[@fatalfront]

Ramin as usual exudes leading character material but Hadley? He's like the adonis of the musical stage, has never failed to give the audience a deep impression of the character he's playing no matter how short the lines are. Lucky to those who had the chance to watch him play Javert and Ramin as JVJ.

[@lilymae3762]

i know, their relationship just makes me 😭😻😭😻 and also ur completely right about nick jonas, i don’t think he was right for the part honestly in my opinion he ruins the 25th anniversary concert for me. his voice was too squeaky and teenage-popstar-ish 💘 but ramin and hadley as enjolras and grantaire is PERRFFEECCTTT 😻😻

[@brianappleby5112]

We were at this concert and it was fantastic apart from Nick Jonas. The only reason we could think of for Cameron Mackintosh casting him was to sell tickets to young people but they needn’t have worried it would have sold out four times over without him. How could they give Hadley Fraser a ‘bit part’ with his voice and acting talent, perhaps they thought he was too old for Marius? There were so many top talented young actors ‘ singers in the UK at the time that they could have given the part to. I still can’t work it out. Every time there is an ensemble singing piece in the show like this one it’s great until he joins in and then it’s Cringe time!

[@vilarles]

@@brianappleby5112 i rlly dont know much about nick jonas, and I think they could've definitelly casted someone better. BUT, i dont think he deserves so much hate here. He sings nice and if i was only listening i don't think I would've thought that that part was weak. Could be better but no need to exaggerate. Tho i underestand what you say and i completely agree

Also, I think Grantaire is more afraid of Enjolras dying than to die himself.

[@user-tg8xf9cr4f]

Actually.I can't imagine that a heart attack he experienced when he saw Enjolras which he was going to be shot😭

[@kateb1761]

I think thats probably why he chose to die with Enjolras. He could have gotten away but didnt want to live in a world without e

[@amazingspiderlad]

@@Siegfried1917 I think what they mean is that he would have possibly had a chance at survival or escaping, but he chose not to, because he would rather die with Enjolras

[@janeme1886]

Fair guess, not only he loves Enjolras but he doesn't love himself.

[@TudorQueen]

Grantaire loves Enjolras (may even be in love with him). He doesn't really believe in the cause, but in the young man leading them. When he pulls away from Enjolras after the line "Could it be your death means nothing at all?" he is all but saying that it will mean everything to him. So even though he has a deeply cynical outer shell, he later chooses to die with his friend, in part so that Enjolras will not have to die alone, and also so that he will not have to live without him. It's incredibly moving to me, far more so than Marius mewling about Cosette five minutes after Eponine has sacrificed her life for him.

[@BeforeTheStorm15]

Ramin is fab, but can we talk about Hadley Fraser more?? Damn he's good.

[@halfourfuture]

The Ramin/Hadley portrayals of Enjolras/Grantaire was what cemented everything for me. The intensity of their interaction simply takes over the stage (and my attention) - they have so chemistry it's almost electrifying.

[@brialangworthy3123]

Brb crying. The way Grantaire looks at Enjolras after he sings, ahhhh!

[@margaridabento9726]

The best/worst part was when R starts singing and enjolras’s smiling that dopey ass smile, looking towards the others like LOOK HES ENGAGING IN EARNEST IM SO PROUD and then R gets to the second verse and his face just falls. Ramin’s one hell of an actor, crazy subtle for theater without sacrificing emotion

[@queenrei34]

The Phantom and Raoul drinking together :D

[@ixaaicactus]

[@Madziulla666]

I thought the same :D

[@eemmeennddeell]

One of my favorite moments in the show is when Granitiere (sp?) sings his part. While a very small role, it is a very important one... the cynic of the bunch, he really sings the truth... what a waste of lives... "Is you life just one more lie?". I hate when that part of the performance is glossed over. I actually liked a lot of the movie (Russell Crowe not withstanding), but hated that they cut that part of the song.

