Yep. :) As an extreme introvert, doing this sort of thing would terrify me completely.... so the day I did this with a local theatre group, as Marius, will be a day I never forget. :)
Props to Valjean, who endured being just a dork singing at the mall until Marius showed up and people realized it was actually a flash mob. Also his voice nearly brings the roof down, my God.
David G. No, no they aren’t they sang it then re sang it in a studio and the people put that audio over this video so it was clear but they actually sang it in front of this crowd
@@lasktdave Colm Wilkinson has a higher voice than the Valjean in this one. My voice is exactly like Colm Wilkinson's when singing. This Valjean is a baritone-tenor while Wilkinson is a tenor.
David G. No, I don’t think you understand how sound works. Unless they put speakers inside of their bodies, the placement of sound would be absolutely obvious if it were from the speakers playing the music
A BIG shout out to *The Orlando Shakespear Theater* for such a brilliant rendition of this song. This is £100 a seat stuff. Their voices are that good! They are all absolutely brilliant! *Bravo!*
I felt so bad for that dude and his daughter I didn’t understand why they weren’t moving out of the way and then half way through I realized they were in it.
LOL . . . I am "that guy" . . . my daughter Ellie, was "Young Cosette" in the production and I was Fauchelevant in another local production of this show and was invited to participate in it. I was just standing there because I had just had my gall bladder removed 20 hours before this event and was still in my surgical bandages. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. :) LOL . . . I am super proud of my firstborn baby girl--the only child actor in the production who was invited to be a part of the flashmob. She was amazingly professional for a 9 year old. She's now almost 14 . . . I will treasure this forever.
01:14 Holy crap!! I've heard lots of people singing this part of Éponine lamenting her life, but I've never heard someone build up the volume on that last note, like this women does!! It's like wow!!! Is it ever going to stop growing louder?!? It's amazing!! What a voice!!
@@ireallyhateyouplsdieinafir107Why did you feel the need to come and lie under every comment, degrading an amazing performance? That’s not Lea’s voice.
@@ireallyhateyouplsdieinafir107 She is not lip syncing. This is a well-known American theatre troupe, they have American accents (the original recording is done by Brits), they make mistakes, they have intonation problems (though minor and they sound terrific), but they are most definitely live. You can tell straight away by the acoustics and how the sound reverbs. A recording wouldn't reverberate sound the way real humans do. It's really sad to me how many people have such poor music listening skills.
You HAVE to be kidding me. This was off the charts excellent. These shoppers just got first class entertainment just for being there. I cannot believe how GOOD these singers were.
I noticed that too, but their voices are SO clear. I have a sneaking feeling that either this is a studio recording superimposed over the video or that they all wore individual microphones. When you listen to it, especially at the beginning, you don't even hear the chatter or clamour of a busy mall, so it seems suspicious.
Wow...this is a five star flashmob....awesome voices, acting the parts, not just singing. This group deserves their own production if they dont already have one
i was in a concert version recently and i got to be the flag guy. it was awesome. we did held off until the final "OOOOOONEEEE DAAAAAY (boom theres the flag) MOOOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOOOORE"
I would totally be the broadway nerd who joins in even though I wasn't part of the flash mob. "Wait a second, you're not the girl who's supposed to be singing Cosette's part..." Haha
+SlowxParentsCrossing That's ok, I'll be on the other side singing the Eponine part when I'm not supposed to. Afterwards, we could go get smoothies or something. Random, do you think they have permission, I notice security never shoos anyone away.
+sate Cain and then we became best friends forever lmao. I'm not sure about the mall security part though. Can you get kicked out of the mall for singing? Either way I'm sure they got permission first just to avoid a "confrontation" 😂
Everyone's going on about Javert and Cosette and Eponine and them, but can we pause for a moment and talk about Valjean??? Literally every time he sings "One Day More" at the end it gives me chillssssss ahh
I've seen Le Miz about 10 times over the years, from broadway touring companies to local theater and this rendition of One Day More is one the best I've ever heard! I rewatch this several time a week. Bravo!!!
At first I thought it was really great lip-synching, but it didn't take long for me to figure out this was real. Mind Blown. I would not be surprised if this is the actual broadway crew.
Well maybe not exactly Broadway, but they are the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre group. I thought at first they were doing it OST style or were lip-synching.
You know what else is so good about this "flash mob"---besides all the talent? The recording of the performance is first rate! You can hear what the performers are singing, i.e., all clear, easily understood, no background interference, etc. A great job by the artists AND the recording people!
