LES MISÉRABLES extends limited engagement — Page 3

What a shock (not )

I am glad it is extending but would have bet money before it opened that it would. Now maybe they will start selling merchandise unless they have already started

While I had the same "Wow, surprise..." expression some people on here have had, the people who are saying "Dear God, why?" need to shut the hell up. When there's crap like "High Fidelity" closing after two weeks, I think Broadway can certainly stand another couple months of Les Miz. It blows me away that I can read people's responces who post 1000x more often than I do, and they're always bitchy... Cheer Up, it's the f***ing holidays!

I never got to see Les Miz the first time around, and i;m sure i'm not th eonly one who missed it. I saw the revival and fell in love, I never want this show to close!!

I'm certainly not surprised but I must admit I was hoping it would have to close for one reason. I don't want producers to think it is ok to cut the cast and the orchestra in half and pass it of as the same show. I miss the Broadway production of the show which I will always remember as my favorite show.

I have been disappointed by the cold reception this revival has gotten here, by some people, ever since the revival was announced. I am trying to understand your points, why New Yorkers might get bored having the same shows on Broadway year after year and the desire for new shows. There are at least two shows I think deserve a chance to shine on Broadway, "Yoduk Story" and "Lord of the Rings." Still, I believe in the free market and if the producers and investors are still making money, more power to them.

Also, I have come to accept the fact that there will probably not be a cast recording, though if they can get Lea Salonga as the replacement Fantine, I would like to have a recording with her as Fantine. Having her in the cast would make me more eager to buy a recording.

Maybe they were having an off night, but I saw Les Mis on Monday, and it was the second worst thing I have seen on Broadway out of the 30 somethings show I have seen.

It sounds, looks, and feels like they watched a bootleg video of the 1999 Toronto tour, and that served as their director. They sang the write notes, they moved to the right places, but it never really jelled into a good production. It was nearly completing lacking any HEART or PASSION. Something that is ESSENTIAL to a show, that is not terribly well written.

I kept on forgetting I was watching a Broadway show.

Grandted, there were some great performances, mainly Galloway, Lazar, Lewis, some great acting from Bolger.

It was a Monday, and they were tired. Talking to Bolger after, she said the cast was really tired, as Sir Money Grabber Mackintosh has them on a hellish Christmas Performance Schedule, and that's understandable, but for the whole show it be in such poor condition is not exceptable for Broadway.

Is this the Jacob that plays Gavroche? I saw him in it. He was awesome. Also, he souvenir program, does it feature pics of this cast?
