Is it true that this song was cut from the new "revival" version of Les Mis????

Yep.

Gavroche "sings" the 1984 version of "Ten Little Bullets"

Ali Ewoldt said so herself.

The Gavroche song does not appear in the rest of the show: I actually don’t know anything about its origins, but it seems closer to the intention of the novel. I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but the actual “Little People” section of his solo is cut, so it also wouldn’t make sense to have a reprise.

He still sings
"Good evening dear inspector, lovely evening..."
Through
"It only goes to show what little people can do"

Then the chorus for that was dropped, which I guess is what she was talking about. When she wrote that blog I assumed that the entire section was gone.

And then he sings the "Ten Little Bullets" business when he goes to get the ammo.

Me too, I thought this was gonna be about the strange phenom of so many dwarfs and midgets recently attending Broadway shows.