Yeah but where are their microphones hidden then? They dont have little headsets or mics in their shirtcollar. Makes it likely they we lipsyncing. Or am i just not seeing their mics
Otaku Kani it would have been amazing if he'd been chased down and arrested for stealing the flag while they were singing. Really would have fit the Les Mis theme too.
David G. Definitely NOT lol, Colm Wilkinson cannot touch those low notes, OBC Enjolras and Marius are baritones, and the choices for the ending tempos are completely different. Don’t take away from these amazing performances.

I've yet to come across a rendition of this piece that doesn't bring tears to my eyes. I'd go so far as to say that Les Miserables is the greatest complete musical work that has ever been written, or at the very least the greatest one I've ever had the privilege to hear.
I couldn't agree more it's my favourite musical ever and it truly is an incredible piece of theatre. The songs are all so poignant and characters so well developed its an all round amazing piece of art! 🌟🙌🏼
I have been following Les Mis since its inception with The Royal Shakespeare Company,30 years back,and I'm reduced to tears each time I hear any version of this rousing song.
I would have loved and been so incredibly honoured to have caught this! Floods of tears just watching and think about people who are listening live who financially will never otherwise have the chance.
I know you wrote this 7 years ago but you didn't need the qualifier, "for local theater". These folks are amazing, full stop. Any of them could slide in to Broadway or Apollo Victoria and no one would bat an eye. That it's a local production just means the locals are lucky and should take advantage by seeing them often.
In case you don't realize that's Davis Gaines singing the role of Javert. He played the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway probably longer than anyone else in the history of the show. He is a brilliant brilliant tenor.
for some reason I feel like she forgot why she was at the mall in the first place so she just bought some starbucks but then realised where she was meant to be and was like "oh shoot! I was meant to be at the thing but I'm holding starbucks....Oh screw em I can sing and hold starbucks"
I'm in tears. . The tears of unrelented joy, I can't express this kind of joy I just experienced 😊😊.. these shoppers are so lucky to receive a world class entertainment 🎁
My favourite Musical of all time - and I’ve seen many (just edging out Fiddler on the Roof). I think I’ve seen Les Miz 4 or 5 times…it never gets old. This Company just freakin NAILED that. Awesome voices. What a TREAT for those in the Mall that day. As someone else posted - that was a $110. a seat quality. Well Done, All !
Anyone else notices that the dad and girl, in the beginning, were a part of the show? I just thought for the past five years that they were innocent bystanders that just got bombarded by people in Florida singing about the french revolution.
Yeah it's Young Cosette from the show and her real life dad, helping to record the singing with his phone (he answered my post elsewhere here, seemed real).
It wasn't until the second or third time I watched that I realized she is young Cosette / Eponine. I bet it was fun for her dad to be part of the song.
WHY IS IT THAT IN EVERY SINGLE LES MIS PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER SEEN ENJOLRAS IS ALWAYS HOT AS HELL?! I MEAN I KNOW HE WAS DISCRIBED AS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL IN THE BRICK BUT C'MON. THIS ENJOLRAS IS ALSO SO HOT WHAT THE FUCCCCC
I read the unabridged version, and never knew it was called the Brick....so appropriate. And you need to check out the Polish flash mob from Warsaw, it's my favorite one, even though I don't speak a word of Polish (outside of certain swear words my friends have taught me). ruclips.net/video/DXgCrhIevwU/видео.html
Wow, wish I could have seen this. Absolutely amazing voices, with the individual members parts being perfectly sang. A very highly done performance I’m sorry I missed.
Eponine with a drink cup and straw--just added to the wonderfulness of these great people! I guess Enjolras always has to be great looking! In the cosmic contract!
so so good and the last bit when they start 'marching' to the crescendo makes me shiver,how many times have I watched this I never get tired, fabulous, well done to all

No singing. They're all mouthing to the original cast performance.

Actually it's incredibly easy. Play the music over a loud speaker and they lipsynch to it. Literally simple.
David G. No, I don’t think you understand how sound works. Unless they put speakers inside of their bodies, the placement of sound would be absolutely obvious if it were from the speakers playing the music
Cherry Fries all I have to do is look at their lips to see they are lip singing

WHAT IS WITH ENJOLRAS AND BEING HOT WHAT THE FUCK
The guy's name is Matt Mcmahan. He's an actor.
I thought he was too young, should have been Marius.
Twenty Two Jetskis ikr
Twenty Two Jetskis OHMYGOD I KNOW RIGHT? he kinda looks like Logan Lerman
Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, and Les Mis....... Can I be your best friend?
Not gonna lie, this is my favorite song on the entire soundtrack. It has always struck something deep within me.
Same here, along with "Do You Hear The People Sing"
This song is, in my estimation, in maybe a 3 or 4 way tie for Best Act One Closer in musical history.
