[Sondog]

Just saw Les Miz again onstage (in Atlanta). Also saw it in London (def better version there). Looking forward to the movie.

I'd LOVE to see it live but I think the movie will be brilliant.

The sad part about movies, though, is that you can't get autographs after

So very very true.

When i saw it, i got autographs of a couple leads including the gavroche that was gonna be playing that night, i went to a matinee

 

[PrincessBrideOfChrist]

Very nice. Good work!

 

[rockinxrob]

To see it live was very amazing even with as far back as i sat, i think i much prefer to see a show live, it feels more personal

 

[PrincessBrideOfChrist]

There really is something special about really being there

 

[rockinxrob]

I think the closest movies come to making it personal is by breaking the 4th wall, but as you said, it's better to be there

The other thing is that stage productions have their own charm. Costumes, sets and such are usually different from what the movie does. I enjoy stage sets.

Me too, one thing i love about being an actor is the excitement of tech week, the newness of seeing the full stage put together for the first time, the magic of the lights and sets, it's wonderful when a show comes together

Love the book and can't wait for the musical to come out!!
I was Cosette for Halloween this year. And I'm thirteen.

I never saw the musical or the movie, but I saw the trailer of the newest film and I really looking forward to it!!

 

[iluvatar5150]

I just saw the film. I was disappointed that most of the leads weren't better singers (Russel Crowe, yikes), but overall, I thought it was pretty good. One thing that typically bothers me about listening to musicals is that the production is often so cheesy, that it detracts from the material. Fortunately, that was not the case with the film.

Hey Rock..... here is my trick to getting as close as you can without paing the price of the expensive seats.....
A lot of times, the floor has all the expensive seats going waaaaaay back. HOWEVER, if there is a balcony, you end up being closer.
The first 2 or 3 rows in the balcony at one of the theaters in my town are the very expensive seats. SO, I call as soon as tickets are available. I say, "OK, you know where the $150.00 seats end? I want the one directly behind it". And in the balcony, this was even CLOSER than the last half of the EXPENSIVE seats.
give that a try..
