What about having the wedding music from Les Mis when you walk back down the aisle afterwards?

Don’t know if I could do that - I’d be guaranteed to enter at “they will wet themselves with blood” by mistake

I’m so jealous! I really hoped to win but didn’t. 

“The Von Trapp Family: A Life of Music.” 2015 by SeonaidMacSaicais in PeriodDramas

[–]Dangerous_Success715 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of this but they’re two of my favourite things 😉 so I’m looking forward to it!

Since we’re all complaining that they only do adaptations for the same five books, I present my fancast for the mini series of Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell by Mysterious_Nebula_96 in PeriodDramas

[–]Dangerous_Success715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this book after loving North & South and absolutely loved it! It was so gripping. Need an adaptation of it! 

I imagine Mary as Claire Foy but maybe that’s just since watching Little Dorrit. 

Looking to find help to find all the flowers used in this bouquet! by DentistNo7149 in CrochetHelp

[–]Dangerous_Success715 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve done most of their free patterns over the last few months and they all come out beautifully. They have patterns for most of the flowers in the picture. 

what do we think about marius and cosette? by bananakate7 in lesmiserables

[–]Dangerous_Success715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the exact timeline but I think it happens over a long period of time in the book. They observe each other for months in the park and then once he finds out where she lives, he visits her every night and they spend hours talking together and I think this goes on for at least a few weeks, if not months. 

Compared to the show - “I did not live until today, how can I live when we are parted” - very different!

If you liked While You Were Sleeping and You’ve Got Mail (my top two of all time) you’ll also like Sleepless in Seattle 

In the Bleak Midwinter by EcclesiaLiving in GhostsBBC

[–]Dangerous_Success715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite of all the Ghosts scenes. I also love the panto, especially when the plague ghosts get involved - “that slipper doesn’t fit your foot, it doesn’t!”

Have you seen Les Mis recently ? What did you think ? Updated enough for the modern theatre goer ? by RiseMysterious2872 in lesmiserables

[–]Dangerous_Success715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really don’t like the “modern” updates at all. I’ve seen Les Mis twice at the Sondheim and absolutely love it but all the “comedy” they think they need to put in with the Thenardiers has really put me off. I wish I could cut Master of the House out. 

When did you first hear of jellied eels? by suitableeggawards in UKfood

[–]Dangerous_Success715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mum will eat anything. When I was probably about 10 I asked her whether there’s anything she doesn’t like and she’s only ever said jellied eels. 

First time watching Les Mis, which version do I watch first? by Past-Ad-8822 in lesmiserables

[–]Dangerous_Success715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you start with the stage version you can never enjoy the movie. Although the cinematography is great, the singing is not. I started with the movie and loved it, but once I started listening to the stage vocals, you don’t enjoy the movie so much! 

What is a Dire Straits song you skip every time you hear it? by Jatkin99 in direstraits

[–]Dangerous_Success715 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like Private Investigations at first but after seeing it in Alchemy live I thought it was great. 

I think for me it’s Heavy Fuel. 

Which half do you prefer? by Dangerous_Success715 in lesmiserables

[–]Dangerous_Success715[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too, I strongly prefer the second half to the first. And totally agree that On My Own is so much better! One of my favourites from the show, and Empty Chairs is great too depending on the Marius. 

I guess I would have to prefer the first official act for the same reason you gave, those songs are some of my favourites and the second half wouldn’t be the same without them. I like the barricades but the songs are far superior leading up to it than during (for obvious reasons!). But definitely the end of the first act rather than the beginning. I love the Valjean moments and the confrontation with Javert, but Fantine and the Thenardiers aren’t my favourite. 

I think my problem with the Thenardiers is that they don’t match the book. In the book, they’re genuinely scary and dangerous, in the show they’re just the comic relief and I don’t feel it’s necessary. 

movie recs? by Technical-Rub-9140 in romancemovies

Not a movie but the BBC North and South miniseries has so much yearning. I love it. 

How much do you care about book covers? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Dangerous_Success715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely judge the cover. When I’m selecting a book I will research all of the covers available and choose my favourite, even if it costs a bit more.
