I so totally agree about James Judy. I had never heard of him prior to this show. I was so disapppointed in Javert. For me Javert is more the main character than ValJean. If I don't like Javert, I don't like the show.
Thank goodness for Autumn and the rest of the cast...If it wasn't for them...and the fact that I was sitting in the middle of the row....I probably would have gotten up and walked out.
I mean when a main character dies and the audience laughs at the death scen

I saw the show for the 5th time on June 23rd and have to save I was very surprised.
Apparently there was a cast change.
James Judy is now Javert...and sad to say...I was not impressed. He was too comical for the role. I didn't care for his voice and sadly...people around me actually laughed at the death scene.
The new Fantine, Autumn Hurlbert was wonderful. I loved her voice.
And Kelly McCormmick was PHENOMENAL!!!! Her performance for this show was unbelie

I loved what they did. It was neat. She had done a similar thing the other times I saw it.
the thing that I thought was fun was Grantaire did a different dance this time while he was teasing Marius.

Saw the show today. Sat 3rd row loge. It was interesting seeing the show from up there. Never been that far up before. It was fun as I saw some things I had not seen before.
Nothing much new. The show is as wonderful as ever.

Utah loves the show...but the Theatre for the first time ever has gone into other states with advertising. I know that they have reported that Idaho has been a big buyer. So I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people are coming in from out of state.
I have gone to other shows and know that there is a college in Wyoming that brings certain students down for the shows.
I go by the theatre 2 times a day and every weekday that a matinee is held there are school buses parked ou

I went to the Matinee today...pretty much the same as last night...other than Greg made a point of getting his line right in the Cafe. it was cute.
I was on the front row on stage right...it was interesting as I was able to see things I didn't see the night before as I was on the other side.
Got to meet and talk to several of the cast members after the show. They were really cute. I was disappointed tho that William and Merwin didn't come out the stage door. Luckily I have

They actually have the background look like buildings. Actually it kind of reminded me like an alley way you might see between buildings. There are doors, windows, the one end has like a fire escape that they use alot, there is like a balcony all the way around the 2nd level.
People are up there quite often. In the Garden scene between Marius and Cossette, Eponine is up on this balcony area doing her part.

I just got home from the show. I was pleasantly surprised. I had never seen any of the performers except the man that played Thenardier.
It was the original LONG version...3 hours.
It was cute as Greg Goodbrod forgot one of his lines and repeated the same line twice. He realized what he did and smiled.
I really liked Merwin Foard as Javert and Michael Halling as Enjolras.
I am hoping that William Solo will grow on me.
I really like the way that t

I just got back from seeing the Utah Symphony's Salute to Sondheim staring Gregg Edelman and Alice Ripley.
What a thrill it was to see 2 former Les Mis people in person that I had never seen before.
We talked about the upcoming shows and both Alice and Gregg said that Merwin is wonderful. And has a big voice.
Now I am even more excited to see the show.

I just found this board...and would like to post a couple things..
I am so excited that Les Mis is coming to SLC. Salt Lake loves Les Mis. The show at the Pioneer Memorial theatre has changed the date now 4 times...it is now playing April 27 - June 23. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes longer.
I looked at the ticket sales yesterday and according to their website there were still tickets available. I did a check for a single seat on one of the nights that was open in the ar
