Ten points to Ravenclaw for being genius.

I found a Harry Potter related comment under a Les Mis video. I can die in peace now.
For the win😊
Never leave home without it.
when the drama kids go shopping together
That's true
OMG YES 🤣
Hahahhaaha I’ve always wanted to do that!
Gotta love a drama kid. SO FUN!
@@mszuzubookitty4646 ^^^^^not this^^^^^^
Why do I never run into a flash mob in person ?!? This is epic!
Start one!!!
Honestly, I hope flashmobs become a trend again!
I'm too chicken to start one lol
me too, have ato come here to see them!
I was just thinking the same thing. 😊
All I know is it takes WAY more guts to perform this piece in public than it does to post a negative comment. Bravo!
Hear, hear, McLovin! You are so right!
Yep. :) As an extreme introvert, doing this sort of thing would terrify me completely.... so the day I did this with a local theatre group, as Marius, will be a day I never forget. :)
You are right and so much more inspiring.
How can there be a negative comment?
@@antenant9294 congrats on taking that step to perform in public.
Who knows the girl that had been sipping Starbucks beside you was a lvl 100 singer part of a flash mob
No singing. They're all mouthing to the original cast performance.
David G. What- no they’re not, that’ll be literally impossible
Actually it's incredibly easy. Play the music over a loud speaker and they lipsynch to it. Literally simple.
David G. No, I don’t think you understand how sound works. Unless they put speakers inside of their bodies, the placement of sound would be absolutely obvious if it were from the speakers playing the music
Cherry Fries all I have to do is look at their lips to see they are lip singing
I love how Eponine is singing with her Starbucks cup.
Gotta get that caffeine. He he he. ♥
Did you notice the girl with the "bouncy skates"?? How fun!
She's drowning her sorrows
Hey it was good enough for Daenerys
radjedi2010 LOL! 😂
That poor guy trapped in the middle with his daughter.
I thought the same thing too, then I realized they both knew the choreography. I'm guessing that's their "young Cossette".
Or the little boy who dies
@@poppykisley2459 Garvoche you mean? :)
@@lume85 *Gavroche
@@fizz71 It's Young Cosette from the show and her dad irl.
A BIG shout out to *The Orlando Shakespear Theater* for such a brilliant rendition of this song. This is £100 a seat stuff. Their voices are that good! They are all absolutely brilliant! *Bravo!*
Magnificent
@@kenvanderfeyst6871 free is better
Those Shoppers have no idea they witnessed a $150+ per seat show.
KunraVong, true that.
Some of us do and love this!
I think they DO!
If this happened irl to me I’d just join in and hope no one noticed that there was a random girl in the background choir
Same
Lol I'd do the same thing
Hahahah great idea!!!!
Omg same 😂

01:14 Holy crap!! I've heard lots of people singing this part of Éponine lamenting her life, but I've never heard someone build up the volume on that last note, like this women does!! It's like wow!!! Is it ever going to stop growing louder?!? It's amazing!! What a voice!!
Lea Salonga does that, in fact this is her voice the woman is lip syncing
Wow...this is a five star flashmob....awesome voices, acting the parts, not just singing. This group deserves their own production if they dont already have one
They are all-stars!
All the comments on this video
10% - Javerts singing better than Russel Crowes
30% - Eponine with the Starbucks
60% - How hot Enjolras is
Well.. he is gorgeous and so is his voice ;)
What about flag guy
I mean yeahhh though, like the beauty is real with this one
Ramin Karimloo is hotter thoo
@@mikerotch6068 and I'm seeing him tonight!!
Props to Valjean, who endured being just a dork singing at the mall until Marius showed up and people realized it was actually a flash mob. Also his voice nearly brings the roof down, my God.
He wasn't really singing. Those are the voices from the original cast album. They're lipsynching.
