Webber did a version of Les Mis?
Musta missed that.

Totally Les Miz...I saw PHANTOM when I was 8 and it scared the crap out of me!
You look absolutely terrific, honestly.

Coincidentally, I've been listening to various recordings of Phantom lately. After being mired in the depths of unreleased or soopah rare or obscure recordings for the last few years, I've decided to re-visit some of the more popular shows, and Phantom is one of them.
Phantom is really growing on me again, the production, the music, the whole thing is very good because it really creates a world. I enjoy listening to it in German and Japanese these days more than English, but I'm still finding that I get pulled in.
I'm trying to collect every cast album of it there is. and then I go on to Les Mis. Les mis has always felt "epic" but not nearly as organic as POTO
Just my 2 cents.

I prefer the version where a barricade and a chandelier fall on musicalmaster's posts.

Apparently Webber's cat climbed onto the digital piano and erased all the music. Don't believe me? It's on playbill.com!

It a cats' revenge for creating the HORRIBLE show cats.

I find that hard to believe, Im sure he uses Sibelius, or at least Finale.

What? A Lloyd Webber Les Mis? Can someone clarify this? Please, thank you.

There is no ALW Les Mis.
I prefer Phantom to Les Mis but only but a little bit. I do love them both, but I think Phantom has a little more...something in it. I mean, Les Mis packs so much emotion and angst into one show to the point where it's overwhelming and you start to wonder why you should even care (at least that was how I felt watching the recent Bway version, I don't get that watching the TAC)

Is it weird that I've never had any desire to see either of these shows? Not even a slight urge...

For me Les Miserables by a longshot.

Les Mis by a long shot for me, too.
I simply cannot endure Phantom. On a weekend trip with my HS students, I am ditching them (they'll have other chaperones) to see Cry Baby while they watch Phantom (they chose it). Life it too short.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
