Broadway

i love little shop of horrors! that movie made me laugh sooo hard!

lilly, i haven't seen rocky horror. should i?

little shop of horrors is.....strange in like a funny/wierd/what-the-hell kind of way. lol

that's a good way to describe it. i haven't seen the play, but rick moranis is in the movie, and he's always worth watching.

yeah. i watched like a lot of black and white movies last year in drama. it was...kind cookey i guess you could say. lol

Am I the only one whose seen Les Miserables? I am in love with that musical! and wicked, and the Scarlet Pimpernel and Phantom. I tried reading Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo, but its way too long and since I already know what happens I gave up! lol

no, you're not. i've seen it, and i love it. i cried, though.
i read it abridged. *shrug*

I haven't seen it. I feel like I'm really out of the loop when it comes to musicals and stuff. That's probably because I am Refresh me please - what exactly is Les Miserables about?

I haven't seen it. I've only really watched Wicked, and I know a lot of like Phantom of the Opera.

This isn't a Broadway musical, but Sweeny Todd looks really good. lol

Sweeney Todd was amazing. Wicked is coming to my city this season! i'm going to see it.

i'm in band and we're doing Phantom of the Opera for our marching show next year!

SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

We're singing it in Choir!

I soooo want to see Sweany Todd!

i saw the movie sweeny todd.

sam, les mis is about a failed french revolution. well, actually, it's a little more complicated.

(Note to my readers: this is anne going on about a musical she loves. this may take a while )

so, in the beginning, the main character Jean Valjean (yes, that's actually his name ) steals a loaf of bread because his sister's children are starving and gets sent to jail for 10 years. (5 years for what he did, the rest because he tried to escape 3 times). he's finally set free on parole, and then proceeds to steal the silverware and candlesticks of the bishop who takes him in for the night. on the run again, he changes his identity and becomes M. le Maire of a small town. there, he meets Fantine, a factory worker who's dying. she tells him that she has a daughter, Cosette, who she left with an inkeeper and his wife because she couldn't afford to keep her. she dies soon after, and he vows to find and rescue Cosette.

Enter Javert, the police chief, who's been chasing after Jean Valjean for years. Jean reveals himself to be the one Javert is after, and they fight. Jean wins and runs again, this time to rescue Cosette. he finds her and buys her from the inkeeper and his wife, who are greedy crooks.

skip many years to when she's a young woman and enter Marius, a young college student. cosette and jean are now living in paris, where marius and his friends are planning a revolution against the government. cosetts sees marius and they fall in love. he goes to see her with the help of eponine, the daughter of the inkeeper, who happens to be in love with marius. (eponine is, not the inkeeper ) cosette and marius fall more deeply in love, but they're interupted by the former inkeeper and his band of thieves. eponine screams to get them away, and jean comes out to see what's wrong. he thinks that javert and the law have found him at last, and he makes plans to go with cosette to england.

skip to the night of the planned revolution. jean, having realized that cosette is in love, goes to the rebels and joins them. javert joins the rebels as a spy, and is quickly discovered. they tie him up, then give him to jean to kill. jean sets him free instead, and goes back to fighting. he saves marius' life, and they are the only two rebels not to die . he carries marius through the sewers, where he meets javert. jean gets javert to let him deliver marius to his family, swearing to come back and face justice. javert finally lets him go, then throws himself off a bridge when he realizes that it was jean who saved his life.

cosette and marius are married, and jean confesses all of his misdeeds to marius. he then dies, with cosette and marius at his side and that's the end.

does that help?

I've already had this discussion with Jen so I'm good with that one! lol
