Abaissé

The new trailer is out. Honestly, it's...kind of underwhelming. Some nice visuals but not exactly epic.
I wonder if there'll be other edits available.

Killian/Thaxton doing the confrontation here: http://olivia-y113.tumblr.com/post/170833782939/ Killian still sounds more or less the way he did when he was Enjolras, but Thaxton sounds completely different. I'm listening to a full bootleg of this cast on the train for the first time, and can I just ...

Lol, when I saw the news item this morning my first reaction was 'oh that's still happening?'.

Not familiar with the work of any of these actors actually, so will keep an open mind.

ETA: oh wait I recognise Olivia Coleman. Wow she really is in every UK show isn't she.

Anyone planning on reading the ALW memoir?

Next time I'm go to the show it's all I'm going to be looking for...

I just watched this today (Apollo Victoria in London). It's one of those musicals I'd definitely recommend (especially if it's someone new to musical theatre) since it's very dynamic and a lot of fun, but while there's a few catchy songs I'm mostly 'meh' about it. Samantha Thomas was understudying G...

(You'll probably want to turn off the rolling commentary.)

Someone out there actually went to the trouble of dubbing the 2000 movie with the 1996 soundtrack . It was so well done it took me a moment to realise what was happening.

Needless to say Simon Zealotes was a weird track to watch .

While I think Jerome Pradon is terrible in it, I'll always choose the 2000 movie over the original movie. Seeing that put me off the show nearly for life! What's the deal with the '73 movie? It obviously has a lot of fans - every Youtube clip of the 2000 movie has comments under it bemoaning how ho...

I have, however, seen the Regent's Park Open Air version, starring Declan Bennet and Tyrone Huntley (and David Thaxton as Pilate with some MCR-level eye makeup), and it floored me. I just watched the OAT version at Regents Park! Joshua Dever was on as Judas, and he was pretty fantastic. He also loo...

So how do you like this musical? And did you go to the talk? The show was...okay, I guess. I mean it was colourful and had extravagant costumes and sets, there was a lot of dark humour and as I said the whole cast is really good at what they do. The show is about people who've reached a certain age...
