The Shameless Fangirl-ing ThreadSo, I thought we needed one of these. Even though I'm not much in the mood to be a fangirl right now. You know, in case I'm not the only one in this community who occasionally goes on a fangirling run....Yeah. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Haha. I shamelessly fangirl:
Enjolras Enjolras/Grantaire (their buttse--I mean, subtext--is so canon) Aaron Lazar The Broadway revival Combeferre The Brick in all its 1500-page glory The PRC lyrics Most of the Broadway revival barricade boys The OLC in all its quirkiness I'm willing to discuss any of these subjects rationally, faults included, but at the end of the day I will go back to my unabashed fangirly joy. |
||||||
| mastachen |
I fanboy:
Lea Salonga Marissa McGowan. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
I fangirl... (take a guess)
MONTPARNASSE. Cosette (is that okay? to fangirl a girl?) Valjean (esp. Frederic March... yow) the Brick Gueulemer the PRC L'un vers l'autre and I Saw Him Once Michael Ball and Philip Quast Kip Driver and Mike Evariste John Owen-Jones Conan O'Brien Babet

Oooohhh exciting thread.
I fangirl Eponine (but not in a bopper way; I am proud of my non-bopper ness, though I could use a new username. But I can't post as fast as all of you 'round here. I don't want to be a "fresh face" anymore. Haha. ^^; 
VALJEAN <3 <3 <3 Grantaire Enjolras Enjy/Grantaire (true.love.) Victor Wallace (obsessed) Melissa Lyons Lea Salonga Megan McGinnis CELIA KEENAN-BOLGER Severus Snape ...oops wrong forum... Are we allowed to fangirl the brick? I do then! Hahah. Javert (but not as much as Valjean) ...I'm going to end up listing all of the characters and actors, save for Gavroche and Daphne Rubin Vega. I should stop now. Haha. |
||||||
| Fantine |
I have my periods of fangirling. At the moment I'm more busy with other fandoms. Are we allowed to obsess over them as well? | ||||||
| mastachen |
I'm writing an essay right now, and I named someone in it Marissa McGowan. | ||||||
| Quique |
I used to have a fascination with the national tours and knew every city and theatre the show visited. I've forgotten most of it now. I become a raging fanboy when it comes to the orchestrations. I went insane when I heard they were tampering with the orchestrations for the revival, haha. I also raised hell when they placed that Sinfonia thing in the London production, grrr.
I used to compare photos from different productions and take note of all differences. I was sorta odd back then, lol. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Now that it's morning and I'm desperately trying to put off going to work, I'm in the mood for fangirling.
I shamelessly fangirl: Enjolras Marius Valjean (except when he's Colm. That's not sexy.) Javert, in spite of myself Michael Maguire (haha, *shamelessly fangirls* ... a lot. <33333) Philip Quast Michael Ball John Owen-Jones<333 Montparnasse, a little Enj/R ... teehee Exactly, I'm willing to discuss rationally any of the above subjects. But when left to my own devices, I fangirl all over the place. Hurrah for us! Pictures/other fangirl materials welcome. Love, Cosette [/b] |
||||||
| Quique |
-Sutton Foster
-Craig Rubano -Anthony Warlow -Elinore O'Connell -The original Los Angeles production (I'd kill for a vid boot of it) |
||||||
| Fantine |
I'm starting to fangirl for Enjolras....
I also really like Eponine x Montparnasse 
My devotion to Fantine is kind of over, although I do still run my website with pride and joy  I'm sure it will return once I see the TAC again or something.
(I'm currently fangirling all over Inspector Lynley)...... |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
I love Fantine as well. I think she's sadly ignored. Not unlike Valjean, the original pwn-er.
I must also add Colm's boots from the TAC to my list. Those things are sexay. |
||||||
| Kragey |
Oh, yes indeedy! |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
How could I have forgotten Sutton Foster?
Add her to the list! And Cortney Wolfson also! And the final third national tour cast! I'm kind of obsessed with them. |
||||||
| Quique |
Same here. I saw them three times in their final L.A. stop back in June, 2006. I sobbed like you won't believe when I saw the closing night performance. I was all..."end of an era...whaaaa!!!!!" 
