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.

ok my first comment ever. freaking awesome.
ReplyDeleteoh 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.
ReplyDeletea 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 . . .
I effing love that you posted that. (quietly at first, then with growing emotion). In fact, I was thinking of you when I posted.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you have a Broadway throw blanket?
