Les Miserables Film Script Released (?)
Oct 18 2012, 06:42:49 PM
Wow...... this makes me so excited for the movie! However, I was crushed that they omitted part of a little fall of rain..... I love that part.  ?format=auto&width=600
And I have mixed feelings about the new verse for Eponine instead of the "Hey watcha do with all them books." Part. I thought that the new bit was rather poorly written - Eponine wouldn't really say that. In the show, "I know a lot of things I do," because it is so touching, and it ties in to Eponines errand. It shows how she is trying to prove herself to him, but he's like, no, you don't know this stuff. And then later; he asks her to find Cosette; and she's like, well, I guess this is all I know, all I'll ever be to him.
As for the song re-arrangement.... they did not think about it enough. IDAD, at first glance, seems to work. But it doesn't. IDAD is literally sung (in the stage show) at Fantines breaking point - she breaks, the spirals down from there. It isn't meant to be sung at her lowest point, because by that point she isn't innocent enough. IDAD is a very innocent song. I hate how they moved OMO to before One Day More. OMO is supposed to be Eponine, en route to the barricades, saying yeah, I know I'm imagining this, I know I'm wrong - but I'm going back to the barricades anyway. Even though I know he doesn't love me, I want to be with him. As for DYHTPS, they should NEVER have moved it. That song is supposed to be the students, rallying up, preparing to fight for their cause; all fired up. It's "Lets fight for freedom!" NOT "Ok, we're at the barricades about to fight!" The song is more idealistic then that.
IMO

I have no idea. I would suppose so, though. Seeing as it opened in 1996.

Miss Saigon Movie
Sep 28 2012, 10:06:36 PM
I can see Miss Saigon as a better movie then Les Miserables. It has a bit simpler story, and it's not as widely done; so it's not as 'set' as Les Mis. While I am very dubious about the Les Mis movie, I could get really excited for this.
I would say Ramin Karimloo for Chris.... although maybe he's to old.
