OMG Les Miz Will Return to Broadway- Page 2

I'm 99% sure the show will be considered a revival. In other times many shows like West Side Story and Dreamgirls would close, go on the road, and come back to New York for limited engagements and they'd be considered revivals.

On the bright side, it's only going to use the Broadhurst, not one of the larger, more in-demand houses. It will fill a theatre and provide work for actors during a time of the year that is often quite slow. I personally think it unnecessary, but it's not as if they are trying to remount the show for an open run. Updated On: 2/16/06 at 06:30 PM

Sh*t. This couldn't have been announced earlier? Literally, an HOUR ago, I bought a ticket for the tour in Philly, because I figured it would be the last opportunity I'd have for awhile to see a professional production. Dammit. What a waste.

I'm actually really excited. I would love to see this, and am glad that it is more of a limited-run return, rather than a revival ten years from now, with possible changes, since I never got to see the Broadway production the first time around. I will definately want to go see this.

It is a special limited-run to celebrate its 21st Anniversary.
Those of you who complain that it back too soon should read the news CAREFULLY.

I'd rather see CATS come back for a year than LES MIS for six months.

Don't get me wrong. I HATE CATS and LOVE LES MIS, but it's too soon from it's closing. WHY BRING IT BACK?

It won't even have a new artistic vision. Same set! The only thing I like about this is that I'll finally be able to see the show.

I'm happy it's coming back for a limited engagement...Will be nice to get to see it again.

First let me say that I ADORE Les Mis. One of my favorites.

Second let me say that I think this is a really bad idea. It's far far far far FAR too soon.

Third let me say that I will probably go see it anyway.

OMG idc, this was my first broadway show and just being able to see it again probably like 4 years later and being able to remember everything clearly will be an extraordinary experience.
Since I saw it, I've been in 2 productions of it and it will be so special to see it officially come back. And they're searching for big headliner names, thats amazing
What news!

WTF........I'm saving EVERY penny I have right now..so I can get there and see this

OMG I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited about this plus I'll be there around that time...YESSSSSSS

You don't know how happy I am right now.

I can finally say "I saw Les Mis on BROADWAY"........aaahhhh.

Does this mean there will be no revolving floor?

Why? Nothing changes the fact that this show ran FOREVER on Broadway and has only been gone three and a half years. Coming back for six performances is too much, let alone six months.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:41pm

then don't see it. no one ask you to go.

Guys.

I am going to die!

SERIOUSLY.

The show that started it all for me.

Six months will turn to eight months. Eight months will turn into a year. A year will turn into another 15 or so. Come on! Enough already!

There is a god!

What is Colm doing now adays? Bring him home to play Valjean once more!

me too BSo! I'm really interested to see a fresh cast of people, I expect, WANT to be in this production and actually act. I will definitely be seeing this.

[Unmasked05]

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:45pm

All I have to say it this.

If it stays open longer than it was just meant to be.

[popcultureboy]

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:46pm

then don't see it. no one ask you to go

Well, I won't see it. But I also won't get to see the other shows that are looking for a theatre that lost the Broadhurst to this.

[sanda]

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:47pm

hahaha, I am happy. I am the happiest one now.

[BSoBW3]

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:50pm

Time to binge listen to Les Mis.

I am going as much as possible. Believe it!

This is just....just...

I am speechless!

And it opens around my birthday nonetheless!

Thank you Cameron!

My hero!

Im happy for the people who wanted to see this show. But I can't help but wonder Why? with the bad taste of Broadway lately it will probably run for 20 years.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:52pm

BSOBW3,did I tell you Cameron is my hero too?

come, give me a hug. All our Les Miz fans should celebrate it.