I've yet to come across a rendition of this piece that doesn't bring tears to my eyes. I'd go so far as to say that Les Miserables is the greatest complete musical work that has ever been written, or at the very least the greatest one I've ever had the privilege to hear.
I couldn't agree more it's my favourite musical ever and it truly is an incredible piece of theatre. The songs are all so poignant and characters so well developed its an all round amazing piece of art! 🌟🙌🏼
donna laino Yes?
I have been following Les Mis since its inception with The Royal Shakespeare Company,30 years back,and I'm reduced to tears each time I hear any version of this rousing song.
Kansasforlife Somehow the unity of voices just bowls me over
Kansasforlife j
I would have loved and been so incredibly honoured to have caught this! Floods of tears just watching and think about people who are listening live who financially will never otherwise have the chance.
高校の時レミゼが大好きで寝ても醒めてもレミゼだった。
卒業して少し離れてこの自粛期間にいきなりおすすめに出てきた。すごいって感動した鳥肌が立った。何故か自然に涙が出て胸がきゅってなった。頑張らなきゃ、わたし。
"UGH i hate musicals like who breaks outt into song randomly?!"
me: *shows this video*
well that is 🎶the stupidest thing that i have ever heard🎶
When you shouldn't hit "reply." When you're peeing all over 10,000,000 people's Wheaties.
you're doing a play, got something to say, so you sing it???? it's OBSURD!!!
Real life would be so much better if people randomly breaked out into song whenever emotion got to out hand
bean tree if you can,t say anything nice ...shutup!!!
For local theater these guys are amazing.
TristanandIsolt I think local theaters really do great things. They're really good and create magical atmospheres.
local theatre produces some of the greatest magic that goes unnoticed by the rest of the world!
I know you wrote this 7 years ago but you didn't need the qualifier, "for local theater". These folks are amazing, full stop. Any of them could slide in to Broadway or Apollo Victoria and no one would bat an eye. That it's a local production just means the locals are lucky and should take advantage by seeing them often.
@@seanaguilar2057 They're not Broadway/West End good.
In case you don't realize that's Davis Gaines singing the role of Javert. He played the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway probably longer than anyone else in the history of the show. He is a brilliant brilliant tenor.
His voice was definitely the one that stood out to me, levels above the rest!
え、この動画初めて見たけど……
声量凄すぎて……響き渡ってる
凄く感動した
この場にいれたらいいなぁぁ
えぇぇカッコイイ……
What he/she said.
Ranelle Jerome 😂
蝶の翅asmr だよな〜 同じ感じてる
え？どうみても口パクじゃないですかこれ？

Eponine holding Starbucks is the only thing I need in life
for some reason I feel like she forgot why she was at the mall in the first place so she just bought some starbucks but then realised where she was meant to be and was like "oh shoot! I was meant to be at the thing but I'm holding starbucks....Oh screw em I can sing and hold starbucks"
i started screaming and my dad just came in and with his limited English speaking abilities he quietly said "are you... idiot?" im hyperventilating
Your dad is awesome.
Twenty One Phantoms of the Opera I see you in the comment section of like anything that has to do with les mis
I relate so much to your username and your comment
This is my all-time favorite musical. I only have one word to describe this performance... CHILLS!
This was the song that got me hooked on Les Mis more than 30 years ago. It still gives me goosebumps.
For me it was do you hear the people sing? Great song.
Me too
Shoplifters must've had a field day during this hahaha
Utube Filler OMG!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was in the center by the front entrance. Not many stores right there. Mostly restaurants.
They're called Thenadiers
Was there a witness to this? Well, let him speak to Javert
@@davidholmgren8156
But they will answer to the court only when there is made a full report !
my favorite flash mob ever.
Mine too 😊😊
+Lotte Larsen I love les mis
Made me smile in 2021 and everyone needs that closeness again x
I don't know why I lost it when the dude started waving the flag 😂
Crona J. SAME!!😭😂
It's a good thing he woke up that day and said "ya know what i think i'll bring my big red flag to the mall today just 'cause"
Eponine with a starbucks lol that made me laugh
エポニーヌ歌うますぎる……
アンジョルラスめちゃくちゃかっこいい……
ジャベールイケおじ……
テナルディエ夫妻の強欲感……
最高
I'm in tears. .
The tears of unrelented joy, I can't express this kind of joy I just experienced 😊😊.. these shoppers are so lucky to receive a world class entertainment 🎁
just imagining if when they stopped singing there was an akward silence 😂 😂
Ellie Mills
Ellie Mills if that happened it would be time for the human race to check out.
