Namo* sees Andrea McArdle in Les Miz in Maine

Special thanks to MGD for explaining how to post photos better.

Okay so after A Chorus Line and seeing Zach in the window of a place eating a sandwhich my friend said You know what we should do is go up to Ogunquite and see Les Miserabes in Maine and I said no, A Chorus Line is one road trip for the day!! But then my friend said Andrea McCardle is in it and he KNOWS how much I loved Annie so LOL we climbed in the car and went to the North!

As soon as we crossed the line into Maine we stopped and set the camera on a rock and took out photo in the pretty trees. But I think somehow we are not in it but outside of it LOL!

So up the way did you know there is a kitched named Stonewall Kitchen like a gay Martha Stuart kitchen? There is!!! I was so excited to go to it I forgot to take any photos of it but I tasted stuff you dip pretzels in, YUM, and will have to go to the gym an extra hour!

As you drive into Ogunquite its Ley Miz Mania! Everyplace you look there are flags and whatnot telling you you have to go see it with pictures.

re: Namo* sees Andrea McArdle in Les Miz in Maine

I do not know if these people were in the cast, they were outside before and I didn't want to get caught taking there pictures before the show so I moved quick!

The one on the right might of been Javert the bad guy who kills himself [spoiler!].

So now onto the show!

I will start with the negatives!

The negative is I was looking for somebody named TheaterDiva in the Playbill to find him but I do not think I saw the name TheaterDiva so I was sad. re: Namo* sees Andrea McArdle in Les Miz in Maine

That is the only negative.

Now for the plusses. YOU SHOULD SEE LES MIZ IN MAINE IF YOU CAN.

Okay they say in their slogan at Ogunquit Playhouse "Broadway by the Beach" and I thought, "Oh yeah RIGHT" BUT IT IS!

I have been to both Broadway and Ogunquit and in several ways it is so very true.

Okay, I am not going to give you the whole plot because it is hard.

But [spoiler] Andrea McArdle dies to early! I loved her. She is so great!!! She sings a few songs and is very sad and dies. I wanted her to come back. [spoiler] And she does at the end and that was confusing but I was so glad to see her I was afraid she went home.

Ivan Rushmore who I think was Austin from on here's ex is an AWESOME Val Jean. He has played the show 2000 times not just in Ogunquit but everywhere.

He has a voice so clear and pretty.

Everybody is gorgeous. I loved the guy who was the head of the students. HE WAS SIMBA on THE LION KING ON BROADWAY for FIVE YEARS and I can see why, he is gorgeous and he can SING!!!! I wish I could see him as Simba with his shirt off!!! LOL LOL

The Thermadiers were so funny perhaps you know their song "Master of the House" from Seinfeld starring that racist guy. My friend from Boston said the Guy Thernarererdier was a guy who does Showgirls in Provincetown who we saw three years ago but I didn't know him without drag or gendermess.

Now I can't get their song out of my head like George!

Everybody else was perfect and the sets were amazing and DID NOT SPIN which is a plus cuz I get dizzy! LOL. And the costumes were AMAZING.

They had a talkback after and the whole cast was there including Andrea and do you know what I found out when I got home? Eponine was her daughter, NOT COSETTE. I mean in real life.

They didn't even make a big deal of it in the talkback which they should because people would of clapped like they clap on Oprah when you lose weight or Suze Orman makes people pay your bills for you.

Anyway, I am NOT kidding, go to it if you can it is SO worth it and everybody is so good I would not steer you wrong.

Marius is gorgeous and can sing to. See if you can get a picture of the Simba guy the head of the students.

I am sorry I did not take pictures at the talkback I was so excited I forget.

I give this show 11 out of 10.

Go to it. I am not kidding. GO!

Oh yeah in the talkback they said they made all their own costumes from scratch.

Sometimes they buy them from Broadway but they made their own! The wedding dresses were like Madonna from Vogue from the MTV Awards that one time.

You wouldn't believe it.

GO!

re: Namo* sees Andrea McArdle in Les Miz in Maine

Oh and what made it an 11 and not just a 10 was the line "that one is a queer!" from Master of the House Part 2.

That was so great! LOL

re: Namo* sees Andrea McArdle in Les Miz in Maine

But if the set does not go around does the Forbidden Broadway spoof still make sense to people who have not seen it except in Ogonquin? And Eponine is not Cosette's daughter in the show is she? I could never figure it out. I guess cuz I only care about the guys. NOt the old guys (or the young guys dressed up like old guys) the real young guys.
Which one played the queer? Was that theatrediva91210?
PEACE.

But did they find a way to give Fantine a dog? I mean, it would just be so, like, "inside" to have this particular Fantine appear with a dog. Hey, maybe a French Poodle? She could pull the burrs out of his curly tail during "I Dreamed A Dream." But of course, if it's, like, a fake lab or something, with sandy colored fur (!) we'd all "get it."

re: Namo* sees Andrea McArdle in Les Miz in Maine

I never thought of that! Have you thought of being a director? That is very creative! My friend who was a grad student before he dropped out said I Dreamed A Dream is the Jungian (sp?) shadow of "Tomorrow.". I didn't get it. LOL.

re: Namo* sees Andrea McArdle in Les Miz in Maine

Did she sign? I heard she only signs if you don't mention any shows but the one she's doing right now, you know, that particular night or day if it's a matinee. I had a friend who liked rushed up to her after STATE FAIR talking about how she shoulda beat Dorothy Loudon for the Tony, and she called this security guard (who was pretty cute, I have to admit -- speaking of pecs). And she sure didn't sign THAT day.
