No, but he agrees because anyone who gets into Les Miz … never gets out.

Wow! I hope you had fun!
I know the whole thing.
I saw it when it was in Orlando late last year.
I visited an Episcopal church 2 Sundays ago and, if anyone has any interest for some reason, the priest talks about Les Miserables in the 1st blank video and the one where you see him clearly, in this Instagram post. I could sing it from memory, as I could a lot of it.

He sounds good in the loud parts.
Remember this? (I included 2 videos in this post.)
[THENARDIER]
Ain't it a laugh? Ain't it a treat?
Hob-nobbin' here among the elite?
Here comes a prince, there goes a Jew
This one's a queer, but what can you do?
Paris at my feet, Paris in the dust
And here's me breaking bread
With the upper crust!
Beggar at the feast! Master of the dance!
Life is easy pickings, if you grab your chance
Everywhere you go, law-abiding folk
Doing what is decent, but they're mostly broke!
Singing to the Lord on Sundays
Praying for the gifts He'll send
[M. & MME. THENARDIER:]
But we're the ones who take it
We're the ones who make it in the end!
Watch the buggers dance, watch 'em till they drop
Keep your wits about you and you stand on top!
Masters of the land, always get our share
Clear away the barricades, and we're still there!
We know where the wind is blowing
Money is the stuff we smell
And when we're rich as Croesus
Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!
Usually I'd like this, if life wasn't so bitter now.
It's the 1st song in the video.
Did you see them
Going off to fight?
Children of the barricade
Who didn't last the night?
Did you see them
Lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them
And kiss them when they cried.
Did you see them
Lying side by side?
Who will wake them?
No one ever will.
No one ever told them
That a summer day can kill.
They were schoolboys
Never held a gun
Fighting for a new world
That would rise up like the sun
Where's that new world
Now the fighting's done?
Nothing changes, nothing ever will
Every year another brat, another mouth to fill.
Same old story, what's the use of tears?
What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears?
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
Through the years.
Turning, turning, turning through the years
Minutes into hours and the hours into years.
Nothing changes, nothing ever can
Round and round the roundabout and back where you began!
Round and round and back where you began!
What good instrumental music when the music rounds begin.
