Posted: 5/25/08 at 6:26pmI am *so* going. Just to see Hugh. And hopefully a better Eponine and Thenardier than the ones I saw on tour.

Taka, I thought Christina was a very good Eponine. I'd become pretty bored with the character, but I really liked her.
Thenardier...I can take or leave the character as a rule. Scott was, perhaps, a little too likable...but this was the first time in years I didn't sigh and wish "Master of the House" would end already.
I did a informal review, but it's far too long to repost here. I need to condense it later for my blog, but here's the link to it for now.

Posted: 5/25/08 at 8:24pmI'm pretty sure it's the leg. Later, while he is coming onstage for Empty Chairs, he is using a cane to support his right leg, I believe. And he grabs his leg when he gets shot.

Yeah I know, but he grabs his right leg in this show.
It doesn't make sense though... how does he get shot in the butt when he is facing the barricade?

Posted: 5/26/08 at 1:29amI'd like to know that myself, actually. But it happened.

I seem to recall him getting shot in the butt with enough force to spin him around!

Posted: 5/26/08 at 1:52amMarianne, I did the same. I loved watching the barricade boys during Master of The House. Drew Sarich tonguing an empty bottle and then licking his fingers before stumbling off to the back was a favorite of mine. :p

I should mention that Hugh will not be doing the Tuesday performances. Nicholas Saverine will cover the role until July 20, Jeffrey Coons will cover it after that.
