Oh absolutely

This is a group of us from John Brown University. A large group were music majors. I wrote and directed it, and we all had a total blast. Thanks so much for the encouragement!

Suzie Dayz thanks Suzie!!

Now I'm inspired to do something like this for my talent show-only hating on my choir teacher (who also is directing Les Mis for us)

These students can really sing. And they can laugh at themselves.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE SEEN EVER

Les Mis is one of my favorite musicals and I found this to be amazing

This parody is too underated

2.601! I couldn't stop laughing

Ha, thank you! I can't describe it any other way than, "it just came to me." I had the idea for his name, and then the "two-point-six-oh-one" and then it really wrote itself.

Ha, thanks! Before I ever wrote the full script or any of this came to be, that was the second joke that entered my mind. The first was, "John Brownjohn," then quickly after, "2.601." After that it just had to come to life.

Very creative!! Great job to everyone, it was superb

so amazing!!!

This was amazing, I want to go see this

SO proud of you all! This was pretty epic.

The guy who plays the bishop is amazing!

SO MUCH PERFECTION

So heartwarming.....

Goosebumps.

This is amazing

This is my favourite video ever

This is awesome!

Brilliant!!!

Best parody ever

This is so smart! You guys are so awesome for doing this XD

this is sooooooo cool!

Good job! You all deserved first place! I'm an '06 grad. I don't know any of you but it gave me goosebumps at the end. :)

This is awesome ;)

Brilliant

So cool and funny!

Heck some of these guys and gals might find success on stage in the musical les mis some day.

Well done.

oh man, this was soooo goood..:D bravo!..)

*bows down* incredible

This was honestly better than the actual Les Mis musical

​ @Justin Mertes if you send my your lyrics, I can make captions for this video!

He interrupts Rod Reed, saying "Rod Reed you didn't get tenure".

6:28 she's amazing

Darn clever American Uni students!

I don't mean to be judgemental, and don't say "Can you sing better? So don't judge!1!1!!!!1" because I CAN sing. This is good, I adore it. The only one I'm disappointed in is, my favourite character, Éponine. I just didn't like her voice at all... I noticed she started to get out of breath. I suggest more practise ^^ After that, I'm sure she'll be great. She'll be AMAZING

In the academic world, achieving tenure is receiving the guarantee of employment for as long as you choose. Getting tenure is a huge deal, so not getting it is devastating. It's synonymous with him committing suicide in the book/movies.

What for he say at 8:11???

This was well done, excellent work, Bravo !
