so yesterday
JJ-cat and I got the chance to go see the 2pm showing of Les Miserables on Broadway at the Imperial Theater. I thought I would talk about it since im still not over it. it was absolutely wonderful. I got to see Ramin Karimloo as Valjean which was amazing since I've been a fan of his for a few years now. the rest of the cast was amazing as well. I was very impressed by Matt Rosell who went on as marius. his performance of Marius was I think probably one of the best that I have ever seen. I was also very pleased to see Chris McCarrell as Joly (as well as many other characters)(seriously he was in the background of so many scenes I started looking for him) (hes not that hard to find with that spectacular hair of his)
the show itself was absolutely amazing. the sets and the costumes and the special effects and the acting and singing and EVERYTHING was just wonderful. I was very pleased that they decided in the new production to add a few things from the brick in that I had not expected to be in there. it was also lovely to see the whole friendship between Grantaire and Gavroche. I absolutely loved how they chose to do the special effects with Javerts suicide. I was also very impressed with empty chairs at empty tables. how they did that was really quite beautiful.
after the show we waited by the stage door and got the chance to meet and get autographs from Matt Rosell (Marius), Weston Wells Olson (who stepped in last minute as Enjolras), Will Swenson (Javert), Gaten Matarazzo (Gavroche), Angeli Negron (little Eponine), and Cliff Saunders (Thenardier)
it was a really good day and im very happy about it and yeah!!!!
