All I really ask for is racial consistency between parents and children. If we're going for historical accuracy, Marius and the Bishop probably wouldn't be black, and Fantine is described as blond, but there's no reason we can't have a black Enjolras or Thenardier (and then Eponine).īesides, theater is about suspension of disbelief. Except that Javert was the son of a gypsy. If we're throwing that description out the window, we might as well forget all the race descriptions - which Victor Hugo never specifies. If I remember correctly, Victor Hugo describes Enjolras as fair-haired, but all the high-profile actors who've played him I can think of off the top of my head have had dark hair. There were black people in France in that time.

Don't flaunt your knowledge over others or point out their lack of in a rude way. There are some people here who are new to it all, some people here who know musicals all too well. We all love musicals, either watching, listening, performing, discussing, or all four. Everyone on this page is here for a similar reason. Additionally, we hold a Listening Club thread to talk in depth about one particular musical and what we like/don't like/would change about it. Join us here to celebrate musical theater, the shows and composers we love, the actors and actresses who draw us into their worlds, and the technical gurus who transport us from where we are to where the authors want us to be.Įach week, we hold a "What Are You Listening To This Week" thread to chat about what's been cycling on our listening devices.
