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?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

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?

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,

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.

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!!!

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.

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!
Ickle,
If God is telling you to go into worship leading you need to follow him. If you want to ever find true contentment follow God's will!!!
God Bless You for wanting to be used by God!

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
