When you get time we'd love to see a review. 
Thanks. |

Ok, I now have the time to write a review!
It won't be a very good one, as I donm't really have the experience as other reviewers have, but I'll try! Also - I'm not going to put the real names of the characters as they're only children whom may not wish to be named Jean Valjean What can I say? The song Bring Him Home has never particularly stood out to me, but on the night this was the song that gave me goosebumps. He was 15 years old, and absolutely AMAZING. He got the acting just right, didn't over do anything, and he made the songs accent entirely his own. I mean he didn't fake an American one. I'd say, 10/10 Javert Hard to really comment on, as this was the person I went to see. He was all I wanted and more. He was exactly a Javert, and got the facial actions just right. He had the right amount of enery, and I LOVE the way he did his suicide, and how he sang stars! (It was up some stairs, which had a backcloth that must have had fairy lights or something attached to it, it look spectaular. Fantine Oooh - she had very BIG blonde hair. Thats what I noticed predominately. I'm not used to blonde Fantines, but she was very good, though her voice was a bit soft at times. Good conviction, though. Marius OOoh, Marius's (Marii?) are always the most sexy characters, and this guys acting was so earnest, as though he wanted us to believe everything he said. It was quite believeable aswell. A job well done
Cosette I know it sounds terrible, but I can't remember too much about how this character was played, except that she was EXTREMELY operetta! Eponine I'm not saying this just because I admire the character, but the girl who played her was astounding. She had blonde hair! (Bit strange aswell) But honestly, she was brilliant. She got frustrated, and moved, and oh, I can't even describe. During On My Own, a song in which you tend to become more aware of thje audience, and the fire exit signs, I didn't - I was totally engrossed. 10/10 Mme T and Thenardier Well, I usually prefer the comedy act between these two, and contrasting characeters, such as a fat Mme, and a thin Thenardier. Nevertheless, they both sang very well, and got th chemistry very well! Enjolras A bit... feminine... Wasn't really a strong supporting role, just an average voice and actor. Nothing more to say... Gavroche Unbelievably cute, especially with the dirt smudges across his face. When he was shot, it was played extremely well. Overall, a brilliant production that I wanted to come back and see the night after! PS: Rather embarrassed about calling the song "God On High". It's because I was singing the lyrics on my head, and I typed what I was thinking! Apologies! |

Do you mean "Bring Him Home"? (Also commonly misheard as "God, I'm high". ...
That IS weird. I've never seen a blonde Eponine... then again, I haven't seen that many Eponines. Was she wearing a wig to MAKE her blonde, or was she naturally blonde? |

Bring Him Home.
People like Michael Ball and Felix Martin and Tim Howar are sexy? I don't want to think about this. |

It doesn't happen often, but there have been several. http://www.broadwaylesmis.com/Gallery/PAViewPhoto.asp?ID=324 http://www.broadwaylesmis.com/Gallery/PAViewPhoto.asp?ID=434 http://home.online.no/~oleiferi/salmon.htm http://lesmis.cafemusain.com/images/production/winter03_jsw.html Add to the above, understudies from the US tour: Marissa McGowan and Sarah Ramsey-Duke. Before Richard Jay-Alexander was fired (and took with him his "no blondes" rule), there were, well, no blondes in Les Miz. |

Shonagh Daly, I think, was blonde on the first night and then moved to brown. Nobody's corroborated this yet, so I could have been hallucinating... | ||||||

Nor I. Alas, I think it's too late. |

| *Eponine |
Oh, she was naturally blonde, but it wasn't in your face platinum blonde, it was more sugary! |

Mmm yes indeedy... *chokes*. |

He's nice. Ok so yeah I'm 40 so perhaps he's just 'my age' [ish] but judging on looks alone I think he's fine

I think the best picture of him is the one of the left hand side in 1996... However, I must say I'm NOT a fan of the boofy 1984 hair!!! | ||||||
| Aimee |
LOL Everyone had hair like that then.
