Here's what you need to know before you read my twisted version of "One Day More"
All the actors in the musical have been in Les Mis since God knows when. All that is, except for Marius and Cosette and the Thenardier's. Marius and Cosette just absoluetly adore the show and M. and MME. Thenardier love watching people hate the show. But the rest of the actors are fed up with being in the show because when ever a director sees their resume they see the title of Les Mis and then the character they played and they turn them down. So to sum it up: EVERYONE hates Les Mis except for Marius and Cosette. It took me forever to write this!!
One Show More
VALJEAN
One show more!
Another show, some more misery.
This never-ending road to my final bow;
These fans who seem to know my lines
Will surely come a sixteenth time.
One show more!
MARIUS
I did not live until Les Mis.
How can I live when it is over?
VALJEAN
One show more.
MARIUS & COSETTE
Tomorrow we'll do this again
And yet the show has never lost its wonder!
EPONINE
One more show belting the same songs.
MARIUS & COSETTE
Will I ever be the same again?
EPONINE
One more show in these ratty costumes.
MARIUS & COSETTE
I was born to do this show.
EPONINE
What a career I might have known.
MARIUS & COSETTE
And I swear I will be in tune!
EPONINE
But of course they saw me there!
ENJOLRAS
One more show before I crack!
MARIUS
Do I join the touring company?
ENJOLRAS
At this good- for- nothing theatre..
MARIUS
Shall I stay right where I am?
ENJOLRAS
When our audience begins to grow
MARIUS
Do I stay or do I go?
ENJOLRAS
Will you quit Les Mis with me?

One more show 'til my final boq,
I will jump, and run, and scream!
I will leave these little amaetures,
They will blind themselves with tears!
VALJEAN
One show more!
M. & MME. THENARDIER
Watch 'em run amuck,
Trying to escape,
Never know how much fun
it is to be in Les Mis,
Rarely do we sing
We normally sit back stage
Sleeping and uh, laughing
while the leads all sing!
