Artist's Comments

The other people in the house are running around getting ready to go to a club, where I'm also going, but I really wanted to finish this first, so I'm still wearing my thermals and vest and old jeans.
I just thought you should know.

Last night I went to see Les Mis! And since I'm in London, it was the new London cast (obviously), and I adored every second of it.
If you really, honest-to-god want to hear my thoughts, here's a long journal entry I wrote on the production: [link]

Anyway, this Cosette isn't real, but I tried to draw Marius as well as I could from memory. God, he was perfect.

At any rate, if you know what this scene is, you get a cookie!

People try and make Erik sexy. He's not. I mean, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not attracted to men who are missing parts of their face.

Les Miiis. <3 Really awesome picture, too!

*jealous* Les Miserables is my favorite musical of all time (well, co-favorite with Phantom of the Opera and Sweeney Todd), and I've never even SEEN the damn thing! I know it very well indeed because I was in a production, but I've never actually WATCHED it. Listening to the soundtrack makes me want to cry because of all the memories.

I could gush forever, but I won't do it here. I will say that I like seeing Marius/Cosette stuff because poor Cosette usually gets the short shrift and many Eponine fans resent her for no good reason - Cosette did not "take Marius away" from Eponine, he wouldn't have fallen for her anyway. It makes SO much more sense for M & C to be together, especially if you read the book.

Oh, yay~ I'm glad you agree! One of the biggest things that rubs me the wrong way with Mizzies is the undeserved hatred of Cosette-- as if it's impossible to like both her and Eponine at once, which is beyond me.
This production, thankfully, resolved the love triangle problem (I felt) by being more true to the book, and having Eponine be visibly at least five or six years younger than M & C. It made it less about Marius being a bastard who doesn't ever notice this girl who's throwing herself at him, and more about Marius not noticing a Little Sister figure who is far too young for him and whom he'd never look at Like That anyway.
I thought it really worked, and for the first-timers watching it, I would think they got a better understanding than the people who see that Eponine and Cosette are the same age and assume it's a class issue instead of another factor.

That's enough ranting! n.n Thanks for the comment.

Why does everyone hate Cosette so much? I think she was a really sweet character.