Ellie Mills lol
And then that one person (all of us) starts cheering their butt off
Isabella Phillips feel like that would be me. No one appreciates musicals at my school. There are maybe like 5 people who like hamilton
I love that this is still getting comments four years on. It's sooo good...
I love how they just walk away like that amazing thing didn't happen
That's the point of a flash mob, you act like it never happened after
My favourite Musical of all time - and I’ve seen many (just edging out Fiddler on the Roof). I think I’ve seen Les Miz 4 or 5 times…it never gets old. This Company just freakin NAILED that. Awesome voices. What a TREAT for those in the Mall that day. As someone else posted - that was a $110. a seat quality. Well Done, All !
Anyone else notices that the dad and girl, in the beginning, were a part of the show? I just thought for the past five years that they were innocent bystanders that just got bombarded by people in Florida singing about the french revolution.
Yeah it's Young Cosette from the show and her real life dad, helping to record the singing with his phone (he answered my post elsewhere here, seemed real).
It wasn't until the second or third time I watched that I realized she is young Cosette / Eponine. I bet it was fun for her dad to be part of the song.
I've seen endless versions of this song, stage, movie, flashmob. But that was easily the best final chord I've heard
WHY IS IT THAT IN EVERY SINGLE LES MIS PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER SEEN ENJOLRAS IS ALWAYS HOT AS HELL?! I MEAN I KNOW HE WAS DISCRIBED AS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL IN THE BRICK BUT C'MON. THIS ENJOLRAS IS ALSO SO HOT WHAT THE FUCCCCC
In the brick? I'm guessing you meant book?
@@ludameri1384 yeah fans call the book "the brick" because it's so fuckin big
@@Dani-it9vc ooh, thanks for the info, I can see why it's called the brick it's massive
I read the unabridged version, and never knew it was called the Brick....so appropriate. And you need to check out the Polish flash mob from Warsaw, it's my favorite one, even though I don't speak a word of Polish (outside of certain swear words my friends have taught me).
ruclips.net/video/DXgCrhIevwU/видео.html
The brick! Lol true!
I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this! It is just so wonderful. And the voices!!!
Flag game is strong!
IKR
had to rewatch.. you are right!
Color guard.
Waved it way too early tho
Wrong colour though
0:51 that gal jumping on the left though
WOAH REALIZED SHE'S ONE OF THE SINGERS AT 2:31
GreyWolfEmber thx for the time stamp
How on Earth can someone give a thumb down to this performance???
I didn't notice until you mentioned it, over a thousand... Wow!
Well some people couldn't hear themselves while SPEAKING TO THE MANAGER!
@@rickiebobbyify 😂 Well thanks for that flash of laughter! xD
I have no idea 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, wish I could have seen this. Absolutely amazing voices, with the individual members parts being perfectly sang. A very highly done performance I’m sorry I missed.
声量凄まじいし、歌い終わったあと何事も無かったかのようにはけるのもかっこいいけど、何より驚いたのは巻き込まれた感のある親子があの中に混じってたこと。
Song makes me cry every time. For 25 years.
Me 2. Everytime when everyone is singing "Tomorrow we'll discover what our god in heaven has in store." tears start running.
+ReallyRick Me, too, Rick. This and "Bring Him Home" which is my absolute favorite and also
"I Dreamed A Dream".
There are some hot, hot guys in this theatre company.... Oh, and good singers too!
some hot girls too. that chick in the blue dress. she was fiiiine.
I thought the same. The blond is hot.

7年も前の投稿なのに、、感動ありがと‼︎
力が湧き上がってくる前向きになれる‼︎
この人達のステージ上での劇がみたい‼︎
I can't believe I live in Orlando and go to this mall all the time and I'm only just now finding out about this
Oh God, how awful. It would be like winning the lottery and losing the ticket!
Eponine with a drink cup and straw--just added to the wonderfulness of these great people!
I guess Enjolras always has to be great looking! In the cosmic contract!
Isn't it nice when a Flash Mob is actually done by professionals? :-)
I'm so glad this was recommended to me.
Enjolras was always my favorite and still is.
K Lu same!!!
Ye ye just walking round the mall casually with an ice tea...then casually just step forward and let that belt out of u....
I’m sorry but I died when I saw the person with the flag _flying_ to their place😂😂😂
Did you see the bouncing girl at the end? She hopped on out of there at 3:39 !
What would have made it funny if it had been a flag for the mall and then some guy dressed all official ran in and tried to retrieve it
so so good and the last bit when they start 'marching' to the crescendo makes me shiver,how many times have I watched this I never get tired, fabulous, well done to all
