No....I wish I lived closer to the city!!! Three of my favorite performers in one place and I show I'm dying to see.
It was 6 hours, I don't even like to have sex and eat bacon for 6 hours.

Les Miz is also performing at "The View" on March 21st with Color Purple and A Chorus Line to celebrate Rosie's birthday. I wonder if Lea Salonga is going to be in it.

I'll have to tape it. Does anyone know what numbers they are performing from each show? I don't think the Playbill article included the exact numbers.

For The View... I'm willing to bet they either do "Do You Hear The People Sing" or "One Day More"...

I am looking forward to hearing about what happens tonight at the Bee. This means that an understudy is going on for Lea at Les Mis. Les Mis is not dark tonight, right?

The show was hilarious. Lea Salonga was the third one out. She misspelled "crapaud." They also made her spell "helicopter." Anyway, there was one funny joke, that Lea Salonga has a line of underwear called "Flower Drum Thong."

Was very good - Lea was sitting near us, Raul up the aisle. Wife got to speak to Raul a bit and had him sign her playbill (she was thrilled). Bought one of the six cast signed posters that were offered (the three guest spellers also signed). Raul got his first word wrong, so was out early unfortunately. Brian Stokes Mitchell was a hoot!
