"I haven't seen you much about"
"Here you can always catch me in"
"Mind the police don't catch you out"
"Here what'd you do with all these books?"

"But where's the gentleman gone? And why the hell did he run?"
"You will have a job to catch him"
"He's the one you should arrest"

"Don't let the wine go to your brains"
"For the army we fight is a dangerous foe"
"With the men and the arms that we never can match"
"It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies"

"We need a sign"
"To rally the people to call them to arms"
"To bring them in line"
- "Marius, you're late" - "What's wrong today?"
"You look as if you've seen a ghost"
"Some wine And say what's going on?"
"A ghost you say? A ghost maybe"
"She was just like a ghost to me"
"One minute there, then she was gone"
Yeah,
"I am agog, I am aghast"
"Is Marius in love at last?"
"I've never heard him ooh and aah"
"You talk of battles to be won"
"And here he comes like Don Juan"
"It is better than an opera"
Thank you, gentlemen, I know,
"It is time for us all to decide who we are"
"Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now?"
"Have you asked of yourselves what's the price you might pay?"
"Is this simply a game for rich young boys to play?"
"The colors of the world are changing day by day"
"Red, the blood of angry men"
"Black, the dark of ages past"
"Red, a world about to dawn"
"Black, the night that ends at last"
"Had you been there tonight you might know how it feels"
"To be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight"
"Had you been there tonight you might also have known"
"How the world may be changed in just one burst of light"
"And what was right seems wrong"
"And what was wrong seems right"
- "Red" - "I feel my soul on fire"
- "Black" - "My world if she's not there"
- "Red" - "The color of desire"
- "Black" - "The color of despair"
"Marius, you're no longer a child"
"I do not doubt you mean it well"
"But now, there is a higher call"
"Who cares about your lonely soul?"
"We strive towards a larger goal"
"Our little lives don't count at all"
"Red, the blood of angry men"
"Black, the dark of ages past"
"Red, a world about to dawn"
"Black, the night"
"That ends at last"
"Well, Courfeyrac, do we have all the guns?"
"Feuilly, Combeferre, our time is running short"
- Listen! - "Grantaire! Put the bottle down"
- Listen to me! - "Have the guns we need?"
"Give me brandy on my breath"
- "And I'll breathe them all to death" - Listen, everybody!
General Lamarque is dead,
"Lamarque is dead"
"Lamarque, his death is the hour of fate"
"The people's man"
"His death is the sign we await"
"On his funeral day they will honor his name"
"With the light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes"
"From their candles of grief we will kindle our flame"
"On the tomb of Lamarque shall our barricades rise"
"The time is here"
"Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer"
"Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts"
"But a jubilant shout, they will come one and all"
"They will come when we call"
"Do you hear the people sing?"
"Singing the song of angry men?"
"It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again"
"When the beating of your heart"
"Echoes the beating of the drums"
"There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes"
"Will you join in our crusade?"
"Who will be strong and stand with me?"
"Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?"
"Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free"
"Do you hear the people sing?"
"Singing the song of angry men?"
"It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again"
"When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums"

