The woman playing Eponine reminds me of Enid from Legally Blonde... I can't put my finger on whether it's the same actress. (And, I realize, how sad is it that I must specify, Legally Blonde the film, not the musical...)
Absolutely LOVE the Palin/McCain portrayers. Hah.

This is lovely. My sister and I can't stop watching it. My favourite is Enjolras, though I love the eerily accurate Sarah Palin, the robot McCain Javert, the way Valjean kept popping into the frame, the way Eponine stood up on the chair near the end, and the frighteningly well-cast Marius and Cosette.
And now I gave the whole video away.
When the song started playing, my sister said, "Hmm, not a very good impersonation of Colm Wilkinson." I had to gently tell her that the guy was lip-syncing to Gary Morris.

Posted: 9/10/08 at 4:08pmI totally saw McCain & Palin coming from a mile away. It is TOO funny.

I propose that all political ads from now until November are done as showtune parodies. Bonus points to the party that has the balls to do Starlight Express.
Politicians on rollerskates? I say YES.

Posted: 9/10/08 at 5:00pmLet us just hope that this election doesn't end in tragedy like this show...

Posted: 9/10/08 at 5:07pmI would really like to see them do a series. "A New Argentina" starring John McCain as Peron, Sarah as Eva, & Barack as Che.

And they used the CSR. It's the tiny details that make me happy.

It seems like he always has a new cup of coffee every time he does!
I think my favourite part of all, though, is how Cosette's head turns right when Enjolras comes in.

FANTASTIC IDEA!
Had lots more potential, but just didn't quite get there.
Could have/SHOULD have been much, much funnier, but kudos for the fun effort!
:)

Posted: 9/10/08 at 10:34pmOK, normally I don't enjoy stuff like this because they're just not funny, but THIS WAS EFFIN BRILLIANT.

Posted: 9/10/08 at 11:39pmdid anybody notice that when McCain walks into the office he does not have an Obama/Biden Sticker on but in the next shot he does
