Les Miserables

One day more -
another day,
another destiny
This neverending road to cavalry...

I saw first saw Les Miserables at our local(ISH) Grammar School. My mum's friend's son was in it, and they had been practicing for about a year ( - that's right. A year!), so we thought it would be good.

In the leading-up of seeing the show, we listenened to the soundtrack from Les Mis pracically ... religiously. So we had some pretty high standards when we went to see it. And those standards were more than met! The show was wonderful, they actually sang it just the way that it was sung in our soundrack (West End, of course) and it was stunning. Absolutely brilliant, moving on so many levels. It was the School Edition. My favourite songs are One Day More! and The Finale, which can make me cry sometimes. I also love Castle on a Cloud for an audition - however, I did not get the part, because I didn't look old enough. Which is pretty darn cruddy, since the minimal age for being in it is 11, and I'm 13. Anyway, I'm posting this, because guess what?!
I'm seeing it on WEST END!! In LONDON!
I mean, probably.
But I am going to London (see my next blog post, about my Europe trip....). And it's apparently going to be in Australia next year. (my mum says that maybe we should see something else then, but I'm not sure. I guess I'd like to see Phantom of the Opera... or Billy Elliot. I've seen the dvd of that. I've seen Wicked three times, but only in Sydney. I think I ought to stop going over all my favourite musicals now).


... Hmph.
Now I'm listening to music from Phantom of the Opera. And am painfully compelled to do a blog post about how much I love THAT as well.
