Who played Marius; David Bryant or Steve Shockett? This has been bothering me for a while now, and I was wondering if anyone might know. Thanks!

My biggest pet peeve right now is when people pronounce it "Marry-us" and not "Mah-ree-us".

What makes this such difficult info to research?

I like these questions sometimes because they spark conversation and people share their knowledge with everyone else.

well to be honest.. you just basically asked who the OBC Marius was... i don't see what conversation you were wanting to start...

I'm one of those who have no problem taking a hint or reading between the lines when these types of threads pop up and assume they're convo starters.

This time, however...

When FACTUAL info is asked, there isn't much room for "discussion". ESPECIALLY since this is such easy info to find. Just as easy as taking the time to post the question.

Both a quick google search as well as a visit to IBDB.com would have done the trick.

When someone asks if you want mustard or mayo on their sandwich, do you need to discuss the answer? Same difference.

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.

^ Very well put.

This could stem into a discussion about David or an argument between Team Bryant and Team Ball.

But so often, basic questions get basic answers on here with no discussion afterward. Or the thread gets hijacked, like when someone simply asked how members here go up in member levels.

Well we could try and make a discussion out of it...

What happened to David Bryant after Les Mis? He doesn't appear to have done the usual thing of playing Chris in Saigon - was he too old by the time it came round. He only has the one Broadway credit afterwards (in Show Boat in the 90s) and then apparently co-produced Tale of Two Cities, but that's not a huge amount of credits, especially when compared to the stardom that Les Mis launched Michael Ball to.

I hear ya. There is a shortage of big, rambly mouths like yours truly. And mostly on Les Mis.

Let's start a Wicked thread and see if The Scorpion's theory about that being the only relevant musical left in America is true or hogwash. If it fills up with stimulating discussion then it's true. If it gets filled with screaming tweens then hogwash, I say. Hogwash.
