In the production I saw in Seattle in April 2026, Thenardier took a blind man's canary and put it in his soup during "Master of the House".

Javert kills himself by jumping off a bridge in a very dark scene.
After Gavroche dies and all of his friends die one by one, Grantaire climbs the barricade in order to be killed alongside them, which is arguably suicide.

Almost everyone in the audience jumped when Valjean shot his gun into the air instead of killing Javert. Some of the gunshots and cannons during the battle scenes are jarring.

The word "queer" is used as a noun.
In the original lyric in "Beggars at the Feast", Thenardier says, "This one's a queer, but what can you do?" In the version I saw, he says "This one's a queer, I might try it too," which is meant to be more accepting, but some people still find it offensive (why is the villain bi for comic effect?).

Grantaire and Enjolras are heavily implied/canonically queer in the novel, but not so much in the musical.

Valjean is basically stalked by Javert; Marius also could be seen as stalking Cosette when he asks Eponine to discover where she lives.

Javert jumps off a bridge to his death. In the stage production, he "jumps", and the background makes it seem like he's falling into the water until it fades to black.

"Drink with me to days gone by
Can it be you fear to die?
Will the world remember you when you fall?
Could it be your death means nothing at all?
Is your life just one more lie?"
-Grantaire.

Based on the show I saw in Seattle:
-At the End of the Day: suggestive lyrics and the word "b-tch" (referring to a dog, mostly)
-Lovely Ladies: lots of suggestive poses/lyrics and the like
-Master of the House: the Thenardiers are truly despicable, for one thing. Madame Thenardier says "sh-t" and implies that her husband has a small...y'know ("Thinks he's quite a lover but there's not much there").
-Red & Black: when Grantaire says "Here he comes like Don Juan", he puts a small bottle of alcohol between his legs to represent a...certain part of his anatomy.
-Javert at the Barricade: Gavroche gives the finger to Javert.
-Beggars at the Feast: Thenardier says "This one's a queer, I might try it too", which is an amendment to the original more homophobic lyric, but I can see why people still find this version offensive.
