Just back from the theatre with another one 
YKYOWLMW You're watching a show and there is a Les Mis reference (well, technically a Susan Boyle reference-Scottish woman comes on in a frizzy grey wig and dodgy eyebrows, wrongly pronounces 'Les Miserables' and sings I Dreamed a Dream) and the people you're with, on each side of you, simultaneously nudge you and look at you knowingly.

"Evil Is Sexy: Montparnasse, described as 'the flower of the underworld,' has a v. significant fangirl: LesMisLoony."
Ahh, there. Much better. "Ho Yay: You can't put nine good-looking students in a novel without experiencing at least a little of this." And once again, I'm flabbergasted when people who claim to have read the book, deny that there's any subtext. Not to mention that ever since reading this list, I cannot look at Marius the same way ever again. |

Your sister sends you a congratulatory card for your graduation which reads "PASSPORT to the future" and the card happens to be yellow-ish, and you start to think about how graduating from school really IS an awful lot like getting out of prison, and you're not really free because you have to go find a job. |

You're watching the extended version of Les enfants du si�cle and your first reaction to George Sand arriving in Paris in the middle of the June 1832 revolt is to squee. Your second reaction is "This is historically inaccurate," because you've read all the firsthand accounts you can find, including George Sand's, and know that she was already established in Paris at that point.
Also, did I miss something that said "TWENTY YEARS LATER" or did they seriously imply that Musset kicked the bucket shortly after he and Sand broke it off for good? Because if they did, misplacing Sand's arrival in Paris by a year or two for dramatic effect is the least of their problems. I mean, it was a good movie, but jesus that is some serious screwing with history. |

You are the first to win the guessing game to guess the fall show when it is les mis. | ||||||||
| Moci |
I saw this years ago in a French class and can't remember it properly, but am I imagining that it implied that Musset comitted suicide over Sand? Or was my French that bad that I completely misunderstood. 'Cause I remember reading about him afterwards and being surprised that he died of heart failure. |
||||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
I... am not sure. I think it implied that he drank and pined and sulked himself into such a state of ill health that he was easy prey for illness. Either that or he got himself run over by a carriage lying in the middle of the street like that. Either way it was a pretty disingenuous ending, because not only did he die of heart failure, he died two decades after the end of his affair with Sand. |

When you call up the Box Office to book tickets and the guy on the other end says "Ahhh yes, we've had many bookings from you!" |
||||||||
| aquirkofmatter |
Yup, I get that - one of the girls in the box office knows me now! That's in person though, I've not had it over the phone...
|
||||||||
| Madeleine |
Yeah, I get it over the phone too.
There's always some comment like 'Well, I'm sure you know this already, but the stage is very high.' A few months ago, the lady on the phone said that I was 'a nice easy customer'. I said 'Yeah, I book a lot', to which she replied, 'I know!!'. I'm assuming they can see our booking history on their screen when we ring up? 
|

Haha probably, we must be some of their most regular customers! | ||||||||

Very jealous over here! Wish I could get myself down to London enough for them to know me at the Box Office XD That is very impressive
Also, YKYOWLMW: you go on holiday, and whilst on a coach trip back from an excursion, you meet the most wonderful French family, discover that the two sons are named Hugo and Marius, and spend the rest of the journey (about 4/5 hours) attempting to discuss both book and musical in excrutiating detail, in very dodgy French. You have also still not got over this almost two months later! (But seriously. This made my day. Or possibly my week...) |
||||||||
| aquirkofmatter |
Ooh, that's pretty cool and discussing in French, no less! I'd have stopped after about three sentences and gone "D�sol�, parlez-vous anglais?" and if they hadn't just completely given up 
Oooh, I've just thought of one! YKYOWLMW you go to see a serious play (Ph�dre - a Greek tragedy) and when the lead character starts wandering across the stage screeching "What have I done?!?" you start giggling completely inappropriately. (The old people sitting around me and my friend were not amused, to say the least!) |
||||||||
| Madeleine |
Was this the NT production? I saw that in July, and remember 'What have I done?!' but did not make the Les Mis connection. I feel thoroughly ashamed of myself now.

You know you're obsessed with Les Miz when you go to see a big serious play and can't follow the plot because you've spent the whole show imagining going to see Les Miz in London again XD | ||||||||

Twas indeedy! I only went to see Dominic Cooper, really... I thought it was weird and very heavy, but I had a nice gigglefit at Helen Mirren's v overdramatic "What have I done?!" and was waiting for her to start singing! |

When the news anchor states that, "this is going to be a season for black and red," you, of course, imagine that this is a perfect season for Mizzies, and unfortunately, when you wear red and black in excessive quantities, no-one is going to realise the true meaning. | ||||||||

you almost die noticing that the church next to the theatre where Jon Robyns' musical cabaret gig is going to be is called "Notre-Dame de France" and the pub opposite Queen's Theatre is named "Chez Victor". and I'm sure that pub already existed before Les Mis moved to the Queen's.

