When the composers put this together it must have been a frenzied, sweatsoaked night of raging talent. Leading to a tiny kernel of the rarest of things. Pure musical glory.
We saw Les Mis in its first week at the Barbican, with Patti Lupone as Fantine, Roger Allan as Javert and Frances Ruffelle as Eponine. One Day More remains the outstanding song to end the first half of any show ever. The only one that has come close recently is “There’s a Storm A’Comin’ from Standing at the Sky’s Edge. That finishes early in August, but if you’re in London I thoroughly recommend it.
This is not singing… this is telling by words and by feelings the story of the moment. Of all the Stars version i have heard, this for me is the Javert of Le Mis.
2014 my senior year of high school I took a drama class. While we never actually did any stage plays my teacher exposed us to several great musicals and movies I've never heard, Les Miserables was one and I loved it so much I shared it with my sister and now every time we see each other we sing this 😂❤️
There, out in the darkness A fugitive running Fallen from God Fallen from grace God be my witness I never shall yield 'Til we come face to face 'Til we come face to face He knows his way in the dark Mine is the way of the Law Those who follow the path of the righteous Shall have their reward And if they fall as Lucifer fell The flames The sword! Stars In your multitudes Scarce to be counted Filling the darkness With order and light You are the sentinels Silent and sure Keeping watch in the night Keeping watch in the night You know your place in the sky You hold your course and your aim And each in your season Returns and returns And is always the same And if you fall as Lucifer fell You fall in flame! And so it must be, for so it is written On the doorway to paradise That those who falter and those who fall Must pay the price! Lord, let me find him That I may see him Safe behind bars I will never rest 'Til then This I swear This I swear by the stars!
Didnt get to be there personally, but doing the best i can by watching clip after clip of the wonderful performance.. i wish i could have been there in person.
