I cried many more times than I was expecting,
I've only heard most of Les Miz the once, because the time I saw it on stage was so traumatic!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, really. I love "Confrontation" beyond reason.
Me too! It is probably my second favorite song (my favorite is Stars) in the show. I am a Javert fan.
I am not even sure I can call the songs from this show earworms, because I am pretty sure I listened to it so much in high school that I can sing through the whole thing in my head with out the endless repetition that I associate with earworms.

I think I listened to Les Miz at least once a day in high school. I haven't listened to it in a while, and I don't think I should listen to it before seeing the movie in case it affects my ability to enjoy the movie.

You folks are getting me very excited to see this!

I am a Javert fan.
Me, too! I like the obsessive damaged freaks. It's a Batman thing.
I haven't listened to it in a while, and I don't think I should listen to it before seeing the movie in case it affects my ability to enjoy the movie.
In high school, the first soundtrack for Les Miz that I heard was the London cast, and I listened to it repeatedly. But a bunch of my friends had the American cast, and it SOUNDED WRONG to me. I didn't like listening to that version at all.
So I definitely think I ought not listen to the soundtrack before the movie. As it is, I have Colm Wilkinson in my head as Jean Valjean forever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The hardest thing about this movie is not singing along.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

This was me, though I've sadly never actually seen a live performance.
Confrontation is all sorts of awesome.
I'm a mediocre at best singer, (I can manage the occasional song in my limited range if I practice it enough. Oddly the two songs I manage best are O Come All Ye Faithful and The Hero of Canton) but I practiced the Javert low notes enough I can hit most of them. The higher end of his songs are way beyond me, though.
I really want to see this, but we can only get out to see one movie a season at most, and the Hobbit wins out this time. I'm sure I'll catch Les Mis when it comes out on DVD, though.

Oh, Kalshane! You're going to have to make an exception and see this in a big theater.

This was me as well. Though the lyric changes bothered me more than the different singing (though the later irked as well.) Really, American production, you seriously need Javert to sing about putting Valjean "safe behind bars"? Ugh.

Despite being a fan of most musicals, somehow I missed on Les Miz. I've heard bits of the music, but never seen it on stage. I am looking forward to seeing it in the theater. I just hope I don't have to go alone.
