Posted: 4/8/08 at 4:02pmDan Bogart is a curse on the role of Marius. I hope he does a better job of assitant directing.

I just want to add to the first post-
The production that is playing WofTrap in Vienna, VA, and K.C. Starlight is a 3 theater tour produced by Atlanta Theater of The Stars.

The Actor's Playhouse in Coral Gables, FL will helm a production in March-April 2009.
Should be an interesting production, because Actor's Playhouse is hit or miss with musicals.

Haha... Yes, he'll probably need quite a lot of make up, but apart from that, I think he'll do a great job. Seven (!) years ago, he already played the aging Franz Joseph in Elisabeth and he passed that test with flying colors (http://www.michael-shawn-lewis.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=18&pos=12)

I haven't seen Les Miz since 1988 when I was 11 years old, it was my first broadway show and one of my most memorable experiences. :)
It would be a 3 hour drive to Walnut Theatre for me, but I am dying to see it again. Do you guys think this will be worth the trip?

Posted: 4/13/08 at 4:29pmI agree about the Walnut Street Theatre cast being amazing. I'm hoping that my scheduling works to make it down there to see the show.

The Seaside Music Theater production (Daytona Beach, FL) won't be happening after all:
"This letter is to inform you that Seaside Music Theater will have to cancel its 2008 productions - Les Miserables, Backwards in High Heels, Altar Boyz, and Miss Nelson is Missing because of a severe budget shortfall due to the loss of support from the Daytona Beach News-Journal, SMT's grand sponsor for 30 years. (...)"
Whole statement to be found here: http://seasidemusictheater.org

We've got Andrea McArdle coming out for this here in Ogunquit. Haven't heard about the rest of the cast.
"Ogunquit and Maine State Music Theatre are doing a joint production"
Nope, they are doing Le Miz AND The Producers on their own, as are we. Totally seperate.
