Show People with Paul Wontorek: Aaron Tveit of "Les Miserables" (Full Episode)

The new season of Show People with Paul Wontorek kicks off with Les Miserables star Aaron Tveit. Hear him dish about his Les Miz co-stars, going undercover on his new TV show Graceland and why he says "no" to social media.

[@PianoDisneygal10]

When I first saw Les Mis, I was kind of like "Hmmm, Marius is kind of cute and all, and he has a sweet voice *Camera cuts to Aaron* MY GOD, WHO IS THAT FOXY THING WITH THE ANGELIC VOICE?".

Saammee!!

[@Kelsey1309]

I feel that Aaron is a very underrated actor :( it makes me sad because he is absolutely phenomenal

[@kristinz2749]

Kelsey .Rhiannon AGREE. god bless graceland for letting me continue to drool at his talent

[@ethannavarro943]

AustralianKelsey he is one of my broadway idols, and I feel like we all can agree to say that he is in all of our voices, and inspired our voices.

[@sarehrazzaz5713]

He`s classically hot. I guess there has never been such a good Enjolras in other adaptions. Enjolras character is sort of paradoxical; he`s revolutionary and angry, yet fragile and childish. And Arron Tveit was great in showing both these aspects.

[@lynnyfee]

I really liked him but compared to other Enjolrati he was very generic (like quite a lot of other actors lately). Check out David Thaxton. He played the character how he's supposed to be: Heroic and charming but also militant and terrible.

[@Eve.33.H]

Check out Ramin Karimloo as Enjolras, he has something special just like Aaron

[@patstory4798]

Aaron is perfect for Enjolras. In the unabridged edition of Les Mis, Hugo described Aaron's Enjolras to a T. He also said Enjolras had never been shown any affection and never been kissed. He had kissed only twice, a dead hero who was not in the movie. He kissed him on the hand and the cheek, and everyone saw that as a great honor to the dead hero. II just wanted to cry when I read that. I'll give you a kiss, Enjolras! 🥰

[@ShreyaBan]

"did you get any gifts?" "yeah i got a lamp from my parents ... it was really great" why am i grinning i love him

[@malloryfallon6394]

“Got some.... white tshirts and..... socks“ 🤣🤣

[@zooh8017]

The description of enjolras in the book said he had REALLY nice teeth. They did NOT need to alter his at all

[@krisushi1]

You have to admit that Aaron's teeth are very noticeable. I think that in the movie they wanted to show the poverty of the French citizens so therefore they couldn't have Enjolras with perfect teeth. At least they didn't blacken any out, only coloured.

[@hannahhamiltrash6455]

Aaron: "I don't have a Twitter account. I'm never gonna have a Twitter account." *three years later* Me: *opens up Twitter* "Oh hey whaddya know..."

[@chloesmith3119]

I'm 99% sure he will never get a twitter account because George Blagden will stalk him.

[@alexaliona]

would you want him to play the Phantom? going by your name... you would.

[@PhantomifyEponine]

As Phantom? Hmm not so. I think he's better if he's a Raoul. But, you know, he would still be AMAZING in every role. :)

[@alexaliona]

PhantomifyEponine Yeah. Enjolras, Fiyero, _raoul__phantom_ this should be the list of roles he's played. like, maybe he could understudy phantom, while doing raoul, ect...

I can't handle him anymore. Oh my god. I'm going to cry, why aren't we married yet.

[@jennygreenwood2042]

Because he is fucking married to me. Stop breaking up our relationship! Just because we don't post it all over social media!

[@Nadinee1]

I feel for all of you when you say Aaron deserves more recognition. I completely agree & I remember thinking the same thing about Eddie Redmayne a few years back. So keep the faith everyone, I'm sure, in time, Aaron will get the recognition he deserves, just like Eddie has done

[@ibutski4259]

His Tony took so long that now he's the only person nominated in Best actor in a musical... the 2020 Tony's are a love letter to Aaron

[@chloepeifer2561]

The most educational part of this video is how to pronounce "Enjolras". In the 5 years I've been in love with Les Mis, I've never known how to pronounce it.

[@artsybrony7746]

I love how he refers to characters that he plays as HIMSELF, unlike other actors. Instead of referring to Mike as "he", he referred to Mike as "I." I love that and I love him.

If Spielberg's WSS had been made ten years earlier, Aaron Tveit would have been a superb Tony - acting, voice, appearance - but ten years later he looked closer to 40 than to 20, them's the breaks. Aaron Tveit has had and will have a great career. I certainly want to see him again on the screen.
