“ConFROGtation” from Les Muppeterables music by Claude-Michel Schönberg lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel - There’s trouble tonight in the Muppet café
A quarrel that simply won’t frogging go away
The critics are shouting! The scholars are sore!
And somebody’s thrown a baguette at the door!

“For Javert,” they declare, “there is only one name!
Sam Eagle, of course. He was born for the game
He’s stern and severe! He’s the law! He’s the state!
He’d arrest his own mother for showing up late!”

And yes, I agree that the eagle is grand
With a constitution in each feathered hand
But friends, I must ask, with theatrical flair
Why cast an old eagle when JABEAR is right there?

For Fozzie knows failure! He’s lived through the boos!
He’s bombed before crowds who have paid for their pews!
He’s suffered the hecklers, the jeers and the groans
And carried their laughter like bricks in his bones

Now picture this bear with a badge on his chest
A truncheon, a hat, and his Sunday law best
He’s chasing a frog through the streets of Paris
Shouting, “Wocka-wocka! You’re coming with me!”

He sings of the stars and the justice they bring
While Gonzo flies past on a bicycle swing
He swears that the law is unbending and true
Then slips on a fish and arrests Pepe too

“But Sam is more serious!” somebody cries
“Precisely!” I answer, with tears in my eyes
For Muppets are magic when casting goes strange
When creatures we know find the courage to change

The bear who makes jokes is now frightened of grace
The frog who seeks freedom looks fear in the face
And somewhere beneath all the felt and the fluff
A joke becomes human. And isn’t that enough?

So give Sam a gavel! A podium! A chair!
Let him prosecute Fozzie for crimes against hair!
But Javert needs a bear! Let the argument end!
For sometimes the punchline’s the truth, my dear friend #lesmiserables #lesmis #lesmisérables #muppets #musicaltheatre

Pumpkin spice szn really does bring people together 🎃🇫🇷 Who knew Javert was a PSL stan?  If Valjean and Javert from Les Miserables had just worked it out, they could have been @starbucks buddies instead of mortal enemies. What would you order with Javert and JVJ? 👇

Jean Valjean’s Look Of The Day 👕
I love when a look feels custom—the 24601 embroidery gives this up cycled shirt a personal touch and my branded criminal body art gives a peek-a-boo of edge to every look.  Is this a barricade slay?  Lemme know in the comments 👇
