Les Misérables for Dummies

So I know that there are probably a million of these floating around the Internet ... but this is the Les Mis parody that's currently being sent around to everyone in the cast and crew of our production. And it makes me laugh. So I thought I'd share Smile

Thanks for posting this!

This line made me curious as well as laugh:

Eponine wrote:
How the hell did our ex-slave grow up to be so hot?


I'm only familiar with the TAC version of the musical, and I'm *cough*way through the novel. Is there any moment in either which is rougly equivalent to this? Does Eponine even recognise grown-up, non-starved Cosette? Does she whinge about her? Do we see the two characters interact with each other, either as children or as adults? How do they treat each other?

I presume it's a summary of Eponine's musing to herself at the start of "Eponine's Errand" (comes after "Stars") -- "Cosette! Now I remember / Cosette! How can it be? / We were children together / Look what's become of me..."

In the productions I've seen, most have little Eponine taunting little Cosette while Mme T fusses over her. Their older counterparts don't interact in depth -- they see each other face-to-face towards the end of "The Attack on Rue Plumet" (Marius quickly introduces them -- "Dearest Cosette / My friend 'Ponine / Brought me to you / Showed me the way") but I guess it's up to the director whether or not Cosette makes the connection.

What you should do is act adorable, Cosette.
