Obsessively listening to the Paris Revival Cast recording has provoked some questions for anyone who has finished reading Les Mis in French (which I haven't quite managed). How do they refer to each other at the beginning, middle, and end? When Javert offers his resignation? When he attempts to arrest Valjean? How about right before his suicide? Do they use 'tu' or 'vous'? I'm rather curious, because in this recording, they only use 'tu', regardless of when they're talking, which begs another question: did the cut scenes from M-sûr-M have them using different addresses?
