Les Miserables: Live!

Yesterday I finally did the one thing left in my journey throughout Les Miserables, I finally saw it live on stage in London.


Oh my God it was so amazing! I don't feel I can even describe the excitement I felt seeing it live and with the sets and the music and the costumes. It was just brilliant! I knew it had a revolving set, but I never knew to what extent it was used, It was so cool! It did make me a little dizzy at first, but I got used to it after the first few songs.

My only complaint I have about the whole show was that it felt a little rushed, It was 3 hours long but it still felt like the actors were rushing through the songs too much. I felt it could have been paced a little slower.

I'd really love to show some clips of the show, but obviously i could record any of it. There's really no way i can describe how good the show was, it's just something you have to experience for yourself. I'm so glad I've finally seen it live now, I still really love the movie and will continue to watch it over and over again but i cant wait to go back to the theatre and see it on stage again, and i know i will be back soon i can tell you that!

It's a real shame that you cant buy DVD copies of the show on stage. I have the anniversary editions, but they're not the same because you don't get to experience all the sets. I don't see why they cant sell a filmed version of the show at the theatres so that people who came to see the show can take home a copy of it. What would be the problem with that? I don't know why they don't do that.

Since i couldn't take any pictures of the show going on, here's a random few of the day i had at the theatre. (Because I'm weird and i want to show you proof that i went!)






This was a cool Les Mis Rosette I bought off Ebay to wear to the show. It's pretty isn't it!



These were some of the cool Les Mis pictures inside the theatre. I really love the middle one, i want it for my house!




I got some French coloured M&Ms to enjoy whilst I watched the show. (Actually, they were union jack coloured, but let's keep that a secret!)

I got myself a cool Les Miserables T-shirt too at the gift shop!
Memories of the day. My shirt, the programme for the show and a cool souvenir  photo book too!




See, i really was there!!!
