Well, Chess is such a weird show in that every single iteration, it's changed, not just a little, but considerably. How it should be staged, the songs, everything. It's like no one could ever agree how it would work best.

I'm going to be really interested to see the PBS production that's going to air in June that was filmed last year at the Royal Albert.

Oh, and can anyone else see John Barrowman as Enjolras?

Timelies all!

Cat woke me up far too early this morning. Good thing she's cute...

I've been singing bits of Les Mis all morning. I like Javert because the first version I heard was the best, dark-chocolate bass ever. Which translates to aural porn for me.

I've already moved on from Les Miz to Oliver!

I've shifted to Chess! Heh. Murray Head singing "One Night in Bangkok" is my aural porn.

I do a mean Fagin, I have to say.

Sarameg--when prioritizing your list of to-dos, I STRONGLY urge you to do whatever ceilings and/or floor work you need before you move in, even if you have to put off other things. They are so much easier and cheaper to do before there is furniture to move and dust to worry about. Also this is a really d good time to hire plasterers, electricians, etc, due to the economic times, so if you are planning any work like that, try to see what can be done beforehand.

Jumps on the 'if only we had it to do over again' bandwagon. Also, plaster dust gets in every possible thing, even closed drawers.

So exciting, sara!

Since I was a tragic teen of 15 when I first heard it, I was all about Eponine (sp?), but I have come to understand over the years, that Javert is my true match.

Ha! msbelle is me, except I was in middle school so it would have been more like 12. Which is like 15 but with less practice.