David G. no they’re not ahaha
David G. No, no they aren’t they sang it then re sang it in a studio and the people put that audio over this video so it was clear but they actually sang it in front of this crowd
@@lasktdave Colm Wilkinson has a higher voice than the Valjean in this one. My voice is exactly like Colm Wilkinson's when singing. This Valjean is a baritone-tenor while Wilkinson is a tenor.
@@briannam9825 When they sang it live in the mall rotunda, was there an orchestral accompaniment?
Can we please just stop and appreciate how much skill and technique it takes to project this loudly in a large space with no mic?! Goddamn.
lmfao they're lip syncing, goofy.
2024 and this still brings chills and tears to my eyes. Such an amazing performance to you all
I felt so bad for that dude and his daughter I didn’t understand why they weren’t moving out of the way and then half way through I realized they were in it.
@Margaret Rhoads she is Cosette
LOL . . . I am "that guy" . . . my daughter Ellie, was "Young Cosette" in the production and I was Fauchelevant in another local production of this show and was invited to participate in it. I was just standing there because I had just had my gall bladder removed 20 hours before this event and was still in my surgical bandages. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. :) LOL . . . I am super proud of my firstborn baby girl--the only child actor in the production who was invited to be a part of the flashmob. She was amazingly professional for a 9 year old. She's now almost 14 . . . I will treasure this forever.
Stephen McPherson Damn good job it was awesome 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
@@destinythompson9587 Why Thank you!!! I am still a super proud Daddy. All five of my babies are super talented. I am so blessed. God is good!
@@stephenmcpherson8591Woah that's so cool!
Anyone else in a flash mob marathon right now?
ooooh i am!!!
Me
yup!
EpicFinish9 Hahahaha .. sure am :)
EpicFinish9 Somehow I have the feeling I'll get from flash mobs to emotional stuff like Soldiers coming home... As always..
I've seen Le Miz about 10 times over the years, from broadway touring companies to local theater and this rendition of One Day More is one the best I've ever heard! I rewatch this several time a week. Bravo!!!
Me, too. More than a dozen times in multiple countries. This production rivals any I have seen. Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the perfect flash mob song because of how all of the parts join in progressively. So awesome!
Ah, the good old days before the coronavirus
True .... I miss 'em
😂😂😂
Something we all should think about doing once social distancing is a thing of the past.
I was thinking the whole time about how there not socially distanceing. Lol
I really miss the days before...
Only thing that would have made this better was if Javert was dressed as Security
Oh yes, that would've been good
Haha!
YESSSSS
Ahahahha omg yesss
OMG YES
In case you don't realize that's Davis Gaines singing the role of Javert. He played the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway probably longer than anyone else in the history of the show. He is a brilliant brilliant tenor.
His voice was definitely the one that stood out to me, levels above the rest!
Still one of my faves :) :) :) love love love love love
*hears anything from Les Miserables in public*
“I must go. My people need me.”
@Aoife Foley That actually made me laugh out loud XD
Yeah, I'd definitely try to slip into the ensemble if someone did a flash mob and I happened to be in the audience.
@Aoife Foley How I feel this!
Funny
😂
I love how Eponine just walks out and busts out the singing holding her Starbucks
LOL
Not to mention her voice is badass
@@grantcarson6412 Yes, she has a fabulous voice!
I went, WAIT SHE'S STILL HOLDING HER DRINK 🤣
@@joelwellnitz4406 well it was Lea Salonga’s voice. She was lip syncing.
I notice the amazing Davis Gaines singing Javert.....Truly one of the best singers to tread the boards
5年ぶりくらいにみにきたけど、動画越しでもこんなに感動するのに生で観たらどうなるんやろ、、素敵すぎる
自分は今日久々に見ましたけど、日常の中でこんなドラマチックなワンシーンを体感してみたいものです。
I would totally be the broadway nerd who joins in even though I wasn't part of the flash mob. "Wait a second, you're not the girl who's supposed to be singing Cosette's part..." Haha
+SlowxParentsCrossing That's ok, I'll be on the other side singing the Eponine part when I'm not supposed to. Afterwards, we could go get smoothies or something.
