In the Play Les Miserables, this past Saturday 25th of November in Broadway I had the most amazing theatre experience. The story of the Miserable itself is a touching, meaningful and extraordinary one. The cast of the play was amazing; people say that choosing a good cast of characters is 90% of making a good play. The cast was amazing, how each character fitted so well for their part, even the "little people," Cosette, and the little boy, they couldn't have been older than ten years old. What impressed me most was the scenery, how they changed the scene so quickly and efficient and how good they were. I was truly impressed by the how much detail and real everything looked. This amazing musical touched everybody in the audience in one way or another, at one point during the show everybody was sitting still listening to the words of a wonderful song sang by Cosette, the little girl who's mom is far away and has just passed away. Around the audience you could see tears rol!
ling down people's cheeks everybody was hypnotized and focused (even the two little kids sitting behind me that did nothing but kick my chair and talk, even they were touched (or sleeping)).
When I first entered the show I was somewhat scared because I personally had hated the past musicals that I had gone to. I thought musicals were boring and dumb, I never understood why they had to sing the whole story instead of just speaking like regular plays. After the first songs I had made a one hundred and eighty degree turn on my thoughts towards musicals. I could not believe how great it was. The way they actually told such a fascinating story singing such magnificent songs was unbelievable. There were two hour and forty five minute halves, which is a pretty long time to be sitting in a theater, but I was so into it that it honestly felt like I was maybe there for about an hour.
I cant stress enough how good all the actors were, how they projected ...
