Les Miserables

[WhenFinallySetFree777]

My county is doing this for our summer musical, and I've come to really love it. It is the most beautiful and heart-wrenching production, and I haven't even seen it - I just know the plot. Comments?

It is truly the most epic and beautiful musicals in the history of broadway, in my opinion. No doubt, many would agree.

Even listening to the soundtrack will show that it is amazing - how many other musicals can do that?

 

[Addaperle]

I love it, though I've never seen it live, only the DVD of the concert version... makes me cry everytime!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

Its Awesome!! The Characters are all so full. The Music is also brilliant! Youll have a blast!

I love Les Miserables! Colm Wilkinson is the absolute best Jean valJean. I was lucky enough to see a travelling performance when I was 10 or so. I don't remember alot about it, but I absolutely remember feeling my hackles rise when "Do You Hear The People Sing" started, and "One Day More" always makes my heart sore. I also love "Bring Him Home" and "A Little Fall Of Rain".
Hopefully the community theatre I hang out at will be putting this on in April of next year,

Me either, man. It's tough.

The production came to town several years ago with the whole rotating stage and stuff.
It was one of the most powerful things I've ever seen.

Phantom of the Opera was not even in the same galaxy as this was.

Yep, we got that too. Really neat.

Too bad I'm down in the pit and don't get to see it actually turn.

our highschool's drama club might do it for one of our musicals this year. if we do i think im auditioning

 

[Juniper]

ooh this is like the best musical ever next to POTO. One Day More is prob. my favorite song. I saw it on broadway, and it was awesome.

i LOVE this musical. Our college (tofty private schooll...urgh) did a like £3000 production of it last february. Hired the revolving stage and costume replicas etc. was AMAZING. I played EPONINE, which was the BEST role to play ever. literally, you can get SO involved in your characters it truley is amazing feeling to be up there playing such a great role. I love 'On my Own' and 'Heart full of Love' now. And 'Empty chairs at empty tables' is the best song EVER.

It's my ambition to play Eponine on the West End now, so slowly going to work my way up through Uni stuff, possibly do a postgrad degree in music theatre to get there, but want to do worship leading so not sure yet! but..... I love this Musical!!!

 

[Eruliel]

I'm auditioning for Eponine...or at least I think I am. I lost my practice tape at the community theatre. Stupid airheaded memory of mine. Anyway I got to see the rotating stage. Our stage unfortunatly is a thrust/theatre in the round. The floor is hard concrete so we can't rotate people on the stage unless we tell them to turn themselves.
Slainte!

Cool show. I love "Stars." 2 guys in my HS theater dept. did it for District competition, one of them went to state and got a superior I think!

One Day More is prob. my favorite song. I saw it on broadway, and it was awesome.

The cast and orchestra begged to rehearse this song. Sooo amazingly beautiful.

 

[flyingangels]

i loved it. my grandparents took me to see it in Seattle, Washington when i was twelve.
it was really great.

 

[WhenFinallySetFree777]

I would love to actually get to see it (though playing for it was a great experience also).

 

[Stacey]

I actually havent seen this as a musical! It's the one I really want to see (And the Producers...) I love the book and the Movie a lot, so I can't see why I wouldn't like the play...

Ah, Les Mis, Les Mis..

For some reason I just can't warm up to that musical. The story's interesting, and I know it's all really quality, but..I just don't like the musical There's a point where all the songs begin to sound the same, and everyone sounds like they're shouting. I think it's just a little too..dramatic for my taste.
But no hard feelings
