"Boublil and Schönberg were in rehearsal today working on changes and new music."
Oh lord. This means we'll get stuck with "Suddenly" in the show, doesn't it.

Posted: 9/10/13 at 12:18amWould that count as "new"?

Marin Mazzie would be great as Fantine.
Yeah, in 1990.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 9/10/13 at 4:23amI have a feeling that the casting is going to be uninspired and boring. Just like this production.

This seems to be the new artwork they're using for the Broadway revival. Something a little different but familiar. I like it.

Then we both must've seen a different production because I quite enjoyed this production.

Posted: 9/10/13 at 10:44pmConsidering they're working on new music, I am going to hold off on considering this the same as the 25th anniversary tour (which I saw as well and enjoyed very much). Who knows what else will be different?

Posted: 9/11/13 at 12:27amI understand the artwork is iconic, but it'd be refreshing to see them give us something new.

I don't know what you can do about the artwork as Les Mis=Young Cosette
like Klennex=Facial Tissue it's about visual branding.
I think Toronto Cast will stay intact for Broadway minus
ValJean and maybe 1 or 2 other mains.
I think Earl Carpenter will be great from what I have seen from Youtube.
I would love to see Shuler Hensley come into the Production next Summer
as the replacement Javert.
I hope it is John Owen-Jones for JVJ.

I think Samantha Barks was amazing as Eponine, I think she'd be great in the revival.
I could see Aaron Tveit coming back as Enjolras as well.

Posted: 9/15/13 at 4:35pmThe new logo coloring makes Young Cosette look like she suffering from mortal gunshot wound.

Posted: 9/15/13 at 10:57pmHas anyone else heard the rumors that Josh Gad will be playing Thernadier, Caissie Levy as Fantine, and Andy Mientus as Marius? Heard them from reliable sources, but figured I'd see if someone else had heard that too...
