Holy crap... Enjolras is friends with/being influenced by Death... holy crap... musical theatre brain imploding from awesome and possible really dark implications... no wonder all the barricade boys died, Death was toying with their leader! And the times they almost kiss, the way Death doesn't really care that Enjolras got away because he knows that either way, Enjolras will be his very soon...
Honestly speaking in the movie production of POTO, Christine wear the costume of Sissi in Elisabeth when singing think of me ...(just reply Felice Yang's comment)
@@UnfortunateRamblings same! I've recently been collecting house camera/proshot bootlegs from different productions. I have the Vienna revival proshot (with Mate Kamaras) with subs, house camera vid of the original 1992 cast with subs and and u subbed house camera shot recording of the Flemish(Dutch?) Antwerp show with Oliver Arno. Unfortunatley a lost my old bootlegs, which is sad because I had the good Vienna subtitles as well as a full bootleg of the original 1999 Dutch Cast :(
I saw only Les Mis and honestly, it's like this person was like some old friend of Enjolras, someone who died, and he just can't let go of the memory? One of his little flaws? I'm not sure, just some weird fantasizing
Victor Hugo is totally spinning in his grave. Which is not a bad thing ... I appreciate the blunt honesty after stripping down the glorious mantles of slogans and ideologies. People rise and grab power not because they are sublime but because they are afraid and, moreover, want to be emperors themselves. Cynical but true.
Enjolras never wanted to *be* an emperor, though. If he had, then he would not have come up with the plans to just build barricades around the city and see how long he and his allies could hold out against the National Guard because he knew they wouldn't last. Why rely on a plan that is definitely going to get you killed if you want to come out of it not only alive but a ruler? No, his goal was always to be a martyr, to set a fire in people's hearts and make them see that France needed to be liberated and at least somewhat equalized! And guess what? It worked! The next major revolution France had was the last, and they became and are still a republic today because of it. Enjolras was not Napoleon; he was a true hero.
Well this is just my cynical nature speaking ... you never know how low people will sink until they sunk in front of you. So I wouldn't hold on to too much hope. In any kind of interpretation, yours or mine, I think it's always fair to say that Enjolras was tempted by La Mort. And that "Every man will be a king" line in "One Day More" definitely sounds more than suspicious to me. BTW I see Napoleon as a true hero, not Enjolras. It's nice to see there's someone out there not as cynical as I am!
+Itsuka Shimotsuki Enjolras does not want power. He doesn't belief himself worth more than anyone else. As soon as he kills someone at the barricade, he makes the decision that he must die also. He himself had no intention of surviving the barricade, and therefore no plans of becoming king
I think this was a performance they did for the German version of Miscast? Alternatively, it was something they did for fun after a performance of Les Mis since they had the original actor for Death playing the role of Javert and one of the guys who had played Rudolf playing Enjolras.
It was a sort of musical crossover concert (if I remember correctly, they also had the ensemble from Les Mis singing Cell Block Tango). In the video above they're singing the famous der Tod and Crown Prince Rudolf duet in Elisabeth das Musical. The singers here are Uwe Kröger (the original der Tod), and Martin Pasching (who played Rudolf's role in one of Elisabeth productions). Respectively, they also played the role of Javert and Enjolras in the German production of Les Mis.
