day one of les miserable

ok if you don’t have tickets yet…get them.. it’s going to be amazing. everyone is perfectly cast..sounds gorgeous. we actually learned and sang the entire show a t the end of the day. tomorrow we start staging it. we’ have full on costumes and wigs..and set..and it seats 18.,00000  did i mention.

i  got to reunite with a lot of my friend s from when i did les miz before. it’s quite special to be involved with this. and jly sounds beautiful in the role. rosie won’t be doing it because of a family emergency but ruth williamson will be great. i could go on and on about each cast member ,but than that’s what the audience is for.

RIchard Jay was excited, humbled, gracious, strong ready to go..and Kevin Stites does not miss one wrong note..and we had some.. it’s an incredible ensemble and it’s going to be intense, overwhelming and i’m thankful for every moment. maybe photos soon.

if i dont’ write to some of you ,forgive me, i have no time at the end of the day right now…xo

    So, Jen, how long IS JLY’s hair? It’s not really longer than Howard Stern’s, is it??

    I guess I’ll judge for myself August 9. Thanks to the wonderful Linda Soo Hoo, Stubbleyou and I are sitting next to each other. We’re expecting a ping from the stage when we stand for your entrance applause!

    Do you have any update on Rosie’s emergency? I was quite a fan of her show, and almost feel I know her adoptive kids since she spoke of them so often. Just hope it’s not too serious.
