So, the morning that we were going to see the play, I was pretty excited because I'd seen the anniversary thing that was on TV (they just had all the songs and stuff on the TV one). I knew the songs were good, but I was excited to see it live. I also didn't know the whole story. Meaning I wasn't prepared to spend the rest of the day on-and-off crying and feeling terrible for poor Jean ValJean, then poor Fantine, then poor Cosette, then poor Eponine, the list goes on and on. So I was picked up from school right before lunch, and then we were off. One el trip and a walk through the cold later, we were in the crowded theater entrance. I had never been in the Cadillac theater before, and, well lets just say it was very... ornate. It was pretty cool to look around, though. Here is a picture of what the place looked like, not the actual theater that we sat down and watched it in, but the sort of hallway/lobby area:
Then, over Christmas break, I saw the movie. As music goes, it was a completely different story. My friends didn't notice it as much as I did, but the music was pretty bad. I think I noticed it more, because the singing didn't even approach the singing at the play. The acting was good, though. I think I was really not impressed by the movie because I had already seen the play, and the play was just so much better. So, there's my long overdue Les Miz blog, hope you enjoyed it
