For a non replica productions, the costumes are really similar. O.o It even looks like they tried to do the Eponine hat, but couldn't find it. That's not a period piece, is it? I thought I read somewhere that Frances Ruffelle just wore the hat to rehearsals and it got put in the show...
The theatre in the round looks interesting. I don't really like the slightly abstract barricade scenes, but maybe I'd like it more if I saw it... |

Yeah, it was actually a hat from the '70s or something, and then it became an institution. |

How did the theatre in the round work with the barricade? I'm very curious... | ||

Did they use the original orchestrations?
The Thenardiers remind me of Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett.

It was very abstract...it came down from the ceiling, but it wasn't a full barricade, there were four pieces made very loosely of chairs and stuff so that it made kind of an incomplete circle. It's hard to explain without drawing a picture or something. ( _ ) <kinda like that. Also, to answer Quique's question, I'm pretty sure they used the originals, as they matched the ones on my 1989 full symphonic recording CD. They were very good though, they stood out nicely without overpowering. |

I saw the Sacramento production last night. It was the first time I had ever seen Les Mis, so I can't compare the traditional staging to theatre-in-the-round.
I thought the production was great. The performances and the voices were amazing. Brian |