[@kino9643]

the actual lyric is "Is your life, just one more life" which makes it even more sad when you realize that he's basically talking to Enjolras in particular in a remorseful way

[@mars-nf9cj]

It’s Grantaire but I agree with your comment

[@2137laura]

He sings this and then he goes and chooses to die at Enjolras' side and I cry my eyes out every time

[@frankennyg1]

Les Mis has the most beautifully written songs, and even though this is not the most famous one, I think it’s the absolute best. I get chills at so many different parts of the song… especially when Hadley sings, and also when the women come in. This just never gets old!

[@Nensi014]

Absolute bull sh.t!!!

[@sammimikairitori7]

In the official recording, where it shows all of E and R's exchange, it just gives me a lot of feelings. R attempts to leave and is stopped by the man he admires more than anyone else. They get into an argument that we don't hear, neither one of them rejoining the song. Eventually, R stops talking and just puts his hand on the back of E's neck, caressing his face and E just looks at him.They walk off before the song finishes, arms around each other.

[@user-kr7rj1mc1m]

The best Grantaire ever. But I can't help but think that Ramin is trying to control Hadley while he sings in case he forgot his lines. Like "I'm standing right behind you, mate! And I have a rifle here. Don't you dare to miss a word!"

[@FabianRutterFan]

I forgot that Nick Jonas was playing Marius in this scene, and it was so disappointing when it came to Marius' part, because I love that part and I was like "aw yas, Marius time" and then Nick Jonas started singing.

[@jbo4547]

Sydney Rutter Im so with you. Marius, well Michael Ball as Marius has some of my favorite parts. Jonas really almost ruined this whole concert. That may be going too far but he DEFINITELY ruined One Day More with his weakness. He just brought the energy way down

[@HanaBlack]

I have to back up what Keladrys said, I have never done that with any of my friends (the males one, I mean), too much intimacy on just one touch. Fuck, watch this gives too much e/R feels.

[@littlemissprickles]

Katherine Nguyen You're right, he does. But his hand does linger by his face like he's unsure what to do and then he put it on Enjolras' neck/shoulder and it's still a very wonderfully bromantic gesture.

No he has a musical theatre background. He's played Gavroche, Chip in Beauty and the Beast, and Kurt in Sound of Music all before he's boy band career. Also he was the Marius on West End right before the 25th concert.

[@mariahernandezmorales6038]

His vocal type isn't adequate for Marius, it doesn't hold enough support. If they had casted a Marius based on talent they would probably have not have casted Nick Jonas. They could have casted Andy Mientus, Craig Mather, Chris McCarrell, etc. It's just my opinion though.

[@em-ily1227]

I have mentally blocked Nick Jonas from this show so every time I watch it, it's a terrible surprise he's there. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he's better in a full on performance - this set up is a bit awkward, so maybe he's not used to it - but when he's on stage with Alfie, Ramin, Hadley, etc. …the difference between him and them is glaring.

It's my fault and this is for everybody who watched this video! drive.google.com/file/d/1NCxhm6DKeJ1zvUrcPa96PoTdMNpjtvG4/view?usp=drive_link

[@shawnagunwall]

Fraiser and Karimaloo together again. I'd watch anything the 2 do together!

[@minajahan5313]

Hadley Fraser just kills it here

[@somethingsomething6514]

Hadley's belting out these awesome notes and Ramin's just,,,mess this up bud and you're dead the next morning

[@HanaBlack]

Still not over the "fight and make up" of those two. sjgfdsjjdfgasdsdasds

[@skyy4062]

So late to this but I wonder if it was scripted or just the natural reaction of the cast to Hadley singing that people around just looked up and smiled. So beautiful

[@Afeuerwerker]

Of all the songs in Les Mis -- and I love almost all of them -- this is my favourite. And the saddest. (Except perhaps for "a little fall of rain")

[@sorjaibear]

Such a beautiful song.

