Les Miserables

The cast and production were magnificent! We had great seats for our last show together before Daughter One moves to Florida to resume her career with Disney. And it was worth every penny, of which we spent many.

I’ve seen some great shows over the years, including Wicked,  Joseph,  Ka,   One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the list goes on. But this one was special.

All these people – the performers, the lighting and effects folks, some truly fantastic musicians, the production staff – everyone plied their skills to give us a truly wondrous experience. We know something about the years of commitment on the part of each of these folks that allowed them to come together last night to provide us with a moment together that we  could have gotten in no other way.

Standing ovations have become de rigeur at high school productions these days. But it’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen an audience actually brought to their feet.

Whoever you are and whatever you do, do that thing as well and with as much passion as these did these performers last night, and the world will be better off.

To each and all of you involved in this production, seriously thank you!

Bonus: To love another person is to see the face of God. Quite possibly my favorite line of all time.
