The headlining cast includes Lea Salonga, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Stephanie J. Block with more stars to be announced.

Does anyone know more about this? The songlist? Will it be filmed for dvd?

I hope there will be a lot of Miss Saigon stuff, as the wonderful Lea is now still able to sing it.

It's just a variation on the DYHTPS concert that's been touring for a few months now.

What do they perform from Revolution Francais? Didn't they only do about half of that score? (It's been ages since I've pulled out the vinyl copy I found of it).

"It's just a variation on the DYHTPS concert that's been touring for a few months now"

That's interesting. Can you tell me more about it?
I suppose that tour had a different cast?
Will they change the show too?
Will these people only sing for 1 night?

Lizzie - That review in your second link is for the new Les Miserables tour.

I wish I could see this concert! It sounds like a wonderful evening.

Does anyone know if they plan to tour the concert to more cities?
I would love to see this!!!!

Gah, sorry!

But NDR, if you click on schedule in the (non-Les Miz review) link I posted, you'll get your answer.

Read about this and got very excited. Would be thrilled to see the music of my favorite show played live and be the focus of the night. Out of every single review and article I read, not one could confirm an ittdy bitty detail that to me, is the deciding factor between going out to see this or preferring to stay at home and skip it and use that money on...pizza and beer, or something. Now follows a shocking question...





...do they use John Cameron's orchestration or the new concoction?

I don't think Stephanie will be doing the concerts now that she is taking over for Sutton in Anything Goes. Will Kathy Voytko be the replacement?