And I didn't want to leave the theatre afterwards. I just stood there looking at the empty stage crying. An usher had to kick us out, lol. |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
I saw that LA June production twice also. (My friends and I went in costume at one point. Dorky, but people seemed to appreciate it since it wasn't just me alone. That would just be sad. Haha. I was with two friends and basically made both of their costumes as well. /random story) I SOBBED as well when I had to say goodbye to Randal Keith, Jennifer Butt and Melissa Lyons at the stage door. *Sniff* Okay that was really random and off topic, but that's how much I adored that cast! Haha. |
||||||
| Quique |
I saw it on June 9th, 14th, and 18th. I had tickets for a 4th and 5th time, but I was nice--and stupid--and sold them to members of my family who wanted to see it one last time as well.
The sis and I were almost going to stagedoor on closing night, but we ended up not going. I regret that now, grrr. |
||||||
| mastachen |
I saw it once on it's June LA stop. It was memorable b/c Victor Wallace's voice cracked.
It was totally silent for 2 seconds, and then my dad laughed. |
||||||
| Quique |
His voice cracked once when I saw him on the 18th. Other than that, he had a really powerful voice. Loved him. | ||||||
| mastachen |
You're joking.
THAT'S WHEN I WENT TO SEE IT. Edit: Oops. I saw it on the 13th. I just checked the tickets. Apparently, he cracks quite a bit then. |
||||||
| jackissensational |
Fanboyisms:
Your generics- but I fanboy them hardcore, mind you. Colm! Gosh, I that man makes my life 89444 shades brighter. All Asian productions! I don't know what it is, but they just seem to rock the costumes like none other! Ruthie Henshall... Ah, love. Has anyone else seen the TV version of Scrooge with the guy that plays Frazier. (Name escapes me, my bad.) Ruthie plays Scrooge's mother. She looks different than usual. And Sound of Musicals on BBC? Ah, made my life. Oh, and as Fantine, I kinda' like her as that one too, hehe! And many other such things, that you don't care about that much, so I won't post 'em! |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
How ironic... I'm watching Frasier at this absolute very moment. Kelsey Grammar.
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Teehee. I <3 Kelsey Grammer. And Frasier.
And Ruthie Henshall. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Ooh, yes! Add Niles Crane to my list of things I fangirl! | ||||||
| Electricity24601 |
Oh, I like this thread!
The brick (I'm about 1/3 of the way through and LOVING it) John Owen-Jones- this one is more than an obsession- its pretty scary, actually Grantaire Stephen Trafton Kerry Ellis (I <3 her Fantine) Enjy's vest Cosette's bonnet Ali Edwolt The well scene (so cuuuuuuuute!) |
||||||
| Paula74 |
These are just off the top of my head. I know there's plenty more.
The 1st National Tour My first copy of The Brick with all its tatters, tape, dog-ears, and rips Anthony Crivello as Javert Hugh Panaro's 1988 headshot coffee Javert's long coat J.C. Sheets' Valjean A random fragment of the barricade Hugh Panaro's Marius My shabby old Les Miz t-shirt Norm Lewis |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Mm, I know where you're coming from. *adores JOJ with the burning power of a thousand suns* |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
YES YES YES ME TOO! It's just so ~adorable~ and stuff. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Yes.
Everything Marius/Cosette Niles Crane and The guy who plays 'Parnasse in the TAC 
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
NGAHH YES. THAT GUY. THAT GUY. except for his wannabe Enjy vestIS AMAZING.
Actually, I really love the TAC Patron-Minette. Except for Claquesous, who looks like a bouncy little boy... WTF? But Brujon makes a fantastic Gueulmer, no? And I *love* that Babet. Especially his voice. *fangirls TAC!Patron-Minette a LOT* |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Teehee. *fangirls THAT GUY*
Keith Burns, I think his name is. Ridiculously Montparnassesque. Shoooo attractive. There were a number of those in the TAC. Which became increasingly apparent to me last night as I watched it for the first time in a few months. *fangirls attractive Miz men* Love, Cosette |
||||||
| Electricity24601 |
That might be next on my to-make list
Yay, fellow JOJ love! Have you ever checked out the joj forums? *shameless plug* |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I haven't! Link please?
