  • I love this. Every time I watch it, I start to tear up. Just goes to show, you can NEVER judge a book by its cover.

  • Wow. just. wow. I for­got that there aren’t wor­kers here and wasn’t going to watch but I could and wow. Ama­zing. I have to watch again and learn a few things about life

  • I am here, baw­ling like a baby. You never know what is hid­den beneath, do you? Amazing…

  • Simon looks pre-orgasmic.
    Point taken.

    casey’s last blog post..Lac­rosse Polls on the Wind Down

  • That was truly fan­tas­tic. Les Mis is my favo­rite all time thea­tri­cal pro­duc­tion.
    This is true beauty. Per­fect quotes.

  • I wish they’d edi­ted out the cha­rac­ters in the wings. And the moral is almost too obvious. Makes me won­der if it wasn’t all cho­reo­graphed beforehand …

    I once pla­yed in the pit for a series of Les Mis per­for­man­ces. OK, it was a youth pro­duc­tion. But still.

    the amoeba’s last blog post..The Last Hawai‘ian Ferry Tale

    • Amoeba, it’s nice to see you, and to think you came all the way from Hawaii.

      From watching other clips from the show they pan to the jud­ges cons­tantly, and to the side wing MC’s,who run com­men­tary throughout the per­for­mance — so that is pretty rou­tine.
      It looks to me from what I’ve read that the jud­ges don’t know ahead of the ini­tial show, which this was, but I’m sure the MC’s heard her, they’d have to prac­tice on the stage.

  • I’ve never seen Les Mis.

    Or Rent.

    Does that make me a bad person?

  • I’m a le Miz fan, and this is my favo­rite song to sing when nobody else is around. But jeez. I’m just baw­ling lis­te­ning to her. What an ama­zing voice. How yah been cooper?

    kellypea’s last blog post..Still here after all this time.

  • I think I moved from NY par­tially so if Les Mis comes around ago I wouldn’t have to take a bevy of 14 year old girls and/or gay men

    Yet her per­for­mance knoc­ked me for a loop. After the 20th or so watching I did begin thin­king – if they did something with her eye­brows, hair and body

    I dont care what was arran­ged. For her to have that smile and look con­fi­dent before the per­for­mance yet walk away sure she didn’t win – and I don’t think that was plan­ned — oh this could be life chan­ging. Obviously I’m in need of some pri­vacy and/or good friends:) My family’s in town (guess you call it that) and sur­pri­singly they love it and have been on best behavior

    • If we just stoo­ped jud­ging so early.
      For me it’s down­town D.C. or Gettys­burg which is the draw…if only it were theater…I’d be happier.

  • […] was over at Cooper’s spot and ran upon this clip. I want you to watch this in its entirety…and when you click on the […]

  • I lis­te­ned to Elaine Paige sing this song, then lis­te­ned to this ver­sion. This is less thea­tri­cal, more from the heart. What have I/WE lear­ned from this? at 47 your life does not end, for some it might just begin –again, do not judge a book by it’s cover, admit it most book covers do not do jus­tice to the works inside, y beauty is something you feel. There are hun­dreds of little les­sons. Her voice is beau­ti­ful. Even a non musi­cal loving man can appre­ciate that.

    My wife is a Les Miz fan, she has lis­te­ned to this and the story any time it comes up.

  • I stum­bled across this on another blog and had to post it too. This was just ama­zing. I got goo­se­bumps lis­te­ning to this.
