LES MISERABLES CAST LIST-2017 Please do yourself a favor and read this message first! (In its entirety!) Well, here we have come to the posting of the cast list for the world's longest running musical, LES MISERABLES.
I hope with all that is in me that you will all take the message of our show into account as you read this list, that you focus on your musical theatre family and how far we have come and how far we have yet to go.
We need to be happy for each other, we need to stick together, we need to never let jealousy or disappointment cloud the truth that our obligation is to our audience, to the story, and to each other. Focus on the lessons each of us need to learn from this piece and the lessons we need to help teach our audience.
The great theatre teacher and director (and father of modern acting) once said: "Love the art in your self, not yourself in the art." I hope you all can feel that...the wonderful gift of having art within you to share and caring more about that art than seeing yourself up there on the stage.
Remember what we talked about, you can't mourn the loss of something that was never yours to begin with. Remember why you are here to make magic upon our stage. We have been given an amazing opportunity to share a beautiful story, let’s all join together and tell it with love and integrity.
We had some many great people audition and so many fantastic interpretations of each character. I expect our leads to be the nicest, most humble people alive who go out of their way to help and support everyone and to be prepared and memorized early on.
I expect our ensemble to support each character, actor, teacher, techie, etc. To come ready to work hard and focus. To use our time more wisely. We don't need more time, we just need to use our time better. We could have gone many directions with this piece and we went a way that we feel really excited about. I hope you all are excited too.
Mrs. Hawkes, Ms. Nelsen, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Ward, Mrs. Daly and I appreciate all your time and hard work. Please come back after the break, ready to dive in and work hard. This musical has the capability of being the BEST EVER!😁
Sincerely, Mr. Neal Johnson