Ahhh JOJ. I want to marry that man. *fangirls* |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
JOJ FORUMS? WHERE??
*breathes.* Okay. But no, I mean, I FLOVED his Valjean, and then we met him at the stagedoor... and even if he hadn't been an amazing JVJ, I would be fangirling his British accent right now. EponineMNFF: We had bread at lunch! We should have brought it to you! Loony: Ooh, yeah, I even had a baguette thingy! JOJ: I can't eat bread, actually; I've got a wheat allergy. It's a bit ironic. *melts and dies* |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I'm not kidding, JOJ is so ridiculously hot. And I don't even like blond men as a rule. And that voice ...
*FANGIRL* LML... that conversation .... SO ADORABLE. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
And just so you know, the bread thing has had me laughing hysterically for about 5 minutes. 'Cause he's Valjean. And he's allergic to BREAD. Ohhh my gosh that's priceless.
*dies laughing* *melts at JOJ* *dies laughing* |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
I do believe that was my exact reaction.
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Geez, I'm in such a fangirly mood today, it's not even funny.
... and I'm still laughing at the bread thing. |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
Meeting JOJ at the stage door = making my life a little bit more complete.
He seemed pretty delighted by my Valjean Halloween costume too. Or maybe creeped out. I can't tell. <.<
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
I'd have to say "delighted."
|
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Oh JOJ. For the longest time I never heard him say more than four consecutive words at the stagedoor, then one day my friend mentioned a little mishap that had happened during the matinee and he started talking about how the chairs in the London production are lighter and he keeps bruising his ribs trying to knock the Broadway ones over.
|
||||||
| Quique |
Ahh. I really wanted to see JOJ. =(
I was also looking forward to Judy Kuhn, but I've heard that she wasn't all that great (I think one of you said that). |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
I fangirl Judy's "Take my hand" through "And tell Cosette I love her and I'll see her when I wake," in Come to Me, but that's about it.
That was fabulous, though. |
||||||
| Electricity24601 |
Ah, JOJ can be very hilarious and sweet if you get him talking.
Story time! At the b-way stage door, my mom asked him if about a play that's coming to b-way that she thinks he'd be really good in. It's called Death takes a Holiday. Mom: John, what about Death Takes a Holiday? JOJ: What? Mom: Death Takes a Holiday Joj: What? Jeff takes a holiday? Mom: No, death JOJ: Who's Jeff? Mom: No, DEATH JOJ: Oh, death takes a holiday! If JOJ is allergic to wheat, how does he eat the bread onstage? Here's the forum link: http://www.chris.ripside.com/joj/ It used to super busy, but it has been really quiet lately. Most of the original members still stop by, but don't post nearly as often (they seem to have gotten what most of us call a "life") So we could definately use some new rabid Les Mis fans over there! (my username is eponinefan, btw) |
||||||
| Fantine |
Haha, that IS really ironic, him not being able to eat bread. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
What do you mean? I'm pretty sure there's no bread onstage... If I remember correctly, it's pantomime food chez the bishop, if that's what you're referring to... I shall certainly check that link. And I love the story about Jeff taking a holiday, by the way. It just brightened up what was already proving to be a crappy day. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Aww, JOJ is so adorable. Love him. I just finished watching the TAC ... and I'm overcome with the urge to shamelessly fangirl both Michaels. (Alas, not even footage of him as Edna is enough to stop me from being attracted to Michael as he was in '95 and before...) So, I'm just saying. That's what Cosette is spending the rest of her night doing. Shamelessly fangirling MB and Maguire.
*FANGIRLS* Love, Cosette |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Nope, the Bishop's bread is real. They get a new loaf I think once a week--which makes me feel sorry for Valjean's teeth on the Sunday show. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
*bows*
Apologies. I thought I remembered my mom making a comment after we saw a tour, saying she didn't understand why the bishop's house had pantomime food and the wedding scene had giant (fake) cakes and things. But that was a while back. And maybe she's about as observant as I am...
