les mis
Saw Les Miserables last night (yay for free tickets from work!). OMG. The singing was amazing — plus, the actor who played Jean Valjean, Randal Keith, was the very same one who Cameron Mackintosh chose to play the role on Broadway when the musical ended its run in 2003. He was PHENOMENAL. The only problem with the show was that the Curran Theatre is incredibly tiny so the choreography and staging was so different from the times I’ve seen the show before and I found myself thinking “Hey, that set is different” or “He’s not supposed to be standing there.” I guess I’m just used to seeing the musical on a much larger stage.
Regardless, Les Mis was so great — if the national tour hits your city, you should definitely try to see it. The next musical that hits San Francisco is Wicked. Anyone seen it (I think Sarah has, if I remember correctly)? Like it?
Oooohhh, Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers have been cast in Mission Impossible 3. Great cast… I hope this movie will be better than the second one. What a disappointment it was.
I so want to see Batman Begins. Possible weekend activity.

When Wicked hit Toronto, it was IMPOSSIBLE to get tickets pretty much. It was sold out, and people waited for hours to get tickets. Hee. And when they announced they were doing another run next year, the tickets I think sold out really fast.
SO!
I’ve never seen it, but I’m upset I missed the chance. Everyone I’ve talked to said it was absolutely phenomenal. Hee. I hope you get to see it if you decide to go!
I’m excited they got Keri to do it. But also excited to see Philip Seymour Hoffman.
I saw Wicked when it started it’s run here in Toronto. It was amazing. It sold out very quickly. It’s coming back here in October 2006. Les Mis is set to be here in September, and I’ve got my tickets. I got a subscription to all of the shows, including Lord Of The Rings.
I like MI2 better than the first actually :S Maybe that’s just me. But if JRM is in the 3rd, I’m there