When you spend literally 4 hours Googling and saving random Les Mis pics...and have a great time doing it.
Btw, found these pics of an S.E. production that did a pretty decent job in recreating the basics of John Napier's set design. Even some of the lighting is reminiscent of David Hersey's. I'm convinced that there are certain scenes in the show that work best when staged like the original. Yeah, yeah, yeah, artistic expression/creativity/innovation is all fine and dandy, but after years of seeing pics and video of S.E. and regional Les Mis productions fail to stage many scenes effectively, I say stick to the concepts used in the original. Maybe not carbon-copy them, but do like this S.E. production did--using the original blocking/effects but still have a look unique to their production. I particularly like their "At the End of the Day" and barricade scenes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wnisley/tags/lesmiserables/ |

nope, not touchy, just.. it was about the entire current London cast, seeing as my "Cast Change" comment started it all. So I don't quite get why there was a problem at all.
ETA: I'm sorry if that came across as rude or anything. And I'm sorry that there is always so much about the London production and, in particular, about David Thaxton in all the threads - which is, of course, why I opened the fangirling thread. But this was really just about the whole cast with him being mentioned once and... that next Cast Change (however far it might be off) - it is kind of a big deal for those of us, who have seen or still can see the current cast. Therefore there will always be comments mentioning the cast (and him) in other threads. |

Anyway, YKYOWLMW you can actually be bothered to carry the Brick around school with you (even if it will make your bag even heavier when you could barely carry it in the first place) just so you could read it at every opportunity. Also YKYOWLMW because you havn't stopped talking about Les Mis even 3 months after you've seen it that now your friends (who only know about les mis through videos of the 2008/2009 london cast on youtube. NOT because of anything I had said) are obsessed as well and at any mention of rain/dreams/castles/clouds/being on your own you end up getting odd looks from people cause your friends had decided to burst into song. This also resulted in your teacher giving you a very weird look because your friend has grabbed your arm and is singing "Don't you fret..." at you while you are trying to do work.

When you tear your hair out trying to sequence that damn keyboard heard at the top of the show.
Ack. Novel ahead. :S At any rate...I started a little project, waaaaaay back in 2002, in which I was going to recreate ALL of Les Mis' orchestral music (or 'Karaoke,' but I hate calling it that ). I didn't actually get too far, LOL, as I soon discovered that John Cameron's score is just way too complex to do by ear. Then I got my hands on a full score back in 2004, but I don't know how to read music. I tried teaching myself, but everything that I translated sounded like mush.
Years later, I'm pretty much a Les Mis orchestration expert, lol. After all, I've spent years meticulously trying to recreate every little sound from the entire show. And all I've got to show for it is...I got most of "On My Own" done in 2006 (I shared the file, but listening to it now, it sounds like crap), part of "One Day More," the chain gang sequence, half of "I Dreamed a Dream," Valjean's "Freedom is mine" part of the Prologue, and a tiny snippet of the overture. :S I just spent a pretty penny on Miroslav's Virtual Philharmonik Orchestra software. I was previously working with Synful Orchestra, which I like, but I wanted more natural sounding strings, and while I don't think any ridiculously priced software will perfectly recreate the actual sound of a real orchestra, this really is the next best thing. I've been teaching myself how to read music these last few weeks, with mixed results. At best, the actual score will aide in placing correct tempos, articulations, and some of the note sequencing. But it looks like I'll have to rely on my big ears to do the rest, ha! I'm pretty excited because it's the one thing I've been wanting to get done for ages and I'm glad I brought the project back from the dead, LOL. I think I'm going to start with "On My Own" again since it's the most complete from my previous attempts. All I need for that is that tricky guitar that starts at "And I know it's only in my mind.." You can hardly hear it, but it's there. I also need to fix the tempo cause the file I shared some years ago on here is ridiculously fast. I will post the finished product some time next month. I'm working on "I Dreamed a Dream" simultaneously, so I'll post that too. The one sound that I could never recreate no matter what, was that growling synth in the beginning of the prologue. After much research, I've learned that the reason it's nearly impossible to recreate is because John Cameron himself created the keyboard patches. They can't be downloaded (like most others can) nor purchased. Even worse, they can only be used on the ancient DX 7 Yamaha keyboard, which means that current S.E. and regional productions have to FIND an old DX 7 if they wish to have that exact sound heard on the cast albums. The patches were updated in 2000, I believe, to be used with a more modern keyboard but they sound somewhat different. Much of the show is heavily synthesized with this keyboard. In fact, there is hardly a moment in the show where the keyboard isn't playing along with the rest of the orchestra. I was considering purchasing a DX7 but then I realized that my software sequencer has a built-in FM synth emulator. After playing around with the controls for hours, this is what I came up with... http://yourlisten.com/channel/content/25778/DX7_Yamaha Pretty close, eh? Definitely not exact, but I think it captures the essence of John's original, grungy keyboard sounds. This sound, btw, is from "On My Own." Expect a lot of random rambling postings about this project. I've already slammed my fists twice in frustration while trying to sequence some of that crazy score, hehe. Ahhh, but how I love it so. <3 |

A local production my cousin was in sourced not 1, not 2, but 3 DX7s (well, 2 DX7s and the rackmount version; but still). The unfortunate thing was that their was a problem with the internal batteries on one of them, and so they lost all their patches when they turned it off. To solve it, they left it on. From the beginning of the Orchestra rehearsal period until closing night.
By the end of it, the power adapter was quite seriously considering bursting into flame. |

You spend most of the morning on this site http://www.deanjackson.dj/nameanagram/index.php, putting in names of Les Mis characters, cast members, in fact anything vaguely mis-related... Some good ones for you all... Characters: Luc-Esprit Gillenormand: proud, eminent call-girls Charles Francois Bienvenu Myriel: bashfully insomniac irreverence Thenardier: rat hinderer Eponine Thenardier: inane poet hinderer (Marius is nearly a poet...) Sister Simplice: scrimpiest lies Felix Tholomyes: fool them sexily Geroges Pontmercy: respect gory gnome (I thought this was quite suitable given his war history, and love of gardening...) Ultime Fauchelevent: I'm the feculent value Enjolras and Combeferre: Enforceable major nerds For lesmisloony, Montparnasse: saner tampons! Cast members: George Miller: More girl glee (though that kinda fitted Bamatabois) Simon Shorten: Smooth sinner (as Babet?) Greg Castiglioni: Niggle orgiastic (wtf?) Jackie Marks: Am a sick jerk Leanne Dobinson: Blonde's on inane (ref to Nancy perhaps?) Martin Neely: Man entirely Katie Hall: the alkali Thomas Camilleri: literal machismo A lot of characters were hard to get, because they're only given one name, e.g. Javert, the students. So I started combining them with the cast member: Earl Carpenter!Javert: reject prenatal raver (given what Fantine was up to, she may well have been pregnant...) David Thaxton!Enjolras: joins hot x-rated vandal (hmm...) Martin Neely!Grantaire: ratty, inane malingerer (that's not really fair) Richard Woodford!Grantaire: adore horrid farting coward (so, he thinks Enjolras is a horrid farting coward  )
Jeff Nicholson!Grantaire: joining of flash recanter (that must be a reference to Orestes Fasting and Plyades drunk, surely?) Mark Dugdale!Courfeyrac: freak cruddy, ace glamour For the Eppie-boppers, Euphrasie Pontmercy: super mean hypocrite But then again, "Eponine and Marius": I'm unreasoned pain |

Nah, I don't think Enjolras can be labelled as a nerd, seeing as he probably employs Combeferre to do majority of his papers.
Or, illiterate pole-obsessed fan-waving guttersnipe.
Saner tampons, Loony? |

Marla, I do have a YouTube account but I haven't posted any audio I've created. I have lots of cool musicals stuff though. Check it out!
http://www.youtube.com/user/LesMisere I have only been using Miroslav's program since yesterday, but I must say, it's overall pretty good. Some of the sounds blow though. Like the French Horns...Terrible! But their strings are beautiful when they are used correctly. Here's another sample from "On My Own." It's the string section played @ "In the rain..." http://yourlisten.com/channel/content/25784/Miroslav%20String%20Section Unfortunately I had to compress it to the awful mp3 format, and it has GREATLY reduced the quality. You can hear this annoying, tinny hiss at the higher frequencies. And there are choppy transitions from note to note. I'm sure there's a way to get rid of that but I'll have to get familiar with the program. Anyway, it's mostly to show progress is being made, hehe. That little section took me ages to complete. I doubt there are any mistakes in the orchestration. It should be exactly as the original. If not, I'd appreciate any feedback!

Quique, that On My Own clip made me melt with happiness. Although listening to it made me realise exactly how much they've sped up the current London production!

Haha, actually, I slowed the tempo down considerably so that it can be heard in detail.
I've been very busy with IDAD today. Mostly fixing a lot of notes that I screwed up on my first attempt. Working with it has made me come to realize that, as much as I love that song as a whole, it has a really yucky orchestration for the first half. The second half is so beautiful though, it makes up for it. |

YKYOWLMWhen you hear someone singing At the End of the Day on your hall and sneak over to their room. Right when the foreman comes in you leap into the doorway and sing at the top of your lungs in an over-the-top Cockney accent.