So wait, JOJ *did* eat bread every night? How? *befuddled...ness* |
||||||
| mastachen |
Yeah. If you watch the bootlegs, JOJ always takes a huge bite out of it. Like he never eats dinner before the show. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
Certainly he didn't lie to us... | ||||||
| mastachen |
Maybe he is allergic. But he takes one for the team every night? | ||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Who knows, maybe they got gluten-free bread or something.
|
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
There are wheatless breads out there. It seems like a bit more of a pain for whoever's ordering it, but eh. Worth it for JOJ.
Wait, they get a new one every WEEK? But how does the audience not notice when there's a huge bite taken out of it already when it comes on stage? |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
I didn't even notice there was bread... (HEY. I was distracted by the presence of Mme Magloire and Mlle Baptistine, OKAY?) |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
^^They're in it? That's amazing! I just wrote a math problem about them... I think my teacher is currently befuddled... |
||||||
| Mademoiselle Lanoire |
No lines, but yes, they're in it. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Jenny Galloway was Mme Magloire...
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
that made my life better. |
||||||
| eponine5 |
Oh! Maybe that's why Drew Sarich kept knocking extra chairs over when I saw him in London... I fangirl: JOJ Kerry Ellis Hayden Tee Jeff Nicholson John Owen-Jones David Thaxton The Brick Gary Watson JOJ's at Javert right before 'Who Am I?'
Sutton Foster Marius Enjolras/Grantaire All variations of the Cosette Logo did I mention JOJ? |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
You are now my homie. Hello, friend. Also, I'm a little bit obsessed with the song "Every Day/A Heart Full of Love (reprise)." Depsite all the famous melodies in Les Mis ... that's my favorite song ... and I fangirl it shamelessly! Love, Cosette |
||||||
| mastachen |
When I went to watch it, JOJ just went through the motions. It was kinda disappointing. Maybe he couldn't wait for Jan. 6 to come? I can't deny that sexy voice though. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Well, Drew seems to be violent with props in general, because he used to occasionally send candlesticks flying into the wings during What Have I Done. Haha. I'm not sure whether the London blocking includes knocking over the chair during the Waltz of Treachery, but Drew seemed to have way too much fun with that too. And oh man, I completely forgot about David Thaxton. <3 |
||||||
| flying_pigs |
I fangirl:
JOJ Hayden Tee Julia Moller JOJ David Thaxton (and his Final Battle) Jeffert and ValJOJ JOJ and young Cosette in the Well Scene <3 Beggars at the Feast, so funny! Marius and Cosette JOJ Claudia Bradley JOJ's 'I am warning you JavERT' The way Valjean swings Little Cosette round Eponine's hat JOJ I think I have too many....and there's probably more I've forgotten! |
||||||
| dcrowley |
Hayden Tee is my dream mate. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
GAH, YES! I was sitting in the balcony the first time I saw JOJ, and I could just imagine the little kid coming loose and flying off into the crowd... |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I actually had no idea, before coming here, that JOJ was so widely fangirled. I thought I was just kind of weird. But apparently not.
Go us! |
||||||
| mastachen |
^correction.
'fanboyed I think from now on, we should just use 'fanpeopled' |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Apologies, mastachen. 
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Fanpeopled!!
|
||||||
| flying_pigs |
I know! I once had a vision of her flying off into the wings which made me laugh inside! And yes JOJ=fanpeopled! He'a very popular! |
||||||
| Mistress |
He also ain't too bad looking...and if I remember correctly, he's "Bring Him Home" almost made me like him better than Colm Wilkinson and his version of the song (there's something about JOJ's voice...  ... )
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
It's like... sex in vocal form.
*realises that this sounds very strange* *doesn't care* |
||||||
| Electricity24601 |
I love you guys! JOJ crazies unite!
