Posted: 3/2/07 at 7:29pmI'm reminded of why I love her so much. She always puts so much into her songs, and her acting (especially facial expressions) just always blows me away.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Oh man. (That's a good "oh man.")
And she still looks like she's 20!

Watching them rehearse in their street clothes

Posted: 3/2/07 at 8:22pmThough not a big fan of the show by any means, Salonga makes it worth seeing. She is wonderful!

she's amazing.
i love her facial expressions.

Posted: 3/2/07 at 10:01pmNorm Lewis and Alexander Gemignani are better in the rehearsal video than they were in the show when I saw it. The ensemble is still great. I'm hoping that this means Lea's energy has given off a positive vibe to the other principles. I know I'll be visiting tkts soon to see this show again. I love Lea (had the privilege of seeing her close Miss Saigon) and hopefully by then the principles will have improved since I last saw it.

Seeing this video reminded me why I love Les Mis so much.
it has been my first musical-love, and i kinda put it aside, and the songs became too familiar to me, there was nothing new in any production i heard. but Salonga's performance really reminds why and how, this is a great musical, written to perfection (for its genre) and a top-notch score, made greater by great performers.

Posted: 3/2/07 at 10:23pmShe is so wonderful. I cant wait to see her as Fantine. I think its going to be weird for the other actors hearing a nromal voice coming out of Fantine. Haha Oh Daphne. But anyway, Lea is amazing!!

Rights.

Now the wheel has turned around,
Jean Valjean is nothing now.
Dare you talk to me of crime,
And the price you had to pay.
Every man is born in sin.
Every man must choose his way.
You know nothing of Javert.
I was born inside a jail,
I was born with s like you,
I am from the gutter too!"

Posted: 3/2/07 at 10:38pmI've never been the biggest fan of Ms. Salonga, but I will say that she looks and sounds wonderful. I hope to see her very soon.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 3/2/07 at 10:43pmShe looks grogeous. My trip to NY will probably not include Les Mis, but I may possibly go again in the summer, so I hope to include it for that trip.

Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...
