own / Pretending he's beside me All alone / I walk with him till morning b. ohno, hold on a second... I know it's from Fantine's Death, but now I have to go over the English one in my head... it's the second verse, just before Jean comes in... (WHY do I know this song better in French than in English?) OKAY. Hurry near, another day is dying Don't you hear the winter wind is crying There's a darkness that comes without a warning But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning... I like these questions a lot. |

Is that the same note that Fantine sings right before "Come to Me?" |
||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Nope, Come to Me is in a different key so she only has to go down to A flat there.

Love that FB.
Ooh! Ooh! One of the Gavrii got cast in Little Mermaid as Flounder! So they had to replace him! I learned that from you. 
|
||||||||||||
| herkind |
And Michael Minarik (Grantaire) got replaced by Don Brewer. Not sure why though. | ||||||||||||
| The Very Angry Woman |
Minarik injured his back. |
||||||||||||
| Kragey |
I never knew that! It's amazing what a forum can teach you. |
||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Pretty much, yeah. Brian D'Addario got cast as Flounder, so they brought back Sean Gilbert from the tour to do matinees only.
The ensemble shuffling was a bit more complicated than that: Minarik couldn't come back after the strike due to his back injury, so they had the swings (Matt Clemens and Stephen Trafton) rotate as Grantaire for a while. Since that couldn't continue indefinitely, they moved Don Brewer from Courfeyrac to Grantaire, made Trafton Courfeyrac, and made Jeremy Hays--formerly a vacation swing--a full-time swing to replace Trafton. And just to be confusing, Trafton stayed in the Grantaire ensemble track (innkeeper in the prologue, drunk in Master of the House, etc) and Don stayed in the Courfeyrac ensemble track; they just switched tracks for the student scenes. |

Orestes, would you happen to know all of the ensemble tracks? The only one I know is Grantaire's. | ||||||||||||

I know the Broadway revival ones pretty well, but they're different from the tour ones (which TVAW probably knows better than I do). Which one(s) are you interested in? I'm not bored enough to list all of them.
|
||||||||||||
| The Very Angry Woman |
From what I remember, the 3NT's wasn't too different from the Broadway revival's, other than Combeferre not being the foreman. I think the Bishop's might've been different, too. |
||||||||||||
| Kragey |
Oh, don't worry about it, then. I didn't want to be a pain, I was just curious. | ||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Actually they were very different... I just dug out an old 3NT playbill, which has a much more complete listing of ensemble roles than the revival ones did, and very few of them were the same. Prologue Farmer: Courfeyrac (3nt), Prouvaire (revival) Prologue Labourer: Montparnasse (both) Bishop: Lesgles (tour), Claquesous (revival) Constables: Claquesous, Babet (3nt); Babet, Lesgles (revival) Foreman: Combeferre (3nt); Courfeyrac, then later Brujon (revival) LL sailors: Feuilly, Brujon, Joly (3nt); Courfeyrac, Lesgles, Joly (revival) LL pimp: Claquesous (3nt), Montparnasse (revival) Bamatabois: Grantaire (3nt), Combeferre (revival) Fauchelevent: Claquesous (3nt), Babet (revival) Champmathieu: Lesgles (3nt), Brujon (revival) MotH drunk: Prouvaire (3nt), Grantaire (revival) MotH travellers: Combeferre, Babet (3nt); Combeferre, Brujon (revival) Corpse in Dog Eats Dog*: Joly (3nt), Combeferre (revival) Major Domo: Joly (both) * Not listed in the playbill, but Charlie Hagerty had very distinctive hair, haha. It took me a long time to realize it was Dan in the revival, though. |

I know hardly any trivia from the revival, so it's nice to read a lot of your contributions. I'm nowhere nearly as insane as I was back in the 90's. I used to follow every little thing closely. Now it's more a nostalgia piece to me. I get a mushy inside when I see it or listen to it and I get all depressed knowing I probably won't get to see the version I'm so accustomed to again. Well, unless I go to London or Japan, which I'm actually considering.

I saw it in London back in summer '05 but I don't remember much of it. I know I enjoyed it but the only things I can remember are stupid nit-picky things, like Cornell John's awful wig or JOJ's mumbly pronunciation or being able to see over the barricade from my seat--not just to where the dead students were getting up and walking away, but to the point where I could see the bulbs of the lights that flash during the final battle, which ruined the effect.

