every fucking day i think about bruce springsteen pretending to be gay to avoid the draft and the conscription officers were like. “um. yeah, well. anyway, you had a concussion from a motorcycle accident, which means you failed the physical but. uh. thank you. for that.”

UwEnjolras Propaganda

This was supposed to be an artblog 100% but I felt the need to propaganda

Ok so Herr Uwe Kröger—an absolute icon in German (language) musicals—played Feuilly and did understudy Enjolras in a 1991 Dutch production of Les Mis. And his Enjolras is mmhmm chef kiss chef kiss chef kiss for the 5 following reasons

1. His Enj is so mean to Grantaire. So, mean. He shoves Grantaire away all the time.

(After the Death of Eponine: Enjolras watches the other people carry Eponine’s body away and goes to land a hand of comfort upon Marius’s shoulder. Grantaire stumbles behind him like his human pet only to be quickly disowned when Enjolras turns and goes ????)

(Shooing Grantaire away again during the barricades)

(Drink with Me: Seriously, pushing Grantaire away before toasting him is really “Enjolras, the believer, disdained this sceptic; and, a sober man himself, scorned this drunkard. He accorded him a little lofty pity”.)

2. He does this meow meow fall during the barricades. I’m not a LM musical expert maybe all Enjolrases meow meow fall but if there’s a meow meow fall it is by natural right people should be notified.

(Somebody is shot, Enj leaps down the barricade. Jean Valjean saves Enjolras’s ass while the latter lands on his ass in startled meow meow fashion. Javert is tied up and observing.)

3. He hands out money during “Paris”. It’s so sweet, he truly cares.

4. (If you are an Elisabeth das Musical fan you’ll get this, if not you can skip to point 5) He grabs Marius like he’s going to “Greif nach der Macht tu es aus Notwehr” him any second.

5. Man looks like the embodiment of Enjolras. (Performing his own song and him during Der letzte Tanz from Elisabeth das Musical CHECK IT OUT I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU TO)

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk on UwEnjolras, thank you, thank you.