[@wfiret]

I like the very strong singing voice from Grantaire (Hadley Fraser). Great perfomance!

[@siyuchi2448]

I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT!

[@erinspross7137]

OH THE ENJOLTAIRE FEELS ARE KILLING ME LEAVE ME TO DIE UGHGHGHH

[@kamwrites]

I KNOW! Absolutely love these two in these roles.

[@tierneybeckett]

I could cheerfully throttle whoever edited the 25th anniversary dvd. What a gret moment between Ramin and Hadley. I know Love Never Dies has it's issues, but I'd pay good money to hear the two of them together in Devil Take The Hindmost.

[@williamhoban1352]

I’d sell my soul to hear Ramin and Hadley sing Devil Take The Hindmost!

[@pundziusavril]

that moving away of the camera at 1:22 was outright homophobia smdh

[@nevvvo780]

Avril Pundzius I laughed so hard at this idk why

I read some comments, like the Zaftra's ones, and I copied here what 3neelh was talking about. "All those words: rights of the people, rights of man, the social contract, the French Revolution, the Republic, democracy, humanity, civilization, religion, progress, came very near to signifying nothing whatever to Grantaire. He smiled at them. Scepticism, that caries of the intelligence, had not left him a single whole idea. He lived with irony". "However, this sceptic had one fanaticism. This fanaticism was neither a dogma, nor an idea, nor an art, nor a science; it was a man: Enjolras. Grantaire admired, loved, and venerated Enjolras." "There are men who seem to be born to be the reverse, the obverse, the wrong side. They are Pollux, Patrocles, Nisus, Eudamidas, Ephestion, Pechmeja. They only exist on condition that they are backed up with another man; their name is a sequel, and is only written preceded by the conjunction and; and their existence is not their own; it is the other side of an existence which is not theirs. Grantaire was one of these men. He was the obverse of Enjolras. One might almost say that affinities begin with the letters of the alphabet. In the series O and P are inseparable. You can, at will, pronounce O and P or Orestes and Pylades." As you may see, they are compared to Achiles and Patrocles, Alexander The Great and Ephestion (Hephaistion). Those of the most know "couples" in the history. (You could all the research you want to about them and the other ones, I put those two because they are more known than the others).

[@forgiveninasong]

I still cry because this is so emotionally heartbreaking

[@katiev171]

Killian, Jamie, Hadley, Ramin, Alistair... So much talent

[@umbreonespeont6]

^^ I love them all. And the E/R moments are awesome.

[@marcellasorially9330]

I love at 0:26 how Ramin puts his hand on Hadley's shoulder and nods with his head at the mic.

[@ErnestinaHsieh]

That stare though Ramin. Piece Hadleys soul and wiggle your thumb while youre at it. COME ON CAMERA ARE YOU KSFDIJEOWFHWE:FHEW

[@elliotjude3626]

Favorite. Scene. Ever

[@jarodapple3311]

What I don't get and can't stand is how someone like Hadley fraiser is in the company and Nick Jonas is playing a lead. It just seems wrong

[@darkiee69]

The producers wanted someone who "would bring in the young people". They chose Nick Jonas. (Like the play it self wouldn't be enough to bring them anyway)

[@littlemissprickles]

Jarod Apple I agree but it should have been just a different Marius. I think Hadley plays Grantaire beautifully and portrays the E/R bromance very well

[@abi1249]

darkiee69 to be fair everyone in the cast had been in Les Mis before. For example, nick was Gavroche when he was younger. And he’s only 17 in this.

[@cosmo4350]

@@abi1249 means wrong choice!!! Cameron could have at least taken Jeremy Jordan

[@voidify3]

EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FOUND A VERSION WHERE IT DOESN'T PAN AWAY AT 1:22 (though it has terrible audio quality)!!! Its title is "Les Miserables 25th - Drink With Me" on youtube. The moment is at its 0:28. Spoiler alert: it's not as gay as it could've been, but it's still a really cute moment between them
