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.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
