It nice to hear Epione line, it’s so annoying how modern performances leave out that line, making it seem that Marius completely forgets about her now that she’s dead
"clear away the barricade and we're still there" is maybe my favorite line in the entire show. not sure why, but it always lands with a punch. the cockroaches...
I find it very interesting how the lyrics and portrayals change between different versions of the show especially for the Thenardiers. Sometimes they swap who says what lines between them and all sorts of good stuff. Compare this to the 2012 movie which I know isn't popular but it seems Monsieur Thenardier is visibly surprised that the "dead" guy was Marius, this one he seems oblivious and Marius' pontificating about it is to himself . His "no" to the ring being his and their general reactions show their wheels turning. This version talks about Jean Valjean being his father in law but newer version don't say that. Makes the whole angle a bit different and less clear in the later versions. I love in the 2020 version that Madame Thenardier just busts a gut laughing when Monsieur Thenardier gets hit. Their relationship seems a bit more antagonistic despite sticking together and being partners in crime as well as husband and wife.
Considering the original characters in the book are Parisian French, speaking with any kind of American accent is no less of a stretch than portraying them as Cockney.
@@that_one_guy_you_walk_past I mean.. it’s a French musical, made by a French composer, no reason that they have to be cockney besides the original English performance on broadway doing it. Its only purpose is as a class indicator, so Midwest farmer works roughly as well
I didn't like these Thenardiers at first in Master of the House, but by the time we get to this they've already had me rolling in the aisles laughing. The voices are very much a matter of one's preference but this is an absolute master class on how to incorporate physical comedy into a character without ruining the vicious shyster aspect they have
These Thenardiers aren't as pleasing on the ear, but I'd say they're a riot in the best way. EDIT: I've changed my mind, Drew is actually pretty good musically in this. He's just doing a funny accent.

I didn’t even realize that was a part of it I feel so robbed

It sums up a sad side of this world, eh.
Oh, they’re grotesque but I kinda love them. Love this Marius. Also damn, the makeup on the other two is a lot this close up
I played Thenardier in high school, probably one of the most fun performances I’ll ever be able to perform!

Wow, the Thenardier are much less Cockney and much more farming couple from the American Midwest in this version, lol.

@@ACMallet Well no, it’s a cockney musical intended to be used with a cockney accent
