Details on the 1980 Paris production

[YoungStudentMarius]

Thanks for fixing that! I don't think it was the board's fault, because even if I paste it in a word document, it still cuts off. But I downloaded the PDF, so I don't have to worry about the link now!
Nice Gavroche pic! Umm...what is the thing with all the characters wearing chains?

Sorry about the link; I admit I didn't test it.
Yes, that would be my youtube account.

Thanks for posting those finds!

I find it absolutely strange that the Paris production is so obscure, considering how popular the show is now. You'd think we'd be inundated with information. I spent twenty years loving the concept album before I ever saw a single photo. It's very mysterious.

I really want to write Rose Laurens to ask her all about the show.

That reminds me: one of the links posted earlier (I think it was the one with the full program of the show -http://operette.forumactif.org/login?redirect=%2Ft1182-topic ) doesn't work anymore. Did anybody download the pictures and could pass them on? I unfortunately didn't...

Yeah no problem I'll pack them and send them to you.

[Trompe-la-Mort]

Thanks a lot!

Since "From Stage to Screen" contains an abridged facsimile of the 1980 brochure it's only fair to share the whole thing (plus other photos I found online) for all the Mizzies here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ep6m8b

Enjoy!

You are so awesome! Thank you!

I knew it would be worth to stay up this late and poke the internet for OFC photos:

Cosette looks so young! (and a little like Claire Danes in the 98 movie or is that just me?)
The wigs are....quite something
Great find!

Does Valjean look kinda like Victor Hugo in those pics?

Looks like we had the same first impression. First time ever that I see the aged look of OFC Valjean, and man, that's what aging should look like! *points at movie make-up department which still did a great job with Aaron's wig and Hadley's moustache*

Release of the recorded show is my biggest wish for the 30th anniversary next year. Well apart from a director's cut of the film.
