Default NSR - Les Miserables... amazing!

OK.... this is absolutely Not Spine Related... if you are not interested in the theater... skip this.

Last weekend I took my 18 year-old daughter with me to NY for the 4th International Conference on Ethics in Biomedical Research. It was a grueling weekend but the conference was great (I'll post more later) and we got to see Les Miserables.

We had talked about going to see something that we haven't seen before, but when I learned that Lea Salonga was playing Fantine... I had to go see it. She was in the dream cast 10th anniversary recording as Eponine and I've seen her play that part. I've also seen her Tony winning performance as Kim in Miss Saigon.... she is absolutely amazing. It was too good to pass up... seeing her in a different role.

We got excellent seats. It's been about 6 years since we've seen it and our memories must have faded.... this was better than ever... better than we remembered. Each big finish had the audience completely awestruck... If you have not seen this... make sure you don't miss it when it comes to your part of the country.

Lea Salonga was fantastic and really stood out... although Celia Keenan-Bolger was up to the task, playing Eponine opposite Salonga, who many feel is the best Eponine ever. The songs they did together were incredible.

I can't say enough about it... go see it. They have extended the broadway tour well into the summer. www.lesmiserables.com.

PS... Rent is touring... another excellent production. I'll see it Thursday night in So. Cal...
