Javert from LES MIS all the way! Terrence Mann, *sigh*
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~
It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known. ~A Tale of Two Cities ~
I thought one of the main points of Les Miz was that Javert was not really a bad guy, and the Thenadiers were the true villains of the story. Or at least that's what I always believed.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
Is it fair to say that the adults in Spring Awakening were pretty much the "villians" to counterpoint the needs of the kids?
Herr Kenuckenbrook or whatever, that part had me absolutely rolling each time those funny scholar hats went on. The teachers were absolutely dastard, but oh so comical.
She was the only one out when I went, but her understudy was delightfully monotone and played it straight, I was onstage and couldn't stop grinning as she'd advance closer until she robotically turned. Quite an enjoyable villianess I'd say!

Yea, the Witch is NOT the villian in that show, at all, and calling her such, proves her right "I'm not good, I'm not bad, I'm just right/I'm the witch/You're the world"...but that's been discussed in depth somewhere
