LES GALACTICES (a new musical)

Well, this was a highly amusing study break.



me: okay
so tell me about les mis

Claira: well
we had chorus call today
serious shortage of MEN alas
but aparently Allan has a plan
like the cylons, although it doesn't involve copies
but we sang!
and it was exciting!

me: *imagines a hundred Leobens belting out 'Do You Hear The People Sing'*

Claira: that image is AWESOME
LES MIS BY CYLONS

me: SO COOL
D'XENA WOULD BE FANTINE
WHAT WITH HER OBSESSION WITH FEMALE BABIES

Claira: or Madame Thenardier
or however you spell that
;)

me: ooh maybe

Claira: Sharon can be Cosette

me: I have no idea what Six would be. maybe Mother France

Claira: all HER HEART IS FULL OF LOOOOOOVE

me: Sharon is more MARIUS. (do I fight with my people? do I give it all up for loooooove?)

Claira: HAHAHA
that's so true
who's Enjoras?

me: totally Leoben
actually, I like Leoben as Javert

Claira: yes

me: single-minded and rather crazy about it

Claira: heroically committing suicide
by jumping into a RIVER
so symbolic

me: YES
Simon can be Grantaire. we see him once and then he DISAPPEARS FROM THE PLOT

Claira: FOREVER
NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN

me: actually that could be the priest

Claira: LIKE ... what was that kid's name?
Sharon and Helo's almost boy?
he could be Gavroche

me: OH YEAH. ummmm Boxy

Claira: yeah
I though BOXHEAD
and then I was like ... no

me: Cavil is very Thenadier-ish

Claira: ooh, es
or TIGH

me: HAHAHAH

Claira: before he became noble Tigh
and then ELLEN IS MME THENADIER
which is totally awesome

me: yes
if we're moving out of cylon territory then Roslin can be Enjolras
idealism idealism idealism DIES
well, you know, dying

Claira: it works
Papa Adama can be Valjean, all BRING HIM/HER HOME at various points

me: HEE very true

Claira: although that puts an interesting spin on Enjoras/Valjean
one I had not seen done before

me: I think at this point they are just donning funny hats in the name of symbolism
and singing a lot

Claira: yes
but the imagery cracked me up
and Sam and Dee can duet the part of Eponine
"ALWAYS ON MY OWN"
"THEY NEVER SAW US THERE"

me: heeeeee
meanwhile the pilots are members of the chorus who occasionally disappear and make out behind the barricade

Claira: or not even disappearing!
HAHAHA I'm just having visions of Lee all Marius and earnest
and Starbuck just like "WHAT? I CAN'T PLAY COSETTE. THIS WOMAN IS A SISSY."
"A heart full of love? You expect me to sing this? GIVE ME A GUN. WHERE'S THE BARRICADE?"

me: they could volunteer to be in Lovely Ladies
Lee: .....

Claira: HAHAHAHAHAHA

me: Kara: put on this skirt

Claira: OMG

me: Kara: *swaggers around with a cigar*

Claira: WITH A SAILOR HAT
this is gold
someone should write it
LES BATTLESTAR: A new broadway show

me: I don't think even my crack ability could hold up to it

Claira: LES GALACTICES?
oh, I couldn't write it
but it would be FUNNY

me: Leoben as Javert is the best I feel
Claira: YES
WITH THE RIVER
AND THE STARS

me: AND THE DESTINY
I bet Javert appeared creepily in Valjean's dreams

Claira: AND THE DEDICATION TO THE CAUSE

me: like Leoben did in Roslin's

Claira: totally
and followed her around

me: although Valjean saved his life and Roslin was all AIRLOCK HIS ASS

I only have... like, a third of the context for this. But it sounds like you were having fun with it.
(ALSO: That Disc fic I mentioned when you did the WIP post last month? Is posted, now.)
