popculture boy, aren't there quite a few vacant theatres on Broadway? I don't think there's a lack of free spaces...

Is six months long enough to possibly allow it to be nominated as a revival?
Or is it considered special theatrical event?
Or is it not elligible for any awards?
Just wondering.
NOW BACK TO THE HAPPINESS!

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:53pmas per NY Times online, the show will be considered a revival, elligible for the 06-07 Tony awards. Only 3 years have to pass for a show to be elligible.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:54pmWow. 18 years wasn't enough, clearly! It's a great show and everything, but all good things must come an -- actual -- end.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:55pmLes Miz was the first Broadway show I ever saw (I was 9 years old, and truly captivated by it). So despite the fact that I really dislike Machintosh productions, this show holds a special place in my heart.

Let's begin to guess the cast, shall we?
I wish to see John Owen Jones do Valjean here.
And will they only bring Les Miz veteran back? Sigh,I so want to see James Barbour as Javert.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:57pmWith so many shows trying to find a theatre....LES MIS is coming back...
"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."

sanda - it's too early to guess!
They said maybe marquee-value names?
I dunno. But I am sure the cast will be swell!

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:58pmUm...just...whoa. So many thoughts are going through my head right now! I'm very shocked, very happy, and I have many questions. When do tickets go on sale, can it get a Tony, will it be sold out in 2 seconds, and...don, don, don...the cast? Oh, and it opens right around my b-day too. Well, I'm shocked. This is very cool :)

Tickets on sale for June.
No casting yet.
And, if you read up, yes, it will be considered a revival!

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:06pmYessica, on the contrary, every theatre is booked (with the exception of the Schoenfeld where Chita is folding this weekend, very prematurely), and there are a lot of shows wanting to come in.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:08pmThere is much more in store for Le Miz fans. Guessing is fun! Let's hang in there to see what's announced. It should be exciting.

"What is Colm doing now adays? Bring him home to play Valjean once more!"
As far as I know, he's going to be in Pirate Queen.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:23pmmy prediction? It knocks DRS's out of the Imperial and goes back to it's home. The Broadhurst is too small for the show revamped or not.. that is just my gut feeling.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:26pmThis is good news if, for no other reason, Forbidden Bway can keep it in the show as it is one of the funny skits they ever have done. They probably will update it though

The Broadhurst house is smaller but the stage is not much smaller than the Imperial, so there shouldn't be any changes in the production.
As far as casting, here's what www.broadway.com has to say about that,which is what I am hearing also.
"The upcoming Broadway production will use the physical aspects of the tour and will feature some current company members as well as performers cast especially for the New York engagement. "

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:30pmThe capacities of the Broadhurst and the Imperial aren't that wildly different and DRS is doing pretty solid business.
