    I love how the actor singing Enjolras starts up the down-escalator, mimicking the revolving stage when it's performed, and the two-steps forward, two-steps back they do when this song is performed in the musical. Such a little thing, but it's a very clever piece of business when performing in a non-theatre venue like this.

    This is the kind of flash mob I like…the ones where you can tell all the people around weren’t expecting a flash mob in the middle of a public square to happen by giving them lots of empty space. When the flash mob is literally surrounded by non mobbers then you know it’s going to be a good one and not one that feels like any other performances…I hope that made sense🤔

    One of the male singers started his career with my ex-wife teaching him singing and i had the very great pleasure of having him sing beside me as the other tenor in the choir i was in at the time. Through hard work and constant practice, he has become a fine baritone and a wonderful husband and father to his family of about twenty boys (well that is an exaggeration, but he doesn't know how to produce girls as yet) Josh, you are a hero to me and hopefully remain a good friend for my remaining years, even though you live in Adelaide and I live in Coffs Harbour. I think the chances of the two of us singing "In the depths of the temple" have long gone but it would have been fun to try it!!!

    So, so good! Best place to do it too. The central markets was the best place to work in, there's always something happening. Bands used to jam there on Friday nights, and at Chinese new year it utterly goes OFF. Loved seeing some faces I remember from my time there

    After the past 2 years of isolation and divisiveness over mandates, I found myself watching flash mobs etc. This is fantastic! Double edged sword though. We can't turn the world back and we have lost what we don't realize. 🙏

      Well worded, Denise, and that loss is exactly what Les Miserables is about.

    Wow I know this market well. I am from New York but I lived in Glenelg for 14 months and shopped in the market many times. I wish I had been there for this performance. That's Australia for you a really remarkable country.

    It's been a long time since I've seen a large gathering of people together on social media and been inspired with love instead of dismay and despair
