Les Miserables

[MohtasaUnique]

Yes, it's that time. Pay homage to one of the best Musicals in musical theater history. Answer a few questions if you've ever seen any of the Les Mis performances (the movie or any theater performances)

Favorite song:
Favorite character:
Favorite actor/actress ever to play in Les Mis:


My favorite songs are as follows, most favorites first: One More Day, Stars, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, Castle in the Clouds

My favorite character is most definitely Javert. His devotion and passion makes for incredible feeling in his singing. The power coming from the actors, especially PQ, during his soliloquy is incredible.

My favorite actress is Philip Quast as Javert in the 10th Les Mis anniversary.

To give some background I know entire casts of this show, have seen the entire play (10th anniversary) as a recording 5+ times and another one (25th anniversary) 75+ times. I've listened to other casts, and individual songs hundreds of times each. Almost know every fricken lyric to most songs. So I'm kind of obsessed :/

Favorite song: One Day More (10th anniversary), although it was a failure in the movie. I also like "The confrontation", "Javert's Soliloquy", and "Stars"

Favorite character: Javert. If played well his character is incredible and SO well rounded and developed throughout the play. And of course, his songs are absolutely incredible. Sorry Tony but I prefer Norm Lewis to Philip Quast.

Favorite actor/actress ever to play in Les Mis: Lea Salonga as Eponine (10th) and Fantine (25th). Lea Salonga is my favorite singer in the world, I can not even begin to explain. (And she was Mulan and Jasmine in Disney movies!)

Also, Norm Lewis is my favorite male singer. (Though I love Alfie Boe)
