Fave song setting/lighting moment.

The bit I like the best, lighting/setting wise, is On My Own and the way the windows glow in the back and side walls and are refected onto the floor. I love the way Eopine is made to look tiny on a completely empty stage. To me the windows echo the window of Cosette's house from earlier in the show, which she had only seen, again from the outside. I also like the way it picks up on the lyrics too... 'the pavement shines like silver'.

What about you and why?

I like the gutter scene with Valean carrying Marius on his back with the great effects of the lighting (and scenery) making it look exactly like a gutter:

The lighting gave a "grate effect" becoming thinner towards back stage and the hole coming in looked really small but it wasn't, if you get what I'm saying? :S

The water effect in Javert's Suicide.

I love the white light on the people who have died.

Ah yes that is mine too Smile

And the light during Javert's Suicide and the light during the finale Smile But I love the sewer scene.

You know what are irritating though? All those translucent/transparent/opaque scrims/screens of death. They're all "look at me! Now you see it, now you don't!"

Hello

I think the sewer effects are very clever and immaginative, however my favourite would be "On my Own". Very simple, yet powerful.

I like all the above but also the prologue as the orangey light makes it look dirty etc.

Dog Eats Dog. The effect of seeing Th�nardier's silhouette coming through a huge light while carrying a dead man is incredible and dark. I love this entire scene.

10th Anniversary Concert

this is in the 10th anniversary concert, i can't remember if it's in the stage show, as it's a good few years since i've seen it.

but just before the final battle, I like the bit just after "let others rise, to take our place, until the earth is free!" and then the lighting after that is amazing! It's so dramatic, it always sends a ripple right through me!

You mean the flashing for the fight etc?
