"As I watched their performance on GMA i really don't expect it getting good reviews!"
Why is that (besides Nikki James as Eponine)?

Posted: 3/23/14 at 9:57ambasically they were just walking in different directions all at the same time and singing there was really nothing special to that.

"basically they were just walking in different directions all at the same time and singing there was really nothing special to that."
I don't even know how to respond to stupidity like that.

Posted: 3/23/14 at 11:01amFor GMA they more than likely modified their blocking/dance because they were on TV... Not on a stage.

Did you guys ever see a show where actors walk and move around the stage independent of each other (as if they had their own motivations and agendas) while singing?
IT'S AWFUL!

Posted: 3/23/14 at 11:10amI just hate the walking and singing in a musical. Ruins it for me every time.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Posted: 3/23/14 at 11:52amUgh I really thought they'd get their **** together and get rid of the ridiculous moving around the stage and belting. They've learned nothing from the last two Broadway productions.

Oh... THAT'S why the 25th Anniversary was a concert and not a production like PHANTOM...
But seriously... I'm looking forward to reading the reviews, especially what they've got to say about Ramin.

Posted: 3/23/14 at 12:41pmThey should just park and bark.

Posted: 3/23/14 at 12:47pmWas the photo thread deleted because I asked about where Valjean finds the time to get his body waxed with all he has going on?

I wonder.
But I'll say it again here. Has Hugh Jackman set a new precedent for sexy and ripped Valjeans now?
#16LES MISERABLES Reivews
Posted: 3/23/14 at 1:04pmIf Valjean was forced to do all that heavy lifting everyday for all those years, he would be JACKED. I ain't got no problem with it.
#17LES MISERABLES Reivews
Posted: 3/23/14 at 1:12pmI don't disagree. But in the shirtless picture, Ramin looked sexy and manicured. I can't seem to find the picture anymore.
#18LES MISERABLES Reivews
Posted: 3/23/14 at 1:17pmHe'd be jacked but not, like, model-cut. But that seems to be the norm for Broadway guys nowadays.

#19LES MISERABLES Reivews
Posted: 3/23/14 at 1:20pmMaybe in prison, he decided that he would use his daily routine as an opportunity to be "model-cut". Kad, you don't really know what his motivation is beyond walking and singing.
#20LES MISERABLES Reivews
Posted: 3/23/14 at 1:35pmMaybe hauling ships into drydock is just one part of his workout regimen? Does Mark Fisher Fitness offer a class in that? Do you think Valjean did Snatched?

I don't know. But we'd know if he did CrossFit since he never would have shut up about how he did CrossFit.

Cross fit, cross fit, I do it all the time.
Cross fit, cross fit, it's why I'm in my prime.

On this page
I write my cross-fit routine
Read it well
When I am on my rest day
It's a routine of how I got this body
Your mother would have licked my abs
Too bad she never saw them
