Les Mis

Hey - I went to see Les Mis over the weekend and was really impressed.

I loved the minimal sets and movement....It really seemed to enhance the quality of the voices throughout the show...I mean...the voices really soared...Every time Javert and Fontaine sang I had total goosebumps. My Mum bawled when Fontaine, Eponine and the students died....One child sitting in front of us (a boy about 12 years old or so) had to be comforted by his Dad after the show as he was completely devastated that Val Jean had died...

I didn't see the previous Les Mis performance so can't comment or compare....all I can say is that it was well worth the cost of the ticket and I am actually hunting down another ticket to go and see it again before it ends.

Oh - The chorus scenes...Wow. These scenes really worked well for....great energy from beginning to end. Great orchestra too...

Hee! Sorry to gush...I just really loved it and haven't stopped humming songs from the show since.
