We are very concerned about the situation and sincerely hope that Marius and Cosette stop fauning and get on with it.
I've even started reading other books to distract from the didactics.
I'm definitely a Dostoevsky guy. And I never felt Proust to slow down even in the four months it took to read... I guess Victor Hugo had his Shit To Say.
How you gonna tell me there were no #autistic people in the past when #Javert is right there
Javert: oh hey Mr Mayor who literally just heroically saved someone in front of me, you remind me of a criminal I used to know oh wait social rules right
#Valjean: no GO on.
Javert: oh ok! INFODUMP FOREVER

later Javert
There is a set of rules dammit! And you follow the rules!!!
To love, or to have loved, is enough. Ask for nothing more. There is no other pearl to be found in life’s shadowy convolutions. To love is an achievement.
[Aimer ou avoir aimé, cela suffit. Ne demandez rien ensuite. On n’a pas d’autre perle à trouver dans les plis ténébreux de la vie. Aimer est un accomplissement.]
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Les Misérables, Part 5 “Jean Valjean,” Book 6 “The White Night,” ch. 2 (5.6.2) (1862) [tr. Donougher (2013)]

You’ve landed the winning number in the lottery: love in matrimony. You’ve won the big prize, look after it well, keep it under lock and key, don’t squander it, adore each other, and never mind the rest. Believe what I’m telling you. It’s good sense. Good sense cannot lie. Be a religion to each other. Every man has his own way of adoring God. Heavens above! the best way to adore God is to love your wife.
[Vous avez chipé à la loterie le bon numéro, l’amour dans le sacrement ; vous avez le gros lot, gardez-le bien, mettez-le sous clef, ne le gaspillez pas, adorez-vous, et fichez-vous du reste. Croyez ce que je dis là. C’est du bon sens. Bon sens ne peut mentir. Soyez-vous l’un pour l’autre une religion. Chacun a sa façon d’adorer Dieu. Saperlotte ! la meilleure manière d’adorer Dieu, c’est d’aimer sa femme.]

I never thought I'd be screaming a song from Les Miserables at the top of my lungs, but...
HEY TRUMP!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes
Un moment....

#LesMis im Gärtnerplatztheater #München ist unglaublich gut. Extrem gutes Ensemble, überraschend ernst inszeniert und eine Kulisse, die opulenter ist als bei den typischen CM-Produktionen. Nur geht nicht während der #Wiesn.
Trump missing the point of Les Misérables harder than he dodged the draft.

Trump strutted into Les Misérables like a conquering hero—
and got booed, heckled, and flipped off by drag queens.
The irony? He thinks “Do You Hear the People Sing?” is about him.
It is.
They’re shouting get out.

Trump booed and cheered at the...
Balcony seats empty, orchestra seats empty, plenty of performers declined to work tonight...

10 to 12 actors bowed out of the performance where #OurPutin #AnotherOrban will be in attendance, but they didn't bow out of the Kennedy Center run, as this NPR article incorrectly claims (I read the CNN article they link). Good context for why the tone deaf administration will applaud a revolution against themselves LOL

What I was sayimg all throughout Season 1 of #TheLastOfUs is where are the musical numbers? Where are the sweeping chorus/dance scenes? I hope this acoustic set leads to a #LesMis or #Hamilton style set piece. Maybe get Key and Peale to set it up. Clickers can do the percussion.

THE SONG OF FREEDOM WILL NEVER BE DISTINGUISHED. VOTE!

Ugh. She was so good in this. Just rips your heart out.
#Protest comes in many forms. The #Army Chorus performs "Do You Hear the People Sing" with Trump in attendance.
