I've finally seen the musical I've heard so much about. It was rather strange, seeing the whole thing played out that way, and at such a pace! The barricade went up and its builders down all in a few minutes. Necessity, I suppose, but odd all the same.

I'll admit I couldn't always pick out who was meant to be who, but I did spot one fellow

*pouting* And not a hint of me in the mix, I'm sure, not even among the chorus--!

[baldlaigle]

I'm afraid not. But they'd never have found an actress appropriate for the part, you know.

[cruelpatience]

*petulantly, though not taking herself quite seriously, thank you* Well, they might've written me in as a reference at least, though if they couldn't even manage to get your dear head right, I shouldn't think they'd try very hard to cast me appropriately.

[baldlaigle]

Yes, a reference might have done. M. Hugo was courteous enough, after all. Perhaps they despaired of capturing your loveliness in only a few lines-- for at such a pace they surely would not have been able to devote the time deserved. *and while he is teasing, it is with a sort of conviction; a joke that is quite true* As for my head, I suspect they couldn't convince a fellow of the right age to shave off his hair. I doubt I would have.

If they put a girl in who looked even somewhat like you, all the men would be on her in a moment, and no one wants you to get ... get well, you know, by everyone.

[baldlaigle]

It would be terribly distracting for the audience.

[valetudinarius]

Yes. And for us, we might shoot something we aren't supposed to, 'f that were the case. And well, shotting things one isn't supposed to shoot generally never ends well. Ever.

[baldlaigle]

It really doesn't. In fact, shooting in general tends to be-- well. Messy.

[valetudinarius]

True. At least you can find a nice, secluded place near the barricade beforehand!
