john mulaney apparently met Gavorche’s understudy for Les Miserables’ Broadway tour at a park in Chicago when he was like 7 or 8 and listen i know this is far fetched but i have this weird feeling that that little boy that john mulaney wanted to murder with a baseball bat to get his role was none other than Sam Riegel. i cant prove this but i’m right
I WANT THIS TO BE TRUE SO BADLY THAT I DID SOME RESEARCH
John Mulaney: Born in 1982, so we are talking about 1988-1992, if we broaden the ages a bit
Les Mis had three national touring companies in the US. From Wiki:
- “The First National Tour opened at Boston’s Shubert Theatre on 12 December 1987, and continued to play major cities until late 1991.
The Second National Tour (called “The Fantine Company”) opened at Los Angeles’ Shubert Theatre on 1 June 1988. The production played for fourteen months then transferred to San Francisco’s Curran Theatre where it enjoyed a similar run.- The Third National Tour of Les Misérables (called “The Marius Company”) was one of the longest running American touring musical productions. Opening on 28 November 1988, at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in Florida, and closing on 23 July 2006, at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri,[58] the tour ran for seventeen years and 7,061 performances. The tour played in 145 cities in 43 states.
Sam’s Broadway page gives us some, but not all, of the necessary information.

Great, because we know the Second National Tour didn’t stop in Chicago already.
From this article, published March 30, 1988:
- Sam B. Riegel, an animated, dark-eyed 11-year-old from Arlington, will play alternate for Gavroche. He will share the role with an out-of-town actor in the limited Washington run that opens at the Eisenhower Theater July 5, according to a spokesman for the production.
Tour dates for the first national tour:

It stopped in Chicago March 18-September 2, 1989, as well as March 16-September 29, 1991. I would say we are looking probably at the 1989 tour stop.
The third national tour is where it gets interesting. The opening night credits include:



They don’t do a single performance in Chicago. Therefore we know that the actor who understudied Gavroche, also the kid John Mulaney wanted to kill, was in the First National Tour.
However, we know that only the originating actors are credited, and we still don’t know when Sam switched from the Third to the First National Tour.
There are a few sources that help us, however:

We can gather that Sam and Eden only were with the Third National Tour for 4 months. Eden is credited as the Alternate to Cosette and Eponine in the actual Broadway production, whereas Sam:

DEFINITELY REPLACED THE GAVROCHE ALTERNATE IN THE FIRST NATIONAL TOUR! The only thing to do now is to figure out the timeline. If they in fact only performed with the Third National Tour for 4 months, then they would have been free starting October 1988 at the earliest. At that point, the First National Tour was just starting its performances in Philadelphia, the stop right before Chicago.
I couldn’t find a cast list for the Chicago 1989 performances, so I looked for the surrounding performances of the Forrest Theater in Philadelphia and the Fisher Theater in Detroit. The only thing I can find is that Eden, Sam’s sister, was still with Les Miserables in 1990. However, I can’t find anything about Sam specifically! Please let me know if you can!
tldr: Sam MAY ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN the kid John Mulaney wanted to beat up for being the Gavroche understudy. I especially believe it to be the case because every person wants to beat up Sam upon meeting him.
this is the funniest fucking conspiracy theory of 2019 like where else am I going to get bard nemesis drama that could possibly be a better match up

explainguncontrolandsafespaces:
It’s like millennials do not understand that middle east has been at war for 1000′s of years. That we intervened on behalf of Kuwait. That without “bombing” people that want to kill and oppress others, millions will be murdered and tortured.
“at war for 1000′s of years”
you clearly know nothing about Afghanistan nor the middle east
here’s Afghanistan in the 1950′s, 60′s, & 70′s

























It’s interesting to note that when the communist government came to power in Afghanistan in the late 70′s, one of the first things they did was declare equality of the sexes, made education for girls mandatory, & banned child marriages. The conservative tribal leaders who the US armed & funded (& who later became the Taliban) declared this to be a “war on Islam” & fought against the central government.
The US had no problem back then with encouraging the growth of Islamic conservatism to counter socialism/communism. You created your biggest enemy & you have no one to blame but yourselves.
BLESS THIS POST
its crazy to me how the US talks about war in the middle east as if its this ancient problem inherent to the area instead of a recent problem created by western countries to further their own interests.

the CIA took out the democratically elected leader of Iran in the 1970s over oil and that set off an entire chain of events leading to ISIS, here’s more about multiple other countries we’ve fucked over

The adhd modes of food
1. You ate that burger so fast. You ate that burger so fucking fast and now the whole Red Robin is staring at you god what the fuck
2. You started eating like a normal person, but then you started talking or daydreaming and now the waitress is handing you the check but you’ve still got half a plate of cold fettuccine
3. You were going to go out to eat, but then you saw a video in your YouTube recommendation that drew you towards it like moth to a flame, and now it’s 10 pm and you’ve got an empty bag of tortilla chips in your hand and shame in your heart
4. Mac And Cheese
5. You got engrossed in a project, suddenly you feel like you’re going to die, or faint, or both? Oh. you’re hungry.
6. You’re hungry. But every food you can think of sounds disgusting. Time for your 15th day of lunchables for breakfast in a row.
ok no need to call me out directly
