Javert and Valjean

Right now, our loyal reader, The Dootz, is waiting behind a velvet rope to see "I Love You Man" on opening night in Manhattan. And though I do admit that I made fun of her for being first in line (a good hour early for this movie), I admit the error of my ways. May I present Paul Rudd and Jason Segel singing "The Confrontation" from Les Miserables.

  2. oh yes and in the spirit of this clip, my favorite part of a musical to re-enact will always be the song "I Still Believe" from Miss Saigon.

    a good second runner up is track down this murdered in Phantom where the phantom, christine and raoul all sing. I will refresh your memory. haha this will be the last time you post about a musical lol

    CHRISTINE (to the PHANTOM)
    The tears I might have shed
    for your dark fate
    grow cold, and turn to tears
    of hate . . .
    RAOUL (despairing)
    Christine, forgive
    me please forgive me . . .
    I did it all
    for you, and all for
    nothing . . .
    CHRISTINE (looking at the PHANTOM but to
    herself)
    Farewell
    my fallen idol
    and false friend . . .
    One by one
    I've watched
    illusions shattered . . .
    PHANTOM
    Past all hope
    of cries for help:
    no point in fighting -
    RAOUL
    Either way
    you choose,
    he has to win . . .
    PHANTOM
    For either way
    you choose,
    you cannot win!
    So, do you end
    your days with me,
    or do you send
    him to his grave?
    RAOUL (to PHANTOM)
    Why make her lie
    to you, to save
    me?
    CHRISTINE
    Angel of Music . . .
    PHANTOM
    Past the point
    of no return -
    RAOUL
    For pity's sake,
    Christine, say no!
    CHRISTINE
    . . . why this torment?
    PHANTOM
    . . . the final threshold . . .
    RAOUL
    Don't throw your life
    away for my sake . . .
    CHRISTINE
    When will you see
    reason . . .?
    PHANTOM
    His life is now the prize
    which you must earn!
    RAOUL
    I fought so hard
    to free you . . .
    CHRISTINE
    Angel of Music . . .
    PHANTOM
    You've passed the point
    of no return . . .
    CHRISTINE
    . . . you deceived me -
    I gave my mind
    blindly . . .
    PHANTOM (to CHRISTINE)
    You try my patience -
    make your choice!
    (She reflects for a moment, then with resolution moves
    slowly towards the PHANTOM)
    CHRISTINE (quietly at first, then with growing
    emotion)
    Pitiful creature
    of darkness . . .
    What kind of life
    have you known . . .?
    God give me courage
    to show you
    you are not
    alone . . .

  3. I effing love that you posted that. (quietly at first, then with growing emotion). In fact, I was thinking of you when I posted.

    Didn't you have a Broadway throw blanket?