Random, do you think they have permission, I notice security never shoos anyone away.
+sate Cain and then we became best friends forever lmao.
I'm not sure about the mall security part though. Can you get kicked out of the mall for singing? Either way I'm sure they got permission first just to avoid a "confrontation" 😂
+sate Cain And I would join in as Javert.
+SlowxParentsCrossing Same: "Wait Enjolras is supposed to be played by a guy, who are you"
+Matheus Barros Costa i would then be the male thernaider.
Best plot twist ever... the weird jumping lady was a part of it!
So was the guy standing in the video at the beginning with his little girl!
Bobby Boyens the little girl most likely played young Cosette or young Eponine!
0:50 if anyone needs it
Michelle Plyem Kocin that would have been me. But I’d be screaming yeasssssssssssss
@@anonymoususer2271 thanks😂
I'm so glad this was recommended to me.
Reminding me of seeing Les Misérables way back in 1990 in London. The most impressive production I've ever seen and heard. And to my humble opinion this ensemble is also fabulous. Respect!
You HAVE to be kidding me. This was off the charts excellent. These shoppers just got first class entertainment just for being there. I cannot believe how GOOD these singers were.
especially Javert, Cosette and M. Thenardier
JimmyLeeHook stood
Way better than the ones in the movie :)
Quiwi Lin Lisolet well I wouldn't say that the girl who played eponine is better than Samantha Barks, but that's just my opinion.
Right??? They were outstanding.
Why is no one mentioning that the acoustics in that mall were fire‽ 🔥
They really were. It was a fantastic location!!
I noticed that too, but their voices are SO clear. I have a sneaking feeling that either this is a studio recording superimposed over the video or that they all wore individual microphones. When you listen to it, especially at the beginning, you don't even hear the chatter or clamour of a busy mall, so it seems suspicious.
GpD79 yep
Malls have some of the best acoustics and best lights too.
Yes!
Doesn't matter who sings it, this song always makes me cry.
I would have loved and been so incredibly honoured to have caught this! Floods of tears just watching and think about people who are listening live who financially will never otherwise have the chance.
I want to be the person waving the flag
CALLA? Damn, never thought I'd see you here :>
@@nicolebatoon7062 ola 😁😁😁
i was in a concert version recently and i got to be the flag guy. it was awesome. we did held off until the final "OOOOOONEEEE DAAAAAY (boom theres the flag) MOOOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOOOORE"
@@seanpielli1161 U LUCKY GUY
Calla Draws LOL that's exactly what I thought. Then I take a look at the comments and this is one's first to show up.
CAN ENJOLRAS NOT BE HOT FOR LIKE FIVE SECONDS
+Emelia Marie YEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
AHH AND HE CAN SING LIKE NOTHING EARTHLY
OH MY GOD YES
Enjolras was always my favourite.
YYASSSS
javert was casted ✨ perfectly ✨. love him
AND the thenardiers. amazing. many i come back and watch this every day
This proves that you do not have to go to London or New York for first class entertainment. So ;much talent on display here!
I'd follow that Enjolras into battle any day.
Big. Mood
RIGHT
honestly same
okay TRUE
I'd let him build my barricade
Lol Eponine casually walks up with a Big Gulp
Everyone was so casually dressed that I was totally not expecting the flag to show up lmao
Me too! I actually went "whoa..!"
Haha where did that flag come from?? Jamba Juice?
I thought somebody just pulled a runner from Bed, Bath and Beyond! lol (Runner= Security Guard talk for a shoplifter)
Otaku Kani it would have been amazing if he'd been chased down and arrested for stealing the flag while they were singing. Really would have fit the Les Mis theme too.
I keep coming back to this again and again. The talent in this cast is EPIC.