And that voice... gah. Have you guys heard Hallelujah? |
||||||
| bigR |
ok
I realize this may come here as a huge heresy. ehem. i'll just go hide myself under my bed after i say it. i've never seen JOJ on stage, so, maybe that would make me change my mind, but... i find utterly impossible to find any valjean sexy even in the most remote way. and i guess that it kind of extends to the actor playing him. seriously. valjean lust=creepy perversion. thenardier is sexier than him. fauchelevant is sexier than him. the 2 candlesticks are sexier than him. *runs away and hides* |
||||||
| Mademoiselle Lanoire |
Out of curiosity, why? | ||||||
| bigR |
well. i don't know. seriously. it is something irrational.
but now that you asks it makes me wonder. i'll have to think about it. (maybe because he is such a fatherly figure that i can only see him as a father or grandfather? i know for certain that that scene with valjean-depardieu getting cosette into his bed makes me shudder)... i'll think a little bit more. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Umm, yeah. JOJ is sexy. No question. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
*pokes curlyhairedsoprano* Have you? As for JVJ, he's one of my favourite characters ever. He's such a beast! And bigR, if you want to find Valjean sexay, check out the Frederic March movie from '35. Yowzers. (I've put up a bunch of scenes on youtube, if decide to follow this advice...) |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
*pokes Loony back*
No, I haven't yet ... downloading odd things, virus-free as they may be, won't be cool with my mom if she were to realize. I may just have to shell out the overseas shipping and buy the album. |
||||||
| bigR |
is that Valjean? omg i don't know if he is sexy but he certainly is.. different? (it's the first Valjean i've ever seen who looks alive, and can joke or laugh and I like that, why does he have to be so extremely gloomy?) And that Javert, he is like a dog from hell, looks completely irrational and ugly! I guess they really wanted to make clear to the audiences who were good and bad guy!
|
||||||
| Mistress |
I'm listening to it right now, along with his Bring Him Home... ..wow, I didn't think that song could sound sexy...I was wrong, very wrong. It sounds so much better than Rufus Wainright's version from the Shrek soundtrack.
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Jean Jean the Sexy Con, that's what I call 'im. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0NvUwXUNL0
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Everything JOJ sings sounds sexy. He's just a sexy sexy man. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
So am I the only one who doesn't find JOJ sexy? Amazing, yes, but not in the sex-on-a-stick way. | ||||||
| flying_pigs |
You're not alone. I'm a huge fan of his voice, his acting, his performance and his general awesome-ness, yet I don't find him sexy/good looking at all! Gimme Hayden Tee or Oliver Thornton anyday <3 |
||||||
| mastachen |
Sex on a stick? Sex on his stick? Sex with his stick? Oh my. *head melts* |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Now, now, let's not degenerate ...
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I need to add some things to this list.
Frances Ruffelle's "I know this house, I tell you" on the OLC. PQ's "M'sieur le Mayor, you'll wear a different chain" on the TAC. *major fangirl moment* JOJ's "There is power in me yet" on the BBC21. Matt Cammelle. This picture: 
*quotes Facebook group* Inspect me, Javert. This picture: 
*one, two, three* AWWWW. This picture: 
Teehee. And this picture: 
... holy Quast.
... *timidly raises hand* Can we add Enjolrass to the shameless fangirl-ing thread? Yes? Okay.
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
I LOVE THOSE PICTURES.
And you. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Awww! LOVEFEST! *loves Loony back* But seriously. *fangirls* |
||||||
| Kragey |
...OMG. O_O
That man is ridiculously beautiful. He'd make a gorgeous woman. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
What, you mean like this? 
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
GAAAHHHH!
*expires* |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Was that a good expiration or a bad expiration?
He has really nice legs... |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
 I'll tell you when I figure it out...
...Good? |
||||||
| Fantine |
Oh my God! Who, how, where, what???!
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Can I post a classic?
Well, maybe it's not exactly a classic, but it keeps cropping up in internet hangouts I frequent: 
...Or maybe that's just a reflection on my character. Love, Cosette |
||||||
| Kragey |
WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT?! |
||||||
| Fantine |
I'm still hoping that someone can post these that have Colm and the others on them. Exactly which one of those is Hayden Tee? |
