Thanks for posting this! Now I have to go before she leaves!

At least the dates are offical now.

It is a little longer than I thought...

this might be old news but...who's replacing her while she's gone?

well the show has quietly extended through the summer. No announcement has been made but I was told this by the boxoffice person, who also mentioned that tickets were on sale through the end of the summer to groups. seems to me they are going to extend for quite a while.

APRIL 11

I guess this means that they are extending

So who's Fantine?

They should get Emy Baysic. She can sing up a storm and what an actress. What a Kim in Miss Saigon she was.

To fengshuihellnyc:

Thanks for sharing!
Maybe we'll get our hands on some more merch. too.
But that recording...one can just hope for now.

i must admit that i feel like they should have given the part to someone else if she was going to miss 1/3 of the run....but i'm saying that partly because i did not enjoy her performance at all lol

This is a little out of context but I saw Les Miz, Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. It was a sold out show and this revival is a show to see. The orchestration was indeed updated and the colors (lighting) were beautiful. This time, they used very rich warm hues almost like looking at a painting. I was surprisingly impressed with the acting and singing abilities of Adam Jacobs (Marius) and Ali Ewoldt (Cosette). Both stood out and outstaged Eponine and Fantine that night and got me all teary eyed at the end. Celia Keenan Bolger was a good actress and a fantastic singer but she overacted her "Little Fall of Rain." She was a little too frantic and anxious to kiss Marius which looked weird especially from someone who's dying. Daphne Rubin-Vega was a good actress as well. Her infamous vocals were suited for a modern rock opera, maybe not for Fantine. Alexander Gemignani was a very good JVJ but not the best that I've seen. Norm Lewis' vocals for Javert was astounding and flawless but he needs to come out of his shell to portray a more demanding and persistent Javert. Although some of the blockings have been changed, the scene when JVJ joins Fantine and Eponine at the end looked awkward. Overall, it is still an amazing production.
