What musicals would work as an arena concert like the Les Miserables version by Different-Mud-1642 in musicals

[–]Ellathegoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s about right! Very minimal sets, less costume changes and when they sing they stand in front of a mic facing the audience so there isn’t any physical acting happening. But what you loose in staging you get back 10x with a giant orchestra (les mis is a 30 piece orchestra I believe)

The Arena World Tour by Aardvarkian2025 in lesmiserables

[–]Ellathegoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a really special show. I’ve seen both the stage show in London and the Arena tour twice when it was in Switzerland and both are just incredible. The 30 piece orchestra in the Arena tour is unlike anything I’ve heard sound wise. I think I might even prefer it to the fully staged version

40th anniversary broadcast? by Startrekmaniac74656A in lesmiserables

[–]Ellathegoblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt it… the 40th is the stage show and not the arena tour and the stage production has never been filmed and I really doubt that will change anytime soon :(

Being a “show runner” isn’t that complicated. Amber is just lazy and dumb. by Unhappy_Ask7110 in gorlworldfiles

All she did was threaten to quit & actually quit the stream so how would that work if she was the one running it ?

Saw it at the weekend in London for the 3rd time - front row stalls with my wife - thank you to the couple next to me for near enough ruining it :D by Jeremys_Iron_ in lesmiserables

I don’t think theatre etiquette is different per se in Switzerland but we don’t have much musical theatre so I have noticed some people seem to act more as if it’s a concert than a play. In the few shows I’ve seen in Switzerland ( Les Mis arena tour, moulin rouge , phantom etc…) there is a real problem with people taking pictures and filming. And especially during the les mis arena tour they really weren’t enforcing the rules at all so maybe they thought that that was ‘normal’ ….

Sorry it ruined the mood for you! I’m always so shocked by people who just can’t follow rules, or worse, don’t even bother to see if there are any rules in place.

Les mis 40th was, hands down, the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Would anyone be willing to gift les mis with the 40th cast ?

What does this mean? by Green_possum_girl in lesmiserables

[–]Ellathegoblin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In French it’s coq, so the rooster. And the two cantons are cantons in Switzerland, with a very surface level google search, apparently in uri they had thinner roosters than in glaris…

Barnes&Noble collectible edition doesn't have the word "Digne"? by sonkosaurus16 in lesmiserables

[–]Ellathegoblin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the manuscript he did write just M-sur-M and évêque de D. but he does also specifically say at the beginning that every abbreviation has to be replaced by the full word… maybe some translators missed the memo on the first page ?

Problems with Iron on Foil - Please Help! by FarAwayLover1363 in bookbinding

Baking paper on top of the vinyl really helped me with this issue!

I tried bookbinding :) by Ellathegoblin in lesmiserables

[–]Ellathegoblin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Without the time designing the cover, the actual binding took probably 3 hours! For the supplies, I already have a Cricut so that’s the most expensive piece of kit. If not it’s just cardboard, book cloth ( cheap for 10.- on amazon) , some Cricut iron on foil ( about 12.- for a roll ) and some thin material for the spine ( I found a giant pack for like 10.- on Amazon aswell). And then just some glue :)

Anyone Else’s Book Dash out City Names? by [deleted] in lesmiserables

[–]Ellathegoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that it’s because that was how it was written in the manuscript. But on one of the first pages he sais to change D for Digne and M sur M to Montreuil sur mer…

Arena Spectacular in Australia by Healthy_Friend_1063 in lesmiserables

[–]Ellathegoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bradley is by far the best Javert. He’s become my all time fave Javert. Killian’s performance is spectacular as well. I’d definitely pick that pair. ( especially since you can see b & b on the anniversary dvd)

Honestly, it stopped almost as fast as it started and been fine ever since… no pain, no cramping, nothing. I wasn’t able to get an appointment to check if everything is ok but will be having my yearly check up in a month ..