YES! Same here!
@@Curtfj your comment brought me back to watch again. Thanks for that!
@@tracyroweauthor And you just returned the favor, thank you! lol I love this video, it's one of, if not the best thing on YT. I also keep coming back, I've watched it probably a hundred times in the last few years
My kids in class are loving this! Excellent!
No way i found your comment Mr McKay ☠ this is Dayyaan
@@wayyaan2 Nice one! :)
@@mrjsreadingcorner9915 damn, it's dayyaan from 6F, also I used Wikipedia for the full project and asked my mom for glitter🥳
Tag yourself. I'm the guy at the back waving the flag, not talented enough to sing.
a b i’d accidentally drop the flag
Yeah but you did a great job waving! :-)
Scure you were singing in heart!8
Yeah ok
that's such a big ass flag
At first I thought it was really great lip-synching, but it didn't take long for me to figure out this was real. Mind Blown. I would not be surprised if this is the actual broadway crew.
+shoshanna weinstein After looking into it, turns out they ARE the actual broadway crew.
Haha LOL
Well maybe not exactly Broadway, but they are the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre group. I thought at first they were doing it OST style or were lip-synching.
Oh i get it
The guy with the flat hat at 2:09 is Philipp Quast. So, it must be the original Cast.
Jean valjean... his voice... jalvert... the two thugs... cosette... etc... everyone was just.... perfect.
This is my all-time favorite musical. I only have one word to describe this performance... CHILLS!
This should be done in Ikea where the mobs would start building the barricade out of all the furnitures.
Your comment deserves more likes because this is genius
Love the theatrics; just can't help thinking how disruptive that would be. ;-P
They wouldn’t be able to build the barricade, instructions unclear 🤣
THIS MADE ME LAUGH MORE THAN IT SHOULD HAVE
One of the best replies of all time 😂🏆
I think I would cry if this happened in my mall and my life would be completed
Hey ! This is my mall and I wasn't there smh
same af
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I cried just watching this video lol
Same
Made me smile in 2021 and everyone needs that closeness again x
As usual, this song (and the rest of the musical, who am I kidding?) leaves me a snotty crying mess. What an amazing performance. Bravo!
When your friend says musical theater has a tiny following.....
I love ur profile XD
@@heatherchandler2840 Oh my god...I thought you died
@@Rivenlore99 lmao
Everyone's going on about Javert and Cosette and Eponine and them, but can we pause for a moment and talk about Valjean??? Literally every time he sings "One Day More" at the end it gives me chillssssss ahh
Yeah, who is he. OMG, great voice.
It's Davis Gaines. He played the Phantom on Broadway for years
Wonderful voice
@@danw5343 No wonder he sounded so fantastic!
@@danw5343 I NEED to see that Phantom now
This is my fav of the Les Miz flashes. You can feel the POWER and the passion!
Javert and the Thernadiers being on the side is a nice touch especially knowing that Javert is against the revolution
Nobody, absolutely nobody:
Theatre kids:
Theatre kids make random bits of life interesting for those who cant sing or act
WHAT IS WITH ENJOLRAS AND BEING HOT WHAT THE FUCK
The guy's name is Matt Mcmahan. He's an actor.
I thought he was too young, should have been Marius.
Twenty Two Jetskis ikr
Twenty Two Jetskis OHMYGOD I KNOW RIGHT? he kinda looks like Logan Lerman
Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, and Les Mis....... Can I be your best friend?
Eponine’s first crescendo is very well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this! It is just so wonderful. And the voices!!!
Eponine holding Starbucks is the only thing I need in life
for some reason I feel like she forgot why she was at the mall in the first place so she just bought some starbucks but then realised where she was meant to be and was like "oh shoot! I was meant to be at the thing but I'm holding starbucks....Oh screw em I can sing and hold starbucks"
You know what else is so good about this "flash mob"---besides all the talent? The recording of the performance is first rate! You can hear what the performers are singing, i.e., all clear, easily understood, no background interference, etc. A great job by the artists AND the recording people!