"Will you give all you can give"
"So that our banner may advance?"
"Some will fall and some will live"
"Will you stand up and take your chance?"
"The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France"
"Do you hear the people sing?"
"Singing the song of angry men?"
"It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again"
"When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums"
"There is a life about to start"
"When tomorrow comes"
"How strange this feeling that my life's begun at last"
"This change"
"Can people really fall in love so fast?"
"What's the matter with you, Cosette?"
"Have you been too much on your own?"
"So many things unclear, so many things unknown"
"In my life"
"There are so many questions and answers"
"That somehow seem wrong"
"In my life there are times when I catch in the silence"
"The sigh of a faraway song"
"And it sings of a world that I long to see out of reach"
"Just a whisper away waiting for me"
"Does he know I'm alive? Do I know if he's real?"
"Did he see what I see?"
"Does he feel what I feel?"
"In my life, I'm no longer alone"
"Now the love in my life is so near"
"Find me now"
"Find me here"
"Dear Cosette, you're such a lonely child"
"How pensive, how sad you seem to me"
"Believe me, were it within my power"
"I'd fill each passing hour"
"How quiet it must be I can see"
"With only me for company"
"There's so little I know that I'm longing to know"
"Of the child that I was in a time long ago"
"There's so little you say of the life you have known"
"Why you keep to yourself, why we're always alone"
"So dark, so dark and deep"
"The secrets that you keep"
"In my life I'm no longer a child"
"And I yearn for the truth that you know"
"Of the years"
- "Years ago" - "You will learn"
"Truth is given by God to us all in our time"
"In our turn"
"In my life"
"She has burst like the music of angels"
"The light of the sun"
"And my life seems to stop as if something is over"
"And something has scarcely begun"
"Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here"
"Thanks to you"
"I am one with the gods and heaven is near"
"And I soar through a world that is new, that is free"
"Every word that he says is a dagger in me"
"In my life"
"There's been no one like him anywhere"
"Anywhere where he is"
"If he asked I'd be his"
- "In my life" - "In my life"
"There is someone who touches my life"
- "Waiting near" - "Waiting here"
"A heart full of love"
"A heart full of song"
"I'm doing everything all wrong"
"Oh, God, for shame I do not even know your name"
"Dear mademoiselle"
"Won't you say?"
- "Will you tell?" - "A heart full of love"
"No fear, no regret"
"My name is Marius Pontmercy"
"And mine's Cosette"
"Cosette, I don't know what to say"
"Then make no sound"
- "I am lost" - "I am"
"A heart full of light"
- "A night bright as day" - "A night bright as day"
"And you must never go away"
"Cosette, Cosette"
"This is a chain we'll never break"
"Do I dream?"
- "I'm awake" - "A heart full of love"
"He was never mine to lose"
- "A heart full of you" - "A heart full of you"
"Why regret what could not be?"
- "I knew it too" - "These are words he'll never say"
- "Not to me" - "From today"
- "Not to me, not for me" - "Every day"
- "His heart full of love" - "For it isn't a dream"
- "He will never" - "Not a dream"
- "Feel this way" - "After all"
"This is his lair I've seen the old fox around"
"He keeps himself to himself, He's staying close to the ground"
"I smell profit here"
"Ten years ago he came and paid for Cosette"
"I let her go for a song It's time we settled the debt"
"This'll cost him dear"
"What do I care, who you should rob?"
"Give me my share, finish the job"
"You shut your mouth, you'll get what's yours"
- "What have we here?" - "Who is this hussy?"
"It's your brat Eponine Don't you know your own kid?"
"Why's she hanging about you?"
"Eponine, get on home, you're not needed in this"
"We're enough here without you"
"I know this house, I tell you"
- "There's nothing here for you" - "Shut up"
"Just the old man and the girl"
"They live ordinary lives"
"Don't interfere, you've got some gall"
"Take care, young miss, you've got a lot to say"
- "She's going soft" - "Happens to all"
"Go home, 'Ponine, go home, you're in the way"
"I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here"
"One little scream and you'll regret it for a year"
"Make for the sewers, get underground"
"Leave her to me, don't wait around"
"Oh, you wait, my girl, you'll rue this night"
"I'll make you scream, you'll scream, alright"
"It was your cry sent them away"
"Once more 'Ponine saving the day"
"Dearest Cosette, my friend 'Ponine brought me to you"
"Showed me the way"
"Someone is near, let's not be seen"
"Somebody's here"
"My God, Cosette, I heard a cry in the dark"
"I heard the shout of angry voices in the street"
"That was my cry you heard, papa"
"I was afraid of what they'd do"
"They ran away when they heard my cry"
"Cosette, my child, what will become of you?"
"Three men I saw beyond the wall"
"Three men in shadow moving fast"
"This is a warning to us all"
"These are the shadows of the past"
"Must be Javert"
"He's found my cover at last"
"I've got to get Cosette away before they return"
"We must get away from shadows that will never let us be"
"Tomorrow to Calais and then a ship across the sea"
"Hurry, Cosette, prepare to leave and say no more"
- "Tomorrow we'll away" - "But, papa"
"Hurry, Cosette, it's time to close another door"
"And live another day"
"One day more"
"Another day, another destiny"
"This never-ending road to Calvary"
"These men who seem to know my crime"
"Will surely come a second time"
- "One day more" - "I did not live until today"
"How can I live when we are parted?"
- "One day more" - "Tomorrow you'll be worlds away"
"And yet with you my world has started"
- "One more day all on my own" - "Will we ever meet again?"
- "One more day with him not caring" - "I was born to be with you"
- "What a life I might have known" - "And I swear I will be true"
"But he never saw me there"
- "One more day before the storm" - "Do I follow where she goes?"
- "At the barricades of freedom" - "Shall I join my brothers there?
- "When our ranks begin to form" - "Do I stay and do I dare?"
- "Will you take your place with me?" - "The time is now"
"The day is here"
- "One day more" - "One more day to revolution"
"We will nip it in the bud"
"We'll be ready for these schoolboys"
"They will wet themselves with blood"
"Watch 'em run amok, catch 'em as they fall"
"Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all"
"Here a little dip, there a little touch"
"Most of them are goners, so they won't miss much"
"One day to a new beginning"
"Raise the flag of freedom high"
"Every man will be a king"
"There's a new world for the winning"
"There's a new world to be won"
- "Do you hear the people sing?" - "My place is here"
"I fight with you"

