IronMan said: "what I'd really like back online is their "Lovely Ladies" - or in that production, "Lovely People" which was all about how Fantine was forced to sell scraps of fabric from her basket."
You really think the Broadway revival in 20 years will be any different?
Some people might be offended by the word "ladies" because we have to keep it gender neutral and some people take offense in people selling their body so it can't be in any movie or show anymore, so it has to be fabric. This production is actually quite progressive as it is exactly what America is heading towards.
Edit: 20 years, what am I saying? The exact same thing already is happening in Grease and Rocky Horror live. Even the words "lacy lingerie" are offensive. Let alone prostitution or smoking. We don't want people to find out they wore underwear in the 50's, and that flirting, smoking or prostitution ever existed, and of course we don't want anybody to replicate anything they see in any show or movie, so let's erase it from history. Next year, the Lion King re-edited with Mufasa's death removed, because we don't want people throwing their brothers off a cliff.
Edit 2: The Valjean at 2.40 sounds remarkably the same as Ramin Karimloo in terms of intonation and pitch.