You realise they were lip-syncing, right?
SVSupervox I’m not so sure because you can see their vocal chords vibrating
@@mavenlives4279 - ok, so they may be singing, but what we're hearing is a recording
SVSupervox But They’re perfectly synced to the audio. They probably had mics
Yeah but where are their microphones hidden then? They dont have little headsets or mics in their shirtcollar. Makes it likely they we lipsyncing. Or am i just not seeing their mics
Back for probably the 1000th time to just say how awesome this is!
same here!
My favourite Musical of all time - and I’ve seen many (just edging out Fiddler on the Roof). I think I’ve seen Les Miz 4 or 5 times…it never gets old. This Company just freakin NAILED that. Awesome voices. What a TREAT for those in the Mall that day. As someone else posted - that was a $110. a seat quality. Well Done, All !
That Enj though like damn there goes the last shred of my heterosexuality
Since I am already gay, I can appreciate him with no remorse whatsever. What a hunk!
I'd suggest that if your thinking that way, it was already gone long ago! ;-)
That was world class for an open public performance it doesn’t get much better than that.
I'm in tears. .
The tears of unrelented joy, I can't express this kind of joy I just experienced 😊😊.. these shoppers are so lucky to receive a world class entertainment 🎁
Wow, wish I could have seen this. Absolutely amazing voices, with the individual members parts being perfectly sang. A very highly done performance I’m sorry I missed.
I’d cry of happiness if I was there
Me too
I would join the flashmob lol
Makenzie Turner, exactly. 😁
me three
Lilah Gene same
I don't know why I lost it when the dude started waving the flag 😂
Crona J. SAME!!😭😂
It's a good thing he woke up that day and said "ya know what i think i'll bring my big red flag to the mall today just 'cause"
Such an emotional song which totally makes sense now as we are struggling for our freedom 💔
I love this song. Still gives me chills.
It's so cool that their voices are so loud they don't need a mic
They do have mics, I think, just really, really well hidden
They're lipsynching to the original Broadway casts performance at the Tony Awards. It's here on youtube. You'll hear the exact same voices on both.
@@lasktdave Oh
David G. Definitely NOT lol, Colm Wilkinson cannot touch those low notes, OBC Enjolras and Marius are baritones, and the choices for the ending tempos are completely different. Don’t take away from these amazing performances.
@@lasktdave No they're not ?
the flag made it 10x better
It wasn't the French flag
@@josefalc29 It's the red flag that signified revolution. It also means in war "no quarter," meaning that they plan to kill your entire army or die trying
SUCH BEAUTIFUL VOICES!!! I'm in awe of people who have these gifts, these wonderful voices, and they share it with the rest of us. Many thanks to whoever posted this!🙂
Beautiful! Goosebumps and tears, thank you for this ❤️
_TOMORROW WE’LL DISCOVER WHAT OUR GOD IN HEAVEN HAS IN STORE_
I get chills every time, every rendition by every company. Something about an entire company singing the climactic phrase in a song makes my heart soar.
Revelation 21 : 4 and 5 will tell you the answer
it’s hilarious because they’re ACTUALLY in a store-
@@jexielean this is an underrated comment lmao
In Store.....Ha
Same here! This song brings me to tears no matter where I hear it...
just imagining if when they stopped singing there was an akward silence 😂 😂
Ellie Mills
Ellie Mills if that happened it would be time for the human race to check out.
Ellie Mills lol
And then that one person (all of us) starts cheering their butt off
Isabella Phillips feel like that would be me. No one appreciates musicals at my school. There are maybe like 5 people who like hamilton
I am a les mis fan and this is one of the best versions I have seen. Amazing!
Makes me smile. Beautiful voices.
Security must have been like, 'What the..."
