maybe i should come for the SD-watching of that only, and with loads of popcorn O:) It's going to be carnage! Some people organise board trips for shows and meet ups... We should organise a board trip to the SD 😂😂 We can all just meet in the pub across the street. Reserve the window seats. Sit with our drinks and watch the carnage unfold. |

I’ve seen the plans for the evacuation tunnels for Ball, Boe and Fletch at the Gielgud. Only one a night has to leave by stage door, as two specialist secret exits help the other two escape. One is underground, the other on wires a la ‘Mary Poppins’ for Balls to fly off over the rooftops of Soho to a waiting Cinderella carriage. Boe plans on just walking out the front and getting in his Cortina.

Since they are apparently casting only Les Mis alumni, my vote goes for Craig Mather as Marius. I caught Craig's understudy one night and loved him ... It was Fra Fee .. This was the night of the late night Les Mis Does Christmas which was terrific entertainment. i read this 'announcement' on Facebook and scurried over to find the goss. I saw Alfie and Matt a few tomes at The Queens (sat in front if Nick Jonas one night). As entertainment both gave a good performance, although with Matt it was rather panto'd up, which the audience loved. Yes, I'll try for tickets but it is more of a spectacle than an event, in my opinion. |

There will be no escape from the fangirls though who will discover the evacuation tunnel secrets after the first night then post it over all social media for everyone to see!  |

Watch prices be even higher for the low-rent production of Les Mis.

Give me Patti as Fantine, then you can have my coin.

Not too thrilled by this, but would be quite nice to see Michael tackle Javert. Not surprised by Carrie being Fantine

I guess what they mean by "staged concert" is what they did at the RAH for Phantom. A fully acted concert with some props and stuff. No barricade though. And probably projections. This is what I imagined too. Anyway, I'D like to see Jamie Muscato as Marius |

The ticket sales for the Queens has picked up - very busy now! I thought I might go to see the original brilliant staging for one last time but it seems a lot of other people have had the same idea!! Amazingly there's still tickets available for the last night though (at 'normal' prices). Snap em up quick kids - now confirmed as the end of the incredible Nunn/Caird Les Mis! |

We should rename this thread for the Summer.
"Les Mis: On a Budget... but not for you!".

They should cast JOJ. He's perfect. Saw him twice as Phantom. Sensational! That man could impregnate me with his voice.

JOJ was an amazing Valjean on the last tour. What a voice!

I haven't seen JOJ in Les Mis, but I loved him in The Wild Party at The Other Palace!
