#175re: My Les Mis Obsession is Coming Back
Posted: 7/2/05 at 2:15pmWell the way I afford Les Mis recordings is buy them, make a copy for myself, then sell them on ebay! In fact I am currently selling 2 of the Japanese casts on ebay.

Posted: 7/2/05 at 2:18pmThe reason why the Korean is so rare is because they did the recording without permission and without getting the rights, so Mackintosh demanded that the recordings be taken down from the shelves becuase they were so terrible. I am still interested though. :) It got a D rating in one review online... heh.

Posted: 7/2/05 at 2:26pmI think it's something like an 18 piece or 17 piece orchestra when touring. It sounds awsome

My favorite Les Miz recording is the obc
i do love lea solonga as eponine though..
"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous
