    I love how the actor singing Enjolras starts up the down-escalator, mimicking the revolving stage when it's performed, and the two-steps forward, two-steps back they do when this song is performed in the musical. Such a little thing, but it's a very clever piece of business when performing in a non-theatre venue like this.

    This is the kind of flash mob I like…the ones where you can tell all the people around weren’t expecting a flash mob in the middle of a public square to happen by giving them lots of empty space. When the flash mob is literally surrounded by non mobbers then you know it’s going to be a good one and not one that feels like any other performances…I hope that made sense🤔

    One of the male singers started his career with my ex-wife teaching him singing and i had the very great pleasure of having him sing beside me as the other tenor in the choir i was in at the time. Through hard work and constant practice, he has become a fine baritone and a wonderful husband and father to his family of about twenty boys (well that is an exaggeration, but he doesn't know how to produce girls as yet) Josh, you are a hero to me and hopefully remain a good friend for my remaining years, even though you live in Adelaide and I live in Coffs Harbour. I think the chances of the two of us singing "In the depths of the temple" have long gone but it would have been fun to try it!!!
