I will defend Antonio 5ever, so I respect you (and others) for defending actors in roles that others disagree with.

You have a valid point, and I actually rather like this production still is he wearing red velvet?? (I think it’s velour but it counts!)

…and yet, we also have Lee Pace…

I liked the idea of the druids not letting him cut his hair. Something about that felt like another means of trying to break him, by taking away his ability to even choose his own grooming, they were trying to chip away at his sense of self, the better to give himself over to what they wanted him to be for them.

Maybe part of why Marius was drawn to rescue Armand from the brothel is that he could relate to the frustration of imprisonment, though his own abuse was very different from Armand’s.
