"One Day More" from Les Mis - Flash Mob at the Richland Mall

[@ragnard5668]

I love these performances. Hats off to the first singer, musician or dancer who starts them off - they must be hoping everyone else joins in and doesn't leave them hanging.

[@hanaortiz7596]

The girl playing Eponine sounds SO MUCH like Samantha Barks (who plays Eponine in the film)

[@drasonmeerrkat2617]

maidmarian101 is she in the short

[@КатяМарчук-т5ъ]

She also playes in Les Mis 2010, it's my favourite musical :)

[@augustushaynes1311]

Samantha Barks aka the best Eponine not named Lea, and arguably the best Eponine period.

[@gabbiebravo6723]

Madame Thenardier's voice topped all voices

[@wemixourtearswithblood6165]

I couldn't agree more!

[@someotherguy2222]

It's so much better with the flag though...

[@jokerswild4577]

Yep! For sure! Clearly the best!

[@CantonFred]

Nicely done. But I am stunned at the number of people who didn't pause to appreciate (or at least acknowledge) the performance taking place. This is happening in Mansfield, OH -- not Times Square. How often do these shoppers get to see something like this? What could be so urgent that some would walk right by the singers and into Macy's? I'm guessing maybe a sale on Duck Dynasty t-shirts. Thank you, TheBarts1992, for posting this.

[@1965mlayers1965]

I agree...shoppers just walking past ignoring what was going on, with little kids no less. That would have been a perfect teaching moment for the arts and music appreciation.

[@utopianjess]

It can probably be attributed to the fact that we the people are too busy being consumers in this Capitalist society. We can't even stop a moment of our shopping to enjoy the moment of music and performance. It's what I call the bystander effect. If I were there I would enjoy every minute of it.

[@KateSc722]

Some people are buzzkilljoys who are actually annoyed by such performances. (It’s really because they’re jealous that they can’t sing and perform, so they must ruin it for others by putting people down.)

[@notme222]

People are naturally wary of unknown situations. Which flash mobs certainly are. People passing by could worry they're standing in the wrong place, not sure how long it's going to last, be worried someone will ask them for money, or just generally confused by the whole thing. Easier to move on to whatever they were doing. Street performers know this and will often have a friend or someone start up the audience because people are a lot more willing to stop when they're joining a crowd to do so.

[@blahblahmeowchow6383]

It's Ohio. Alabama with worse weather, food, and of course, football.

[@ipooped2daytoo]

Woah. That eponine sounded so much like Samantha barks. Bravo.

[@heleneschenbacher8512]

Eponine always steals this song!

[@caropaez6522]

I wouldn't say always, I think it depends on the actress playing Eponine, but in this case she for sure stole the whole song :)

[@waindayoungthain2147]

Please! Let's go altogether! For everyone!

[@heleneschenbacher8512]

These characters in the play are based on the descriptions in Victor Hugo’s novel of Les Miz. Enjolras is described as being handsome, blonde, a leader and fierce combatant. In the subtext he is half of a gay couple with Grantaire. Fierce fighters, yet united in love. So when selecting the actor/singer to play Enjolras he MUST be handsome. The play descriptor for Eponine is that of a woman whose love is unrequited. She dies saving the life of Marius so that he can have Cosette. In the play’s direction Eponine plays a woman of desperation, a woman of dark beauty and whose voice MUST be stronger than Cosette’s or even Fantine’s! For THAT reason you will find that Eponine has the strongest, most soaring, most deep felt singing. Lea Salonga WAS Eponine in the Broadway play. So YES the strongest female singer is given the role of Eponine. Can you give me ANY play of Les Miz where the strongest singer played Cosette, Fantine, or any other female character??

[@Paul2377]

@@heleneschenbacher8512 Good point. I just saw this musical for the first time at the theatre and the actress who played Eponine was the best female vocalist. Also, Enjolras was handsome and blond!

[@stellabuhay1085]

I think Eponine actresses always stand out because they have one of the well known and best songs on the play compared to Cosette lol. Same with Fantine’s character.

[@jessiecharles4858]

HOW HAS THIS NOT GONE VIRAL YET??? I NO UNDERSTAND.

[@inspectorjavert5563]

Because it's staged bullshit.

[@jessiecharles4858]

Inspector Javert What? Are you implying that this was somehow planned?? No way. The guy started singing so strangers would randomly join in.

[@Zartam7]

Jessie Charles Are you stupid? This was planned man

[@inspectorjavert5563]

Zartam7 He was being sarcastic. Regardless, though, they shouldn't present this as if it were totally random and amazing if it was pre-planned, as it obviously was.

[@Zartam7]

They did not present this as it was not planned, they just started to sing in the middle of a shopping

[@ThaIceCreamz]

Once you get past the video... Fantastic voices! This is a really good cast. Especially Eponine.

[@Beatngu23]

Imagine how confused the aliens disguised as humans are right now. They are trying to fit in, shopping at the mall, and see all these random humans singing in unison, and they are actually in key. Hell, I'd be scratching my head too.

[@ginadonofrio2502]

FANTASTIC GUYS! Bravo! I've seen it twice on Broadway and wore to LPs out. You did Les Mis proud!!

[@sukijay4990]

Absolutely wonderful , I felt like my heart was going to burst listening to those beautiful voices. I was astonished to see some shoppers walking into Macy’s instead of stopping to listen. If I’d been there I would have been thrilled to bits and crying with emotion to see such a fantastic performance so unexpectedly.

Look for the flash mob in the movie theater. This song is perfect for a flash mob, because it begins with just one person, and then slowly all the other singers join in.