Nah, this was planned through the mall. Hence, the live sound singing. Security knew this was going to happen.
They hijacked the audio system at the mall. That's why the dispersed as soon as they were done.
Only a fool would try this without mall consent.
@@philmycrevice3536 isnt that the whole point of flash mobs, without consent
@@toad7395 public property is one thing, malls are still private property.
Shoplifters must've had a field day during this hahaha
Utube Filler OMG!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was in the center by the front entrance. Not many stores right there. Mostly restaurants.
They're called Thenadiers
Was there a witness to this? Well, let him speak to Javert
@@davidholmgren8156
But they will answer to the court only when there is made a full report !
so so good and the last bit when they start 'marching' to the crescendo makes me shiver,how many times have I watched this I never get tired, fabulous, well done to all
I Love this!!!..seen Les Mis on Broadway 3 times...my favorite!!!
I love how they just walk away like that amazing thing didn't happen
That's the point of a flash mob, you act like it never happened after
Eponine with a starbucks lol that made me laugh
Amazing!
Thank you for sharing the joy of music!!!
That was fantastic! What amazing voices the leads have. It brought me to tears.
i started screaming and my dad just came in and with his limited English speaking abilities he quietly said "are you... idiot?" im hyperventilating
Your dad is awesome.
Twenty One Phantoms of the Opera I see you in the comment section of like anything that has to do with les mis
I relate so much to your username and your comment
That Enjolras is amazing omg
Bettie than the original?
IKR OMG
That was amazing. Those voices were beautiful, such talent. Thank you, thank you for sharing. Truly loved it. Hooray 👏👍🤗
何回見ても最高すぎる！
I waited for the guy with the kid to finally get out until I noticed they are part of it :D
schattentaenzerin same😂
schattentaenzerin like can you walk out pls? lol
They were? Did the guy start singing? I didn't notice?
LOL . . . Just so you know, I am "the guy with the kid" . . . and "the kid," my daughter, played "Young Cosette" in the production. I would have ran onto the stage chasing after her and then joined the group but I had a complication . . . I had my gall bladder removed 20 hours before this!!! The show must go on! Thank you for noticing us! :) The fact that you thought we should "get out" before you realized we were a part of it makes me feel great!!! LOL . . . We did a pretty good job pretending to be surprised! LOL
We both started singing at 1:46. My daughter played "Young Cosette" in the production. :) I would have ran on like the others, but I had a complication. I had surgery to remove my gall bladder just 20 hours prior to this. I was still in my surgical bandages! LOL . . . . but the show must go on! :)
I would have been that asshole that would have jumped in singing along with the rest of the chorus and tried to blend in as much as possible.
Same here. I know all the lyrics, screw them XD
Magi V Same...fuck yea
Cody Fox
I mean it's their own fault if they don't invite me!
I literally would’ve punched out Jean Val jean and taken his mf spot
I'd have joined in. I break out into this song at random often enough anyway.
What talent! I am so impressed! Great voices.
I'm in total awe. Such a phenomenal performance!
How come the French never revolt when I go to the mall?
😂😂😂😷🇨🇦. Hang on...it is 2021....we went to malls?
@@missg.5940 the closest thing we’re doing to this now is revolting against the Zoom Gods 💀🥲
I keep thinking the same thing!! At least this one was in the U.S., so there's hope! We have a lot of malls in NJ. I just need to be in the right mall! This is absolutely my favorite musical!! I've seen it twice on Broadway, and watch every concert version on PBS. I hope it comes back soon!!❤
Song makes me cry every time. For 25 years.
Me 2. Everytime when everyone is singing "Tomorrow we'll discover what our god in heaven has in store." tears start running.
+ReallyRick Me, too, Rick. This and "Bring Him Home" which is my absolute favorite and also
"I Dreamed A Dream".
I have watched this dozens of times and I get chills each and every time! AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!!
Only wish I could've been there. This sounds incredible.
