Les Mis returns?

Posted: 10/19/05 at 7:35pm

There's a message on a different board stating that the Broadhurst will host a limited winter engagement of Les Mis before History Boys begins playing.

I also heard that Billy Crystal will be back for a limited engagement at the same time.

Any truth to either of these?

I find it highly doubtful, but...

It is neccessary to know you're not creating this mystery post out of thin air.

At any rate, I found it on ATC.

As much as I love Les Mis, it's too early to bring it back. There's a tour going around, so I think if they were to revive it, it would have to be on a clean slate. It would be too weird to have two separate kind of productions of the same show running.

Or would it BE the tour at the Broadhurst?

The Broadway sets and costumes are in Germany. They'd have to bring the tour in if they don't want to start from scratch.

If they really wanted to do so, they could bring the Broadway sets and costumes back from Germany. The Berlin production closed at New Year's, so they're no longer in use.

And just when we thought it was safe to laugh in the theatre again.

The Broadhurst has a mere 1,100 seats. I'm not sure how Les Miz in that theatre would be economically feasible, unless they employed a greatly reduced cast and orchestra.

Les Miz in London now only has a twelve piece orchestra.

I wonder, if this does happen, if there will be student rush?

You know I'll be there everyday if there is!

Weird. I hope the show continues to tour.

When I saw this post I assumed that they meant the tour would be brought in. It wouldn't be the first time this happened.

I'd be the happiest girl alive if Les Mis came back to New York for any sort of run. I haven't seen the show in over a year and I've been suffering from withdrawal.

Don't care that Kevin Kern said he "doesn't sing like that anymore" - he needs to play Marius again. Somewhere. LOL
