I caught the last performance of YAS' Les Misérables (Liberty cast) at the 24th St. Theater. I didn't bring a camera, so instead I'll share this trailer by Alex Greenlee (Jean Valjean).
(Alex Greenlee is such a talent. He was totally amazing in Runaway Stage Production's "Catch Me If You Can" too.)
It's been a five-month long rehearsal and performance schedule for the cast, with the certainty that now summer is here, some of them won't see each other again after this afternoon. With the stirring music and script, it was hard for the cast to keep their emotions in check for the final performance. Tylar's voice cracked in her song, but I understand....
At intermission, I stood next to some cast members of the Revolution cast, who were audience members for the final performance. They talked about how hard it was to keep from singing out loud in the audience. They've been drilled in exactly that, after all!
Excellent jobs by all, including Alex Greenlee, Asa Williams (Thenardier) and Adan Hensley (Javert). Tylar (Eponine) was wonderful, plus Kate Brugger (Fantine), Abigail Telander (Enjolras), and Megan Muchowski (Gavroche)....