- "One day more" - "Watch 'em run amok"
"Catch 'em as they fall"
"Never know your luck When there's a free-for-all"
"We'll be ready for these schoolboys"
"Tomorrow is the judgment day"
"Tomorrow we'll discover What our God in heaven has in store"
"One more dawn"
"One more day"
"One day"
"More"
"Here upon these stones we will build our barricade"
"In the heart of the city we claim as our own"
"Each man to his duty and don't be afraid"
"Wait! I will need a report on the strength of the foe"
"I can find out the truth I know their ways"
"Fought their wars, served my time"
"In the days of my youth"
"Hey, little boy, what's this I see?"
"God, Eponine, the things you do!"
"I know this is no place for me"
"Still I would rather be with you"
"Get out before the trouble starts Get out, 'Ponine, you might get shot"
"I've got you worried, now I have"
"That shows you like me quite a lot"
"There is a way that you can help"
"You are the answer to a prayer"
"Please take this letter to Cosette And pray to God that she's still there"
"Little he knows"
"Little he cares"
"I have a letter, monsieur, It's addressed to your daughter Cosette"
"It's from a boy at the barricade, sir In the Rue de Villette"
"Give me that letter here, my boy"
"He said to give it to Cosette"
"You have my word that my daughter will know what this letter contains"
"Tell the young man she will read it tomorrow, and here's for your pains"
"Go careful now stay out of sight"
"There's danger in the streets tonight"
"Dearest Cosette"
"You have entered my soul and soon you will be gone"
"Can it be only a day since we met and the world was reborn?"
"If I should fall in the battle to come let this be my goodbye"
"Now that I know that you love me as well, It is harder to die"
"I pray that God will bring me home to be with you"
"Pray for your Marius"
"He prays for you"
"And now I'm all alone again, nowhere to turn, no one to go to"
"Without a home, without a friend, without a face to say hello to"
"And now the night is near"
"Now I can make believe he is here"
"Sometimes I walk alone at night when everybody else is sleeping"
"I think of him and then I'm happy with the company I'm keeping"
"The city goes to bed"
"And I can live inside"
"My head"
"On my own"
"Pretending he's beside me"
"All alone"
"I walk with him till morning"
"Without him I feel his arms around me"
"And when I lose my way I close my eyes"
"And he has found me"
"In the rain"
"The pavement shines like silver"
"All the lights are misty in the river"
"In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight"
"And all I see is him and me forever and forever"
"And I know it's only in my mind"
"That I'm talking to myself and not to him"
"And although I know that he is blind"
"Still I say"
"There's a way for us"
"I love him, but when the night is over"
"He is gone, the river's just a river"
"Without him the world around me changes"
"The trees are bare, and everywhere the streets re full of strangers"
"I love him but every day I'm learning"
"All my life I've only been pretending"
"Without me his world will go on turning"
"A world that's full of happiness"
"That I have never known"
"I love him"
"But only"
"On my"
"Own"
"Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade"
"Let them come in their legions and they will be met"
"Have faith in yourselves and do not be afraid"
"Let's give 'em a screwing they'll never forget"
"This is where it begins"
"And if I should die in the fight to be free"
"Where the fighting is hardest, there will I be"
"Let them come if they dare"
"We'll be there"
Get down!
"You at the barricade, listen to this"
"No one is coming to help you to fight"
"You're on your own, you have no friends"
"Give up your guns or die"
"Damn their warnings, damn their lies"
"They will see the people rise"
"Damn their warnings, damn their lies"
"They will see the people rise"
He's back!
"Listen, my friends, I have done as I said"
"I have been to their lines, I have counted each man"
"I will tell what I can"
"Better be warned, they have armies to spare"
"And our danger is real"
"We will need all our cunning to bring them to heel"
"Have faith"
"If you know what their movements are we'll spoil their game"
"There are ways that a people can fight"
"We shall overcome their power"
"I have overheard their plans, there will be no attack tonight"
"They intend to starve us out before they start a proper fight"
"Concentrate their force, hit us from the right"
"Liar"
"Good evening, dear inspector, lovely evening, my dear"
"I know this man, my friends, his name's Inspector Javert"
Get him!
"So don't believe a word he says, 'cause none of it's true"
"This only goes to show what little people can do"
"Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class"
"So what are we going to do with this snake in the grass?"
"Tie this man and take him to the tavern in there"
"The people will decide your fate, Inspector Javert"
- "Shoot the bastard" - "Shoot me now, or shoot me later"

