So yes, evadiva was joking. Unless Daphne reads this site and after all of the bashing we've done about her in Les Mis I doubt that she does anymore, she can't hear you.

Posted: 3/5/07 at 9:39amI have not been able to watch the whole video yet, my computer is slow when downloading videos. So far, I think Lea is doing great(as usual). Dan Bogart, who I am pretty sure is Bamatabois, was pretty good too. Who was the women cast member setting next to Lea during the "At the End of the Day" clip?

Matt Clemens is also one of the constables.
Who's the constable with the sides of his head shaved?

My very first question was not about Norm as Javert, but about the return of Lea Salonga as Fantine this weekend. Of course we would get to Norm, but this was breaking news to which he was also very happy to share. "She just fit right into this show as if she belonged there. Well, having been part of the production before, she knew exactly what to do. It went very smoothly ." The huge crowd outside the theater certainly showed their appreciation for her return. Norm has had a great time with Les Miserables and everyone has been top notch to work with.

So, come the summer, we'll have a new Javert, a new Enjolras, a new Eponine, and, based on rumors, a new Marius...
I'm hoping that, since they were able to get LEA. EFFIN'. SALONGA. to take over for DRV, they can get other top-notch replacements for the other roles.
Of course, thats just a hope.

I ADORE this woman!
Lea on motherhood
Ferreol: You just had a daughter. How has being a mother contributed to your role?
Salonga: I've been getting more weepy than I ever was before. I never thought that I would be so sensitive when I was single. Then I had my child, and different feelings just surfaced.
At my first rehearsal, I couldn't stop crying when I got to Fantine's death. She was singing directly to her daughter and wanting her, and I was just a total, complete, utter mess.