Sorry for reviving an old question, but that can't be right. Cosette can't have been born in 1815, because Fantine was still pregnant with her in 1817! (Clearly stated in the book.) And where are you getting June 18, anyway? |
||||||||||||
| lesmisloony |
Um, I don't know where they got the date either (and would love to, by the way...) but I'm pretty positive Fantine had already had the child when Felix left.
"It was her first love affair, as we have said; she had given herself to this Tholomyes as to a husband, and the poor girl had a child." And further, a deleted scene from the Book (as translated by our own wonderful Orestes) clearly states that Cosette recognised Tholomyes as her father. http://seditious.frenchboys.net/brouable.html |
||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
In addition to the quote Loony gave above, check out the chapter where Fantine gives Cosette to the Th�nardiers: it's clearly stated as being ten months after the "joke," making it early June of 1818. Fantine tells La Th�nardier that her daughter is going on three years, putting her birthday in June 1815. As for the particular date, one assumes that, with the way the novel is practically structured around Napoleon, and the entire first book of the Cosette volume being devoted to a digression on Waterloo, Cosette's June birthday is no coincidence, and that she was born on the very date of the battle of Waterloo. |
||||||||||||
| rcs |
I never interpreted it that way. Book Three ends (depending on the translation) "She had given herself to Tholomyes as to a husband, and the poor girl had his child." I always took that to mean that Fantine was still pregnant with Cosette at the time Tholomyes left her (with "had his child" being a euphemism for pregnancy). I could be wrong about that, but it certainly didn't seem, from the way Book Three was written, that their child was already two years old. But on a reread, I realize you were right about that. I just never interpreted it that way before. | ||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Also consider that, had Fantine been with child (as opposed to already having a child) in 1817, that would have made Cosette thirteen or barely fourteen when the 21-year-old Marius fell in love with her. Even in the 1830s that was a liiittle too skeevy to be an idealized romance.
Interestingly, Hugo drops a few oblique hints that Cosette and Eponine are almost exactly the same age, but seems to have screwed up his timeline: when Eponine finds Marius in April of 1832 to tell him she's found Cosette's address, she tells him she was lucky to get out of jail early because there are only two months left before they can try her as an adult. But given that the age of majority was eighteen, that would put her birthday in June 1814. I'm inclined to think this was a mistake on Hugo's part, since La Th�nardier tells Fantine that "her oldest" is the same age as Cosette. |
||||||||||||
| lesmisloony |
Orestes... I love you.
I've always been a little fuzzy on some of those timelines. Here's one you can hopefully explain for me: When/why did Marius's mother die? It said she was about thirty, I know... Somehow I always assumed she died in childbirth... no? Because at Waterloo, in 1815 (duh), Napoleon makes Georges a baron and he says, "For my widow, I thank you!" But Marius was 17 in 1827... ish... so he must have been born in 1810, thus he was five during Waterloo. So Mama Pontmercy was still alive at this point? Marius lived with her until he was at least five? Because he was seen with his grandfather around the age of seven... *befuddled* On another note entirely...
The French is "la pauvre fille avait un enfant," which is exactly, "the poor girl had his child"... but I don't see how "had" would be a euphemism... maybe, like, "was carrying" or "would have" his child, y'know? However, I do agree that it's a shock that Cosette was already two at this point. D'you think the other three couples knew about her? |
||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
It says in the chapter "One of the Red Spectres of That Epoch" that Mme Pontmercy died in 1815, presumably after her husband was already on half-pay at Vernon. So yes, Marius was raised by his parents until he was five, then taken to M. Gillenormand's after his mother died.
I think the issue with that sentence regarding Fantine is a translation problem: since it's a narrative, it's natural to read it as "she had given herself to Tholomy�s as to a husband, and [then] the poor girl had [bore] a child." But in this context, the French word "to have" implies merely "to have in her possession," not "to bear." In English you can say "she had a baby" to mean "she gave birth to a baby," but in French you'd have to use donner (naissance) or porter. |
||||||||||||
| rcs |
That translation problem seems to have even fooled the people who prepared the Les Miserables SparkNotes. At the end of their summary of Book Three, they say "she is pregnant with Tholomyes's child." http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/lesmis/section2.rhtml Not only that, on their character list, they say "Tholomyes is Cosette's biological father, although the two never meet." http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/lesmis/characters.html Of course they would have met, if Tholomyes didn't abandon Fantine until Cosette was two years old. Just goes to show I wasn't the only one fooled (although that's probably why I interpreted that passage that way in the first place). |
||||||||||||
| Fantine |
In the Dutch translation it is stated that Fantine had a child at the point that Tholomyes left. So yes, Cosette was already born when Tholomyes left them (bastard. I wonder how he treated his little baby girl. It does surprise me that nothing of that is described in the novel. It is as if Cosette did not even exist). | ||||||||||||
| Kragey |
My translation expressly reads that Cosette was already born, so they were obviously trying to clear up errors like that. I never thought that other versions might have a direct translation, though. | ||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Since we're talking about translations, here's another question:
What's the next line? |
||||||||||||
| lesmisloony |
"Let me stay here." ? Something like that. Right?
ETA: "Let me sleep here." I checked. Does that count as cheating? |
||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Wrong. Most (all?) of the English translations omit a line at that point. | ||||||||||||
| lesmisloony |
D'oh!
Wait, my French LM says the same thing. I think. (Excuse the lack of accents. I don't know how to make them outside of MSWord, and don't feel like bothering with them right now...)
Not that I doubt you, of course... but I suppose you have a resource I don't (and know very well that you do). Nice siggy, by the way.
Well, hope someone guesses it, cos I'm itching to know now... |

| Orestes Fasting |
From Wikisource:
Or, in English: "You know I believe in you." "Go away." "Let me sleep here." New question, then: In 1985, the Arkansas Supreme Court published a joke opinion for April Fool's Day in which an undercover cop named Les Javert identified two twin brothers as the man who tried to sell him cocaine, and the judge was forced to uphold both convictions because the officer was positive he recognized the man. What was the name of the case? |