"Have you seen my beloved? Why have you come back here?"
"Took the letter like you said, I met her father at the door"
"He said he would give it, I don't think I can stand anymore"
"Eponine, what's wrong? There's something wet upon your hair"

"Where's that new world now the fighting's done?"
- "Who will wake them?" - "No one ever will"
"No one ever told them that a summer's day can kill"
"Same old story What's the use of tears?"

"But we will prove our love to you"
"Whom we shall call a father to us both"
"A father to us all"
"Not another word, my son"
"There's something now that must be done"
"There lived a man whose name was Jean Valjean"
"He stole some bread to save his sister's son"
"For nineteen winters served his time"
"In sweat he washed away his crime"
"Years ago"
"He broke parole and lived a life apart"
"How could he tell Cosette and break her heart?"
"It's for Cosette this must be faced If he is caught, she is disgraced"
"The time has come to journey on"
"And from this day he must be gone"
"Who am I?"

"They will walk behind the plough-share"
"They will put away the sword"
"The chain will be broken And all men will have their reward"
"Will you join in our crusade?"

Thank you,
Thank you so much,
An extraordinary night, an extraordinary 16 weeks,
an extraordinary 34 years,
Um, one of, one of the beauties, one of the joys about "Les Mis"
none of us anticipated what would happen, 34 years ago,
Uh, one of the joys about being in a show like this
is watching people grow into the next stage of their roles,
We have little Gavroches, uh, little Eponines,
we have little Cosettes growing up and going on to lead roles
and then going into the older roles,
I fall into that category,
Um, tonight will probably be the last time I sing Javert in the West End,
Yeah, I know, You're thrilled,
Uh, and the part is gonna be played next door,
uh, at the new Sondheim Theatre
by the man who was brilliant tonight as Enjolras,
Mr, Bradley Jaden,
So,,,
Here's the coat,
Wear it with pride,
"There"
"Out in the darkness"
"A fugitive running"

