After weeks and weeks and weeks of preparations, rehearsals, and work, performances of Les Miserables finally began last week. Kent and I attended today, but we've heard all about the past shows. Everyone we've talked to has raved about how good it is, and both Brandt and Blythe have been pleased with the way things have gone down. They have been at school for long hours and been frustrated in many respects with how rehearsals have been, but it was obvious from tonight's performance that all the hard work has paid off.
Brandt is lead sound and Blythe is over props. One of the silver candlesticks broke at rehearsal just the day or two before the show started. Blythe asked me to put out a plea on the Google group to see if anyone had something silver looking they could borrow. No one sent me a message so poor Jean Val Jean stole a broken candlestick. From where we were sitting, you couldn't tell, but closer up, it was more obvious.
Kent and I were both super impressed with the singing, staging, set, and of course, the sound. It's sad to go to a production your kids are in and not actually see your kids, but I took pictures after the show. I've also got a few pictures from Brandt and Blythe. It is wonderful to have them both participating in such a fun part of school.