I had to look it up on the Internet, but it was Catt v. Arkansas. The funniest part of all of this was that in 1996 the Delaware Supreme court handed down a real opinion that cited the Catt v. Arkansas case as part of its argument, not realizing that the case had been a joke. |

Correct! I got that little piece of trivia from issue #8 of "The Barricade."
Really? I did not know that. |
||||||||||||
| Quique |
What exactly is the official color of Fantine's costume (In your experience)? In some photos it looks very blue, and very green in others (as in the Alice Ripley one I posted). Yet, every time I've seen the show live, the costume always looks like a mixture of both colors. I got a chance to actually touch the dress when I went backstage at the Imperial in 1997, and it looked very blue, and only the elastic bands at the shoulders and waist were green. This costume has always intrigued me. There's probably no 'official' version, but generally, I'd say it's a mixture of both. | ||||||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
The revival one was distinctly green, but you're right, it can kind of go either way in the photos. I suppose it just varies by production. (Or even within productions; there were definite variations in the revival costumes for the understudies and replacements.) | ||||||||||||
| lesmisloony |
How eenteresting that I never thought of it as blue until now... but since you bring it up, yeah, it does seem kinda blue half the time. Huh.
Fantine has, like, the least-noticable costume of any principle, I think. Young Cosettes and Gavroches aside, of course. |

3, then:
grantaire's death is different from the novel because instead of waking up to go to stand besides enjolras alone, in the miniseries all the amis are still alive and surrounded by the soldiers when he decides to join them, and they are all shoot together. Although if I remember right ,half the amis were missing in that version?

I have it. I'm not so fond of it. Very very faithful to the book. But awfully boring. Until their "wake-up" with Depardieu's Cyrano the french were reputed for making the most boring adaptations of their classics and this is an example. The actors are good. Valjean is very good and I like Javert. You also have nearly all the characters left out in the musical, like m. Gillenormand. Marius has a "i'm so stupid" expression on his face all the time and awful hair, but a) marius isn't that clever and b) the 80`s! �ponine is too old for the role, but this is the closer portrayal to book-�ponine I have seen. You have Azelma (and Gavroche as their brother). The Th�nardiers are dark and depressing, no comedy here. Yes, you have Montparnasse  , and he has a few lines, but I find the actor's baby face a bit repulsive...
Fantine sells teeth and everything. I love the way they portray the factory, I had never seen it like that in my head. I have some issues with the actress thought. Mainly about her late 70�s/ early 80�s look and about her nose looking as it is was remade, but she is a convincing fantine. You don�t have all the students (I think that feuilly, joly and prouvaire are left out) but they all have their personalities (there is this particular scene where enjolras and courfeyrac are visiting marius, and �ponine arrives. It�s fun because they leave the room and E. practically walks through �ponine, as if he did not even see the girl, but Courfeyrac actually stops to flirt with her (I really like courfeyrac in this version, but enjolras has something really unpleasant about him). You also have the epilogue as it should be, with marius and cosette �abandoning� the old man (oh, and the look of marius in his wedding suit (so 70�s!) is priceless. So, yes, you have a very faithful version of the book but imo it does not make it a good film. The direction is pretentious and stiff, and the movie lacks rhythm and fluidity� *in a very low voice* I actually fell asleep during the gutters part. Anyway. If anyone is interested, I have it. French. No subtitles (but you know what�s going on, don�t you?) I can upload it to the mule and give it top priority. If you send me your id I can add you as a friend and give you priority download too. I am useless with computers and I don�t know how to upload it in any other way (but if you tell me how, I�ll do it). |

#1, Gavroche's old song "You"... I read about it in my Edward Behr book back when I was doing my eighth grade research paper on LM (it ended up being about fifty pages, and it was only on the musical, so ha). Admittedly I had to pull the book out to find the lyrics, but I did initially know which song it was...

You kicked us in the gutter and you laughed in our face You dragged us through the courtroom and you taught us our place You preached at us on Sunday looking solemn and sleek You cheated us on Monday and the rest of the week We saw the coaches passing on the way to the ball I wonder if you noticed we had nothing at all We smelt you coming out again with brandy for breath I wonder if you noticed we were starving to death Be careful as you go You don't know what we know You drove us to despair You thought we didn't care Of the remaining two... well, one is Forbidden Broadway.

"My Souvenir Things" (AKA the reason I spend so much time on eBay)... and... the "Les Mis 2" one with "One Year More"... I like elipses... |
