Ever since I saw the movie Les Mis, I’ve been obsessed with it and the music itself of course. Also bought the very thick Victor Hugo book which I’ve yet to read. Anyways, they couldn’t get tickets to Les Mis, Mamma Mia or Lion King. At first I was a bit disappointed.
I still really want to see Les Mis, but not being able to get tickets turned out to be a blessing. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have seen Jersey Boys which is so freakin’ awesome!!!
Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Here’s the description from the official site:
I think it’s awesome that you get to spend this time with your parents :). I wouldn’t say I was a huge fan of musicals, but I do like them. I went to se Les Mis in the theater and cried like a stinkin baby the entire time!! It was great! And when I read that they actually sang live, that it wasn’t recordings, while filming I was even more enamored by the film. 🙂
So jealous you got to see it live and I love the movie too. Anne Hathaway’s
rendition of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ is so powerful and it nearly brought me to tears.
I’m a HUGE figure skating fan too and the music to Les Mis has been used for years! Love it!
I love musicals! I don’t think I could pick a favorite. Does Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog count? The only one I’ve been lucky enough to see on stage (well performed by professionals and not students) is Wicked and it was ah-maz-ing! I wanted to stay and see it again the next day.
I saw wicked a few years ago and it really was so amazing. 🙂
