Oh I didn't know either.
I strongly dislike that show.

Either way.
A little bit of gratitude would be nice. Not "Oh well if I HAVE to go back on Broadway I will. Oy what a pain in the ass that will be."

Inspirational? I dunno,I'm not down with supporting people who are ungrateful for the chances they have been giving. Sooo many people would kill to have the oppertunities she's had and she obviously doesn't seem to care. It takes a lot to be on Broadway, more so than releasing an album I think, so to have th attitude of "well Broadway was my stepping stone to greater things"...there is nothing greater than succeeding on Broadway. People try and try their entire lives just to be in an ensemble. S

Either way, kudos to any actor who plays Javert and has to do that because it must be hard to leep perfectly in synch with the music and have it make sense.
I wonder what they do when high school perform Les Mis?

Final shows are always sad. I don't even like the show and I'd probably be sad. was it sad?

I love the imagining aspect of it as well, but the truth is over half of the audience is gonna be like "wtf?"
I think it's creative though, coming up with that. I didn't know what to expect with Javert's suicide because I had never seen the show. It was cool considering the limitations of a stage.

Type a Tiff - It's funny you mention that because before it always bugged me that every single time standing ovations would be given because standing ovations represent a hugely successful performance. But I saw Putnam County Spelling Bee over the summer and the audience was SO bad. They barely clapped and the actors were doing a great job. My friends and I gave a standing ovation..so like 4 of us, because we felt so bad that NO one was freakin' even clapping. The only other people who gave them

Ah ha. I can beat you. One girl at my school thinks The Little Mermaid revolutionized musicals. Dead serious.

Plus the Broadway stars back then had the status of a movie star, right?
As far as talent? First names that come to mind are Sutton Foster (for her triple-threat being) and Victoria Clarke (that's self-explanatory)

No I agree Norm Lewis was great.
Slow mo doesn't work for me either. They had a lot of slow mo in Les Mis. The only slow mo I liked was when the students and the other revolutionaries were first running in, then when they started fighting and slow mo-ing it, it was kind of lame. Thing is, I've never seen slow-mo done completely correctly. It has to be perfecty in synch otherwise it doesn't work. And that's hard to do.

I don't think people would really understand falling into the stage. Actually, if I hadn't already read the novel, I wouldn't have understood the bridge going up until he was "floating and drowning" around on the stage. I think it's a risky scene because it's hard to do.

Nothing. But nothing was happening so I decided to say something while we waited for a review of some sort. Not that I'm expecting them to be better than the usual Wedding Singer reviews so ::shrugs:: I be sorry

I'll take this moment to say that despite the bad movie and bad musical, I love Adam Sandler and Big Daddy and Click and I'm excited for the new movie with him and Don Cheadle. Peace out.
