When I was in high school, we had a set with two small turntables. It was cool!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was where it's at, for sure.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Despite the evidence of my iTunes library, I have deeply mixed feeling on musicals, but I fucking LOVE Les Mis. I have the "dream cast" album (you could tell who had which cast by where they breathed when a half-dozen of the theater nerds were singing in the scene shop in high school. At one point, I knew all the words except a bit of the wedding song, where I couldn't understand what they were saying.*), and it is the Right And Proper cast (Although, I have a vague desire to learn French at some point and then to get the original album).
I expect that, since my family has an abrupt increase in free time on Christmas Day this year, we will be seeing it then.
I've worked on a few shows with turn-tables. One of them did not use it effectively (it was just a way to do a 3-way set change), but the one with the circus theme worked pretty well (I think the turn-table was recycled from the previous show on that stage).
It's kind of sad that the staging of Les Mis has become cliched at this point. I was...I don't even remember where...and there was a "tribute to Broadway" medley stage show thing (think theme park), and they did the marching triangle with 6 people. It was to laugh.
* I know I'm not the only one who had that t insert period of time where I listened to "On My Own" on repeat and cried a lot. Show of hands for teenaged angst.

Hobbit will be our Christmas movie for the next three years. Hopefully this time around with the Jackson Holiday Tradition there will be no heart attack for the apres theatre event.

I have never heard/seen/read Le Mis. It wasn't one of the musicals I sought out, don't ask me why. But I do want to go see the movie.

Oh, yeah. I lived the cliche, baby.

Jilli, I've been meaning to ask you if you have seen the Addam's Family musical and if it is any good?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
And thus, as is true for so much in life, is better when sung by a cross-dressing rabbit and a hunter with a lisp.
And "Kill the wabbit!" would definitely lose something in the transalation to Italia, German or French.
