I can't imagine the bows being the same as they are in the original Broadway/London/Tour production. What order do you think they'll do it in?

Off the top of my head, flawed, and probably forgetting quite a few characters-
Various ensemble groups
Gavroche + Little Cosette
Thenardier + Mme. Thenardier
Cosette
Enjrolas (sp
Marius
Eponine
Fantine
Javert
Jean Valjean

Posted: 8/14/06 at 9:57pmLittle Cosette & Eponine, the Thenardiers, Enjolras & Gavroche bow together, Eponine & Fantine bow together, Marius & Cosette bow together, then Javert and Valjean solo.

Posted: 8/14/06 at 10:21pmAt evening shows there is/was no bow for either Young Cosette or Young Eponine unless it was a special night -- they can go home when they're done with their scenes.

It has always started with: 1.)female ensemble (and kids if they stay)2)Thenardier's gang (4 men) 3) Male ensemble( all the students) 3.) Enjolras and Gavroche 4)Marius and Cosette 5.) the Thenardiers 6)Fantine and Eponine 7) Javert 
Valjean. I doubt it will change. It has always confused me that the thenardiers came after marius and cosette,but I guess the character people are usually older,and more crowd-pleasing; therefore granted that respect... even though besides Valjean, Marius does the most.

Posted: 8/15/06 at 12:04amI always found it odd that they made the actor playing Enjrolas share his bow with the little kid playing Gavroche. I mean, it's cute, but not really fair.

We think about it and are concerned because we care, JasonM12480.
Ugh- I forgot to list them in the right order in my previous post. My mom was distracting me with an article on STUDIO 60

Posted: 8/15/06 at 9:53amEVen though it doesn't seem fair,when Enjolras and Gavroche bow together the audience goes WILD, and not for the adult actor...

I don't think anyone is thinking about curtain call so hard that it's impeding their enjoyment of the show. But it certainly is something to think about when you're a repeat viewer!
