OK, I feel bad for clogging up this thread with my technology woes, so I'm linking to JOJ's page on WestEndBoys.co.uk. The entire site is hysterical, but his page? Something else.

I'm not fond of Marius. Then again, there is nothing that could ever EVER compare to Michael Ball for me. His voice is the 9th wonder of the world.

Don't be mean about Jon! He's a brilliant Marius...amazing when I saw him.

But I do agree Michael Ball IS Marius.

And with One Day More, I'm done listening. Ha I don't like the second act. :)

Jon Lee is such a weird looking little man.

Aww, BJC899! But Act 2 is better than act 1! And more JOJ for all!

Wow, they went right from One Day More to On My Own, which is amazing, BTW.

They should have cast Michael Ball for the new broadway production, age shmage.

I think Alex Gemignani might've had trouble carrying him.

Nooooo they cut my favourite line from 'A Little Fall of Rain'....'I'll sleep in your embrace at last'. I love that line.

Hahah Lizziecurry! What if he was wearing his Woman in White fat suit?

Wow, this is amazing.

I am on such a Les Miz high right now.

[SayitSomehow]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 3:09pm

Right jacobtsf? There has been an overwhelming influx of Les Miz these past days.

"Jon Lee is such a weird looking little man."

And yet he was arguably the best looking one in S Club 7!

Is it just me or the orchestra sounds abit weak? like reduced orchestration, or even (god forbid) help from recorded instruments?

AND, nevertheless, has anyone devised a way of recording this rare broadcast?

edit: Thenardier is awsome...

It's the Symphonia. So yes, some of them are recorded.

Well after Paul put on all thet weight and started not washing...

Although SClub boys were never really meant to be the good looking ones. The girls were there to do that.

OK, what, narrator?

"Marius returns to the students' now-deserted café." WTF?

Marius is at home recuperating and imagines he's in the cafe! The actual cafe is...well, rather a mess at this point. If it's still standing.

[Claire2141]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 3:24pm

I know....get it right!

Oh finale now. I've really enjoyed this. Nice after listening to the TAC and OLCR so many times.

[musicalkid]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 3:24pm

is it possible Jon Lee has been playing Marius for THREE years now?!

he's got the part when i was last in London, in 2003!

[Claire2141]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 3:27pm

He's returned to the role recently...this is his second spell as Marius.

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 3:28pm

No, he returned recently. Gary Tushaw and Hayden Tee played the part after he left in 2003.

Oh! I loved it! They should broadcast these more often.

[musicalkid]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 3:32pm

WELL, this has been amazingly beautiful!

nice to hear a new cast for a change. i sure could use a new cast recording of lesmis. I wish the new Bway production makes one.

anyway, if anyone has figured out a way to record or keep THIS recording, I would love you forever if you contacted me on [e-mail] . thanx!

[bwaylvsong]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 3:37pm

Yes! They should broadcast musicals like they do operas!

This isn't the Symphonia. (Sinfonia?) This is a proper big orchestra.
