Les Miserables

Post by Sienthal »

I just saw it for the first time...

*Cough*

Holy...

I cried...At a play...It, the play, it was...
It was just...I mean, it...
I think I'm going to go to bed now.

Now read the book. It is a 1500 page monster with microsocopic type, but if you don't love it you are not fit to live :D

I cried when I worked as a loader when they showed up in Wichita back in 95. They had like five semi trailers full of stage equipment. That damned rotating stage motor weighed a ton! Literally. My back still hurts.

I went to NYC three weeks ago to see it on Broadway, and it was amazing. I had known the music for over a decade (having received the symphonic recording on CD for my 13th birthday), and can sing every single note of every single part of the show, backwards or forwards. I figured I would cry a little when I finally saw it for the first time, but since I already knew the entire story, I didn't think it would affect me too much.

I was wrong. I had chills almost the entire time, and cried at seven different points during the show. On the train back, my eyes teared up just thinking about how beautifully done it had been. And the people I went with; even the least sensitive of the guys still cried. It's an amazingly story told through some of the most gorgeous, thrilling music ever composed. *gets a bit sniffly*

Man, now I want to put on my CDs of it now....

If you ever get the CDs, get the black, three-CD 'Symphonic Recording' version and not the 2-CD highlight version. The 3-CD set has all the music, and the people singing the parts are the best people from various shows throughout the world. It's absolutely incredible.

Le sigh, must go put it on now. :D

I loved reading that book, & really wonder if that wasn't a possible swipe at Dumas (Why won't anyone recognize that commission & title Napoleon gave my father.) in there.

still loved the book a lot.

Ahh...I wish I could go to New York, and see it before it closes in May. Hell, I just wish I could go to New York.
