If I were at home I'd totally put this on and be singing my heart out. Have you heard the rumor that the director of The King's Speech wants to bring the Les Miz musical to the screen?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

IT IS NO RUMOR. IT IS TRUTH. I AM SO EXCITED.

Oh, trust, I'll be singing, too. :D

MY HEART EXPANDS, 'TIS GROWN A BULGE IN IT!!1

How has fandom March madness been going for you? You haven't posted about it in, like, two whole days?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

LOVE. IT.

I haven't gotten to do much with it because I actually worked yesterday (ugh) and then today was family slash nap day, but I was pleased to see some of my favorites are still afloat! I really, really want the comedy bracket to come down to Leslie Knope versus Troy Barnes. I'll end up voting Leslie, but I want the two of them to come out on top there. And then Scully vs Buffy and Caroline versus Veronica and CJ versus whoever (I don't even care about the drama bracket at this point except for CJ).

I'm all sad because I don't have a horse in the Drama bracket anymore since Juliet and Joan were voted out, so I just vote for the ladies when I can. I actually used my "vote for the ladies" rule to vote for Liz Lemon instead of Troy, but like the Scully vs. Eleven race, I'll be happy with whomever wins (though I'm pulling for Scully. Team Scully has really put forth an effort this year.)

Caroline's losing to Lorelai, and it breaks my heart! But Buffy and Veronica are guaranteed to move on, so I'm content two of my girls will go far.

Oh! I'm almost done with Parks and Rec season 1! I'm in love with Leslie and Anne's friendship! Yay Amy Pohler and Rashida Jones! Bechdel friendship FTW!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Aw, sad! Just vote CJ for everything! That's what I'm going to do!

(though I'm pulling for Scully. Team Scully has really put forth an effort this year.)

Me, too! I'm cheering for her hardcore.

I KNOW. CAROLINE STAGE A COMEBACK PLEASE.

OH I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE LIKING IT! And the friendship is definitely one of the best things about the show!

I came home from work to see my dad watching Les Miz. So we're crying our eyes out and singing along, and Nick Jonas shows up. My dad looks at him, looks at me, and all he can say is "Nick Jonas is not a baritone."

I mean Enjolras was always hotter than Marius, but now it's just not funny.

BTW, have you seen this?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I KNOW I KNOW. STUNT CASTING IS NOT NECESSARY IN THIS SHOW. EVERYONE ON EARTH LOVES IT ALREADY.

Also, I just finished it, and I...may have a new obsession with the guy who plays Enjolras. I went out and stalked him on the internet and OMG. THAT MAN IS MADE OF SEX. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. OMG.

Have I seen what now?

[eilowyn.livejournal.com]

This.

My dad's now rooting for poor little Nick Jonas!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Haha! There were moments I would think, "He's actually not too bad," and then there were other moments where I was like, "HE IS THE WORST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO THIS MUSICAL." Poor kid.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YES. A MILLION TIMES. SO MUCH LOOOOOOVE.

Did you ever see the tenth anniversary performance with Lea Salonga as Eponine?

[powerofthebook.livejournal.com]

It's wonderful!! (Except for the J-Bro - just plug your ears when he's on stage. Michael Ball must be rolling his eyes...)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

OMG IS HE MARIUS? I thought maybe he was Enjolras, and I could handle that since it's a smaller part. BUT HE'S MARIUS? I MIGHT DIE. Can he even sing? Because Michael Ball could sing. His version of "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" always makes me tear up.

Right now they're showing "Master of the House"--hee!

[powerofthebook.livejournal.com]

No, I'd marry the guy who plays Enjolras in this one in a heartbeat - he absolutely commands the stage. I think they just wanted the Jonas boy (not sure which one he is) for stuntcasting purposes. Oy.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I've only seen a little of this Enjolras, but I'm very taken with him, too--and he has fantastic dimples!

The little boy who plays Gavrash (or however you spell his name) is the biggest ham! I adore it!

I think they just wanted the Jonas boy (not sure which one he is) for stuntcasting purposes. Oy.

Oy is right. Ugh. IT'S LES MIS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO STUNTCAST. THE SHOW IS THE STAR.

I MISSED IT LAST NIGHT BECAUSE OF FMM BUT MY FRIEND HAS THE DVD AND WE ARE HAVING A PARTY THIS WEEKEND!! I am excited to see it, though.
