todays the day ....

The title of this thread made me laugh

     great title for a thread, soozy!  

yes, tonight I have a date with Russell and Jack....and I can't wait!

I'll report back by bedtime!  

What's happening to night? 

Kaffers is going to hear the people sing Cinds

What people?

   I've been waiting months to go and see Les Mis... tonight is finally the night.

cinds... I know you'll be disappointed now.  Sorry 

  Is it at the theatre or cinema?

I just had my niece on the phone - she said she'd ordered the DVD. I said - oooh my friend in Ireland is going to see it tonight -

she said 'I didn't know you'd got a friend in Ireland'.

When I explained she was a bit 

I do think of most of you as my friends - is that odd?

Ireland?  

Is she of of you lot? That's how good a friend I am - Geography was never my strong point

Funny, now you mention it... me too Soozy

Maybe the smallness of the forum gives it extra intimacy? 

cinema... 

(in a local theatre - just to confuse you)

hahaha.. yeah, I'm one of donks' lot!    I know what you mean about the friends thing though - I think of and refer to people here as friends too.  sometimes, if I'm talking to someone who knows my foruming habits I'll refer to them as forumfriends, but that can get you a raised eyebrow sometimes.

have a great time 

Kaffy!

Have a good one

    I love that Sooz!    I'm leaving to collect my niece in about 15 minutes... I aim to be one of the first in to get my pick of the seats.   

thanks pengles and erin.. this film has a lot to live up to!

Come back and tell us what you think Kaffs ... when tomorrow comes!!

Don't know what that's got to do with anything but ..............I thought I'd post it anyway

It made me sing sooz

Have you got plenty of goodies (and tissues)?

Look down, look down ...

oh, I wish I was there with you Kaffs ... Have a Kia Ora for me!

Please tell me you have tissues ...

I'm back.... hmmm... what to say.....   it was ok, I guess.  

I gotcha, didn't I?  Say I did!

Well.... I am totally knackered now.   Talk about a rollercoaster!  Got goosebumps as soon as 'Look down' started and again at 'I dreamed a dream' (that was the first time I started crying... didn't really stop for long after that!)  I thought it was fan-bloomin'-tastic.     

I LOVED Anne Hathaway - she so deserved her award.    There's something very special about a live show, but in some ways I enjoyed this a bit more - it was easier to get really caught up in the emotion of it because you could see the 'acting' up close.     

Loved Hugh and Russell (Soozy - I don't really fancy him, but he did have a certain something when he was in his civvies and trying to infiltrate the rebels - I think it was the jaunty wee cap!)      Gavroche was lovely - I was already in (silent) bits when Eponine bought it - but I might have even let out a sob at the sight of his wee face with the tear running down it - and don't even talk about when Javert pinned the medal on his body!     Little Cossette was good too - and isn't she so pretty?     Loved the Thenardiers - I thought it was inspired casting before I went and I wasn't disappointed.

Can you tell if I liked it yet?       If there was one little thing I could say was less then perfect - I think Alfie Boe just shades Hugh Jackman at Bring Him Home.   Oh and how TINY was Samantha Barks' waist? 

Love to stay and chat.. but I have to go and place a pre-order at Amazon... 

PS - russell said Hi Soozy

PPS  I kept wanting to applaud at the end of the songs, but everyone finally applauded at the end!

Awwwwwwwww 

Been dying to know what you thought - I held it altogether until Javert pinned the medal on Gavroche - so glad it wasn't anti climactic for you - you have waited a long time.

It sounds great Kaffy, glad you enjoyed it 

I gave up trying to hold it together quite early - but I love a good cry.    Can't wait to get the DVD so I can enjoy a good sobfest in the privacy of my own home.     <==  wish I'd had these on the way out.     

it was, Rog - and I'm glad I decided to see it for the first time on the big screen in all its uninterrupted glory

I'm definitely going to watch it now Kaffy. Funny it doesn't look good from the pics but so many people say its amazing. I'm a crier though... sounds like it'll be a fest

too much singing
