A resource for the School EditionThe Les Miserables School Edition is a topic that comes up a lot around here. On a suggestion from Sairin, Aimee and I were talking and we decided to see if the posters of this board would like to see/contribute to a sticky about the SE.
It could be a place for members to share stories about their experience in the show and pass valuable information such as vocal ranges and possible audition material to others who may be trying for the show.
What do you think?

I think it's a great idea...especially as I have just been in a SE Production of Les Mis..and I'm completely obsessed with it....

Definitely - I'm Cosette in a SE production of Les Mis at the moment and I'd love 2 hear experiences and advice/see photos etc. from others!
(It wouldn't actually let me vote  but it's a yes)
EDIT: Sorry - it let me vote after I post...

I voted against. By all means make a list of cuts and ranges, but attach them to what is already stickied, as opposed to making a new one. People can still be given a link to it, but it'll save having another sticky which has to be scrolled past.
Also, if everybody who wanted to ask audition advice/share photos/share experiences all contributed to one thread, it'd be confusing, we'd all be talking about one set of pictures and somebody would come and contribute theirs and nobody would know which are being talked about.
I'd prefer it if people set up a new thread for each production so that it can be easily remembered whose production is whose and what part they played etc, especially as a lot of people who come to contribute information about their schools edition don't post again and it'd be hard to remember who they are amongst 16 pages of posts.
Also, as other forums allow you to set up a thread for your production, if people automatically presumed that you could on this one, it'd just lead to flame wars or people being offended and not contributing any information about their production.
Just my thoughts,
Moci.

I voted 'Yes', but then I read Moci's point and I agree with him.
If we had one thread for SE help, such as the cuts and audition advice. If people still find the help they needed on there they could make a new thread.
Then people can make their own individual thread for pictures and things like that too.

I voted yes but I've just read Moci's post and agree with it but it would be good to have cuts etc. posted and maybe character descriptions for audition advice as a sticky because so many people ask about them. Maybe general/technical information as a sticky but personal experiences etc. as individual posts?

Yeah, that was basically what I was trying to say in the first place, just have one for cuts and vocal ranges etc., maybe audition advice too, because it's the kind of thing a lot of people want to know about. I think talking about your shows separately is better or it'd get all confusing.

I think it would be a good idea. after all, most of us have at least seen a school production to have some ideas.

YES YES YES Please! Even though my SE prouduction is Feb 2007, I will be directing and acting (hopefully as Javert) in it. I will also be directing it because my school knows that I am Les Mis obsessed. I want to put it on so it is known to be THE best production the school has ever seen, and I have so many ideas and I want to hear other's.
It's ambitious, but I suppose everyone has to have a little ambition in their lives...
Please put a sticky up!

...we did have one. For some reason all the stickies have disappeared.

Why do you keep reviving old topics?

I'm not sure - I came onto M.net to find about 8 pages have disappeared! So I took this oppertunity to read back to the 'older' topics and the ones that I had a view about (and haven't posted prior to this) I posted in them now.

Its better to revive an old topic if you are interested in it than start a new one and get told... 'Oh there's a thread about that here.'
I will chat to ChingLing and see about this.
