Does this need to exist?

Idk if it needs to exist, but CamMack doesn't care, it's making him even richer.

Does anyone know who the rest of the cast is in this concert version please other than Ball, Boe, Fletcher and Lucas? E.g. who is playing Marius? No. Believe me, when it's announced someone will post it here within minutes. Or before it's announced.

Lots of stuff exists beyond food, air, and water without being needed. Just because it's not necessarily for the upkeep of life doesn't mean it needs to justify itself. You can just not go.

Got an email from London Theatre Direct:
If that happens to be true, then it's not staged at all.

I would argue that the o2 was about as staged as you could possibly get without it being on an actual theatre stage with a curtain.

Nice plagiarism. You should look up the the definition of statement vs question. Its a discussion forum I’m led to believe, so let’s discuss. FYI I won’t be going but I can exchange knowledge in public discourse regarding the reasoning or substance of a production. This is a revival of a a concert production, it’s trading on the star of previous Les Mis alumni for what I consider an extended run of a concert. What I choose to see and not see is of no concern to you and is a weak retort. If we were to follow your rules universities would be closed, discourse dead. This production will exist, whether it needs to or not is up for debate. If you don’t want to to debate that’s fine but don’t try to shut it down. As a ‘fan’ of theatre, if you are, you should realize and have knowledge regarding censorship in theatre. See Theatre’s Act 1968.

Got an email from London Theatre Direct: If that happens to be true, then it's not staged at all. It's billed as 65piece orchestra (which is one reason I'd book!) So I'm guessing they'd be on stage as I guess the pit couldn't accommodate that.

We went to Six last night is it like the children in the front row touching the stage nearly fainting over the actors? I think I understood finally what ‘staning’ was.

Managed to get the last grand circle £45 seat for Sat 23/11/19 evening. Actually, it was the very last available seat for that performance! I loved the 25th anniversary concert cinema screening, and I'm now really looking forward to hearing Alfie Boe sing "Bring Him Home" live!

So I'm guessing they'd be on stage as I guess the pit couldn't accommodate that. The delfont mackintosh website says "with a cast and orchestra of over 65" I read that as cast and orchestra combined making over 65. But another website said orchestra of 65 so guess depends on how people interpret the wording.

Anyway, the only thing we know for sure is that no one knows what the hell's going on. Only CamMack.

Feel like I read somewhere this morning that said separately said orchestra of 65, but can't remember where.

It's definitely around 65 people on stage in total (cast and orchestra) - split around 50/50. So nowhere near a 65 piece orchestra - but much larger than in the pit at the Queen's either with the original or for the reboot.
The press release is slightly ambiguous - and so some of the stories have misread it - not dissimilar to the press release of a few weeks back when it announced the closure and reopening.

From the ticket sales and discussions there does seem big demand for this.
Of course, it is not for everyone but what production is.

Just had another look after my rushed booking yesterday. Every single Saturday matinee looks like it has sold out. Wow! I'm still a little confused why there is a gap at the start and end of the run between this and the 2 Queens runs. Ignoring the argument over it being a different production surely if this started and finised right at the weekend of the original closure and new opening that would make more sense?

Do you want a separate thread for the concert or prefer to leave it all here? I’m happy to move things around if you think it would be better.
Your call!

What I’m most amazed about is that Michael “One Step Out of Time” Ball is playing Javert. It just seems so wrong on every level. Anyone seen him lately? Is he Michael Balti or Michael Ballet at the moment?

I loved the 25th anniversary concert cinema screening, and I'm now really looking forward to hearing Alfie Boe sing "Bring Him Home" live! On Alfie's previous outing as JVJ I went to an early performance in the run, joined one of his fan forums afterwards and asked why the audience were applauding over that last big note in Bring Him Home. Lots of fans said the same responding to my post and it stopped, thank goodness ... On on the question of Marius ... Do we think there might be another TV search? (Only slightly joking).

I'd say new thread too.
With the Queen's Theatre and touring productions it could all get a bit too crowded and confusing here otherwise.