"I never shall yield"
"Till we come face to face"
- "Till we come face to face" - "Stars"
"In your multitudes"
"Scarce to be counted"
"Filling the darkness"
- "With order and light" - "Stars"
"You are the sentinels"
"Silent and sure keeping watch in the night"
"Keeping watch in the night"
"You know your place in the sky"
"You hold your course and your aim"
"And each in your season returns and returns"
"And is always the same"
"And if you fall as Lucifer fell"
"You fall in flame"
"And so it must be"
"For so it is written On the doorway to paradise"
"That those who falter and those who fall"
"Must pay the price"
"Lord, let me find him"
"That I may see him"
"Safe behind bars"
"I will never rest"
"Till then"
"This I swear"
"This I swear by"
"The stars"
"God on"
"High"
"Hear my prayer"
"In my need"
"You have always been there"
- "He is young" - "He is young"
"He's afraid"
"Let him rest"
"Heaven blessed"
"Bring him home"
"He's like the son I might have known"
"If God had granted me a son"
"The summers die one by one"
"How soon they fly on and on"
"And I am old"
"And will be gone"
- "Bring him peace" - "Bring him peace"
"Bring him joy"

"Bring him home"
"Bring him"

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for joining us this evening
on such a special performance,
It's my great honor to introduce to the stage
our esteemed composer of "Les Miserables,"
Claude-Michel Schonberg,
and our wonderful producer, Sir Cameron Mackintosh,
I,,, I,,, I'll be honest, I'm completely overwhelmed
at the response we've had to this amazing production
with its extraordinary, extraordinary cast
and five of my most beautiful Jean Valjeans,
It's, it's, it's been extraordinary,
The wonderful thing about "Les Mis"
is that whenever there's a special occasion,
everyone comes together and says, "We'd love to be part of something,"
and we had, with the Sondheim being rebuilt next door,,,
That's gonna be rather nice, and open in two weeks, I hope,
and, uh, we are,,, No, it will, because I'm,
I'm handing out brochures later on, It will,
But, no, I had no idea, in my dreams,
that it would turn out as extraordinary as it has,
And it, thanks to,,, I rang up Michael and Alfie and Matt and said,
"Would you come and do it again?"
And they immediately said, "Yes, of course, We'd love to"
And then all my wonderful friends, old friends and wonderful new friends
that have come together, one of the most incredible companies
I've ever had in my life,
And,,,
It,,, it seemed only yesterday we said hello
and now we're saying goodbye,
but except you never say goodbye with "Les Miserables",
It's always au revoir
because, uh, tomorrow always seems to come for "Les Miserables"
and that is thanks to you, the public,
All of us owe so much to the public
who always continue to embrace the show and keep it timeless,
But without three special people,
I would never have ever been able to imagine this show,
and that is the two people who thought of the show,
was Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg,
It was their creation that I heard in Paris and then brought to England,
and where the wonderful words of Herbert Kretzmer,
who is up here in the box today, inspiring words of Herbert,
Set it to music,
So, like you, I never tire of listening to the beautiful music
from our composer,
And our composer is also, to my great gratitude,
also one of my oldest friends,
Ladies and gentlemen, Claude-Michel Schonberg,
As you understand, I'm not alone on stage tonight,
I have the wonderful lyricist, Herbert Kretzmer
and my partner, Alain Boublil,
Partner,,, We working only together, eh,
- What did you say, Matt? - What did I say?
Yeah, did you say something?
- I said nothing at all, - Not for me!
Anyway, the three of us,
we can only say thank you to Cameron
for putting together such a wonderful company
who have been doing this show, night after night, during 17 weeks,
with the wonderful orchestra, with Alfonso directing,
and with a wonderful audience,
We can never thank you enough,
But something has been bothering me tonight,
It's when I heard the duet of the Valjeans I realized
that Bradley had all the high notes and not Michael,
So,,,
It's true, huh?
So I'm wondering if the original Marius,,,
34 years ago,,,
Yeah, thanks for that,
can still hit the high notes he used to do every night,
- I'll give it a go, - Will you try?
I'll give it a go,
Michael,
"My place is here"
"I fight with you"
"One day more"
"I will join these people's heroes"
- "I will follow where they go" - "All on my own"
"I will know their little secrets"
"I will know the things they know"
- "One more day" - "Watch 'em run amuck"
"We will nip it in the bud"
- "We'll be ready for these schoolboys" - "Tomorrow we'll be far away"
"Tomorrow is the judgment day"
"Tomorrow we'll discover"
"What our God in heaven has in store"
"One more dawn"
"One more day"
"One day"
"More"
