Curtain call Les Mis

Posted: 1/19/05 at 11:19pm

Anyone know the order of a curtain call for this show? Obviously, Valjean is dead last, then probably Javert before him... but I don't really know the order. [In case you're confused, in curtain call... the biggest lead goes last, and the smallest goes first after the choruses... then the curtain call goes from smallest main leads --> the biggest one]

Here are the main lead character names:
Valjean
Javert
Eponine
Marius
Fantine
Thenardier
Enjolras
Mdm. Thenardier
Gavroche
Cosette

Thanks in advance... kangaroo

Except on Broadway and the national Tour, Little Cosette (and Little Eponine) often didn't take a curtain call at all. They had the option of going home early, since they are done with their roles nearly 2 hours before the show ends.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

You went to Pittsburgh? Some of the members of the cast went to see the show on the Saturday before you went.

Thanks guys for all ur help... I don't see why Marius & Cosette would be right before Valjean, I hope that's not how it is in our show.

Little Cosette and Gavroche
Grantaire
Madame Thenadier
Enjolras
Cosette
Eponine
Fantine
Marius
Thenadier
Javert

EponineThen is dead on balls (My cousin Vinney - yes!) accurate....

Only little Eponine didn't usually come out...

I'm not sure if Little Cosette did her own bow or not...but that's the corrects order, as Eponine said.

Is Les Miserabless The one in the opera house that Michael Crawfurd was in originally?

Ummm... was that a serious question? If it was, no that is not the show. That is the Phantom of the Opera. Les Miz is different.

Les Miz is better!

Nick Wyman (my favorite Thenardier) was on L&O last night.

I turned to my roommate and said (edited version), "That's Nick Wyman!" Then I preceded to show him a picture of Nick.

Thesbijean, those were weird curtain calls! Javert should definitely go second-to-last. I would have been pretty pissed if a director did that to me. I have gotten screwed on curtain call order before though--not that it really means anything. But I'm an actor, how can I not be at least a little vain?

I missed the beginning (He was playing a doctor involved with the case) - but I saw him at the end.

I have seen him 3 times in Les Mis and 1 time in Sly Fox.

(In fact, I only became interested in SF when I saw that Wyman was going to be in it)

I even have his autograph on my Les Mis playbill....He is TALL as HELL!

I especially love his interperation with Javert.
" it was me who told you so". Then he add " sorry."
haha, that is funny.

I dont' really understand why Eponine and Fantine come out together... they don't even know each other in the show at all.

They come out together because they are the diva and mini-diva who sing the two songs everyone knows from the show.

And they both die.

As someone once told me, Eponine and Fantine are the tragic heroines (sp?) of the story. I personally would love to see Eponine and Marius take the bow before Javert and Valjean because they had so much interaction AND Fantine and Cosette take their bow together because they are smaller parts and they are mother and daughter.


Little Eponine and Cosette are cast with two girls. And they switch off every night. One will be Little Cosette one night then the other will be Little Eponine the next night. So they both have an equal amount of stage time. Though not in the same performance.

sanda...more like "it was me who tol....sorry"


Well, Fantine and Eponine come out together at the end of the show, everything Eponine Thenardier said (once again)....

My mom used to know Nick Wyman and his wife when she lived in New York--he would donate "Les Mis" stuff to this charity auction every year (I don't know why I'm sharing this, I'm just bored).

Nice story...

Nick is cool, from when I met him.

Hope he finds himself back on broadway soon...
