i first saw the preview for the new movie version of les miserables when i was in oxford this summer, when the girls in the office and i watched it maybe 15 times over the course of 2 days.  the straight boys were very confused.


i am VERY excited to hear that the producers claim (we'll see if it ends up that way) that every song will be sung live on every take, preventing the obvious lip synching you see in most movie musicals.

 

i saw les mis in london when i was a senior in high school and fell in love.  such an emotional response; it was one of the first musicals i'd ever seen live and i wanted to climb up on that stage and sing the finale alongside the actors.

and now, the movie with a great cast.  december 14th cannot come soon enough!
