Abaissé

I thought he looked adorably handsome in the video, even if the piano player's a bit off!

Do it guys! I really like the current cast. I might see them again in January too I am also looking into Assassins...

<3 here's some Chris Jacobsen to cheer you up: http://youtu.be/J_Vg7ANuJiA

Happy October everyone!

Happy birthday Gervais! :D Hope everyone's well. I've been super busy but I'm rewarding myself by going to see Les Mis SE in Dublin! Acaila, sorry about the referendum result. I had mixed feelings about it but in the end I thought it would be so exciting if Yes won. I just hope the aftermath wasn't ...

About seven years later, here’s the rest of the review! I had written much of this when the show was still a somewhat recent event, so don’t worry, there’ll be some detail. So we’ve left an unconscious Javert as he was crumpled on the hospital floor in Montreuil-sur-Mer. Now we come to… Montfermeil ...

Hi everyone, I'm on holidays with limited internet access right now but I'll get around to posting the rest of my London review at the end of next week, when I return. I haven't disappeared!

Hope that storm isn't too rough Prisoner, and best of luck Acaila! Tell us how it goes

Hope you will Havvy! I've only heard an incomplete boot but I really liked his Enjolras from what I did hear. Those challenges! They just seem to get sillier and more bizarre all the time. If the new London cast felt they had a lot to live up to from last year, what with the advent calendar and doub...

I was just about to ask how that came about! That's a great story. Did you ever get a chance to meet Buntrock later and tell him about it? It was in a theatre that consistently gets good actors. One of the actors in this play, Lewis J Stadlen, has been in lots of Broadway productions and got a Tony ...

Glad it was a good show Rachelle, and it sounds really interesting. Pity about the Enjolras! Are the SE orchestrations based on the old ones then? Omg, a Victor Hugo deli painted red and black. Acaila, you have to go sometime and befriend the owner :D Ah I see, didn't know there were a few boots kno...

Rachelle, did you enjoy the show? There was a SE on in Dublin a few months ago but I couldn't go :( I'd love for Cosette to have more to do in the musical, she's its emblem for goodness' sake! I also think swapping a few voice types around would be interesting. If Cosette were an alto or a mezzo tho...

I was referring also to the economy because it's had some spectacular peaks and troughs. It is true that the currency split was handled well at the time, but now it seems that whoever you speak to outside Ireland can't get past the Euro crisis from a few years ago. When I spoke to anyone abroad in l...

@Acaila - the possible breaking-away of your country does seem too important not to have an opinion about. Hope you at least made up some minds one way or the other? :D To be fair though, a lot of people might think it'll be the same crap, just with different people in charge. Also, your closest com...

Rachelle, I wrote a lot of the general points a few days after I was there, based on notes I'd made on the night! The last time I went was in January (there's a review in the 13/14 thread) Acaila - yeah, at one point I was thinking the orchestra had reached CSR lows of speed, but I can't be sure of ...

This is gorgeous Rachelle! And lol at the upside down comment

This is long overdue so I have decided to post only the first part for now. That way if anyone has questions having read the first part about the rest of it, I can incorporate any details you'd like to know into the second part. The essential five points: (1) refreshed cast (2) more restrained ensem...

Is there a general mood about the referendum? I can't imagine anyone feeling neutrally about it. A Scottish mate of mine is pretty actively on the No side. Film Deco is definitely a little shite. I had no idea about Stephen Gately being in it. I finished the Behr book. It's so full of delicious deta...
