Just found out that Lucie is off the day we’re going as its the day of her Cadogan Hall thing. Balls. @everyone, Do we know who the understudies are this time round? I believe Holly-Anne Hull is covering Fantine. But she's the only one I know. |

Javert - Earl Carpenter / Nic Greenshields
Fantine - Holly-Anne Hull / Jessica Joslin
Cosette - Holly-Anne Hull (Emma Warren)
Thenardier - Matt Dempsey (Cameron Blakey)
Mme Thenardier - Kelly Agbowu (Helen Walsh)
Eponine - Jessie Hart (Jenna Innes)
Marius - Danny Colligan (Harry Dunnett)
Enjolras - Leo Miles / Samuel Wyn-Morris

Seeing the official cast photos released today- they all look awfully young! Lol!!! I know what you mean... We were visiting our sons new school a couple of weeks back and got a bit lost outside the grounds. Asked some young lads for direction enquiring if they were students too (thinking sixth form students) and they replied, “No we’re staff..!” Felt VERY old that day.... |

Oh good, at least they've put the cast absences up now. Looks like I'll miss Jamie for what would have been my first performance in the first week of June, but I caved and bought a single in the dress for next Friday because I can't wait that long.  |

This needs some tv exposure ideally or nobody will know its back. If only there were a daily magazine show they could sell themselves on.

Just seen Lucie singing - will tune into The One Show, looking forward to it. Was not a fan of her Cosette but she has come on a lot (not patronising)

Just watched the One Show performance. Absolutely ghastly! Obviously they don't do the mashup arrangement (I hope!) but do they actually over-sing like that in the concert, with the grace notes and unnecessary screeching?
I think I'll stick with the Tenth Anniversary Concert...

I found that somewhat underwhelming too. I didn't like the riffing and for the first time One Day More did absolutely nothing for me. What a shame.

Ugh, there should be absolutely no riffing in Les Mis.
But it has been slowly going that way for a few years now. Lots of recent Eponines have put riffs in On My Own...

I rather enjoyed it, though it was a funny cut/edit at the end if you watch it again...

Oh dear that was a horrible display.
I bet Cameron is now insisting it’s called ‘Cameron Mackintoshes ..’

yes very odd piece of editing from the One show semi dressed version to a short clip from the filmed staged concert - maybe something went wrong adn they had to mix and match.

I think I'll stick with the Tenth Anniversary Concert... Did we listen to a different performance- no screeching in sight, everything placed well. The arrangement and vocal styling decided by MD and resident director so if you've problems with that don't direct it at the performers... |

Oh be careful...they’re still getting over the loss of the revolve. Any more change and the world will go bang! |
