    I watched several performances of this show over the past few days, and have to say that these two are by far the best Madam and Monsieur Thénardier. They just capture the characters so perfectly, a complete sleeze and a drunken wench that love to hate and hate to love each other to the fullest. You can just tell that they love these roles and put their all into it, with little bits like the look Monsieur gives when he says 'lighten your purse' and how giddy he acts when going over how he charges extra for the mirror.

    2001, Manhattan. I'm a tourist from NZ. I walked out on to 5th Ave and was heckled by a hustler if I wanted tickets to the theater. We haggled back and forth till I got down to the a ridiculous amount. He agreed and I parted with $50 for 2 tickets not knowing if they were legit or not. Got to Broadway tand the ticket guy jumped on his walkie talkie asking for back up. I thought my wife and i were gonna be arrested. A man with a white tuxedo and white gloves came down and asked us to follow him upstairs, we were given the best seats in the house (similar to the old men in the Muppets show). We couldn't believe our luck. We were sitting next to Japanese royalty who were dressed in tuxedos and ball gowns. I just had my swandri and jeans. It was the most incredible 3 hours of my life. I'd never been to a show before. One of the most thrilling parts is when the orchestra conductor threw his stick on to the stage for the bad cop to catch who caught it backwards, pointed it Jean Val Jean and tossed it back backwards to the conductor who continued to conduct as though nothing had ever happened. A magical once in a lifetime event I'll never forget.

    How the producers of the film version could replace this perfect pair, especially since Alun Armstrong is a well known film actor, with a couple far too young and Hollywood-cute.

    Alun Armstrong was absolutely wonderful in the Royal Shakespeare Company production of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. His portrayal of Mr. Squeers was amazing. An extraordinarily talented actor and singer.

    If you have a few hours you could read the professional bio of Armstrong. I mean just the list of characters he has played on stage, screen and television. You can definitely see signs of his mastery of the comedic characters in Shakespeare's works right here, but he has done everything from Arthur Millers Willy Loman, to Eugene Ionesco's Exit the King, to John Proctor in the Crucible. Its a very accomplished resume.

    One of my favorite songs from Les Mis. Have seen this in the theater several times and I love it just as much as the first time. Every song is beautiful, yet some are sad. Alun Armstrong is hilarious!

  • @walkerda14
    @walkerda14 2 роки тому +9

    Great performers like Alun Armstrong show everyone how musical bits should be done.
    No surprise that he was part of the original Les Mis cast in London in 85.
    Aside from his film work (Braveheart and Patriot Games) he was built for musical theatre. I only wish they would tour ever decade.

    May be it’s just me but I find it really funny that you can see the cast members such as Fantine, Marius, Enjorlas and grown Cosette just swaying to the song. Especially when Colm Wilkinson reaches over and grabs a drink in the middle of it. IDK if that was supposed to be pet of the song or he needed that for his voice.

    Even if I'm mostly familiar with les Mis because we studied extracts from it in middle school (I'm french, our teachers were not that sadistic), I can immediatly see how perfect these two are as the Thénardiers. They've got more appeal and character than drawn caricatures.
