Some Wine and Say What's Going On? (News and Updates)

[Eponine]

I have made a new page for fan-made videos and clips from the musical/
movies! If you have anything, feel free to post it there!

[IOwnTheEnjyVest]

I updated the keepership page and made it into lists so it would be
easier to read so if you want to claim something, just find the
catergory and the object/person you want to claim and put your name
next to it.

[Eponine]

Hi all!
Just wanted to let you know, if you have any friends who like/love Les
Mis, feel free to invite them here to join this group!

Ok another friend is coming on when she returns from Dallas.

LM NEWS: Judy Kuhn will be replacing the amazing Lea Salonga :'-( as
Fantine in October 2007. So I'm not going to see Lea again >:-(

Pray to God that Adam and Ali stay.

I heard about Judy replacing Lea, I really wish I could see the show
again, with Lea or Judy! I'm sure Judy will be a fine replacement. =)

[Combeferre]

My pities--no Lea is a sad sad life.
Then again--Judy Kuhn Fantine will be awesome--only if she doesn't try
the operatic style she did with Cosette
...
well, she can a little but I'd like to see--sorry, hear, her belt out
like she does in Chess (I only heard a few clips and she sounds
awesome in Chess...)
That'd be awesome.

[Eponine]

I really liked Judy in Rags, here's a clip of her doing the title song
at the 1987 (?) Tonys.

Her character here is so different from Cosette.

[Combeferre]

She is really good in this!
I half like Judy Kuhn because she is talented--Pochahontas--and then
at the same time I do not particularly like her Cosette--I'm not too
sure if she was written to be like the carbon-copy of Johanna from
Sweeney but man I was prepared to barricade her from the moment I
heard her go crazy-operatic in "In My Life" the first time I listened
to my Original Broadway cast recording!
Or perhaps because I really just don't like Cosette--the younger's
fine but the older one's a ditz and a spoiled kid who goes for
stalkers at parks.
Where was I?
Ah yes--Judy Kuhn, none the less, sounds very polished and awesome in
this and I cannot wait until her "I Dreamed a Dream" or "Come to Me"
leaks onto YouTube (theGamin will go see those ASAP).

ALI'S LEAVING THE SHOW WITH LEA!

Quote from Lea's blog- "There's a lot going on as far as people coming
into the show and leaving, so here goes:

- Ivan Rutherford will be taking over the role of Valjean in the two
weeks of performances between Drew Sarich's departure and John Owen-
Jones' arrival. Welcome back!

- On October 21, Ann Harada and Ali Ewoldt will be leaving the show
with me.

- Judy Kuhn is coming in to replace me, and begins performances on
October 23. She rocks!

That's about it for right now."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*has a temper tantrum like a 3 year old*

Ok I'm good.
Now I'll never hear Ali again! My first Cosette! If Adam leaves, I
will murder him.

Ok not really because everyone would be mad at me.
So who's taking Ali's and Ann's place then?

[Eponine]

I don't know, I think they are holding auditions for Cosette soon
though.

Ali was my first Cosette too...*tear*

[Combeferre]

[IOwnTheEnjyVest]

Leah Horowitz.... sounds familar.

DAMN IT! I won't be seeing Jenny and I won't be seeing Ann.

[Eponine]

I might want to mention this now...I'm sorry I didn't mention this
before, but PLEASE watch the profanity on here, I really don't want to
have to ban anyone.

It's okay to a certain point, (cause I do it sometimes) but please
don't go overboard.

Thank you. =)

[Combeferre]

think it counts enough!)

[Eponine]

LOL I agree!

[Eponine]

Wow has this board been quiet or what? lol
Anyway, umm...the only new piece of new I heard is that Les Miserables
has closed on Broadway...*cries*
Has anyone else heard anything new concerning Les Mis or it's actors?

[IOwnTheEnjyVest]

The tour starts in Vienna, West Virginia and it's going to move on to
Pennsylvania and that's all I know

[Eponine]
