Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:28pmI'm 99% sure the show will be considered a revival. In other times many shows like West Side Story and Dreamgirls would close, go on the road, and come back to New York for limited engagements and they'd be considered revivals.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:30pmOn the bright side, it's only going to use the Broadhurst, not one of the larger, more in-demand houses. It will fill a theatre and provide work for actors during a time of the year that is often quite slow. I personally think it unnecessary, but it's not as if they are trying to remount the show for an open run. Updated On: 2/16/06 at 06:30 PM

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:31pmSh*t. This couldn't have been announced earlier? Literally, an HOUR ago, I bought a ticket for the tour in Philly, because I figured it would be the last opportunity I'd have for awhile to see a professional production. Dammit. What a waste.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:31pmI'm actually really excited. I would love to see this, and am glad that it is more of a limited-run return, rather than a revival ten years from now, with possible changes, since I never got to see the Broadway production the first time around. I will definately want to go see this.

It is a special limited-run to celebrate its 21st Anniversary.
Those of you who complain that it back too soon should read the news CAREFULLY.

I'd rather see CATS come back for a year than LES MIS for six months.
Don't get me wrong. I HATE CATS and LOVE LES MIS, but it's too soon from it's closing. WHY BRING IT BACK?
It won't even have a new artistic vision. Same set! The only thing I like about this is that I'll finally be able to see the show.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

First let me say that I ADORE Les Mis. One of my favorites.
Second let me say that I think this is a really bad idea. It's far far far far FAR too soon.
Third let me say that I will probably go see it anyway.

OMG idc, this was my first broadway show and just being able to see it again probably like 4 years later and being able to remember everything clearly will be an extraordinary experience.
Since I saw it, I've been in 2 productions of it and it will be so special to see it officially come back. And they're searching for big headliner names, thats amazing
What news!

Why? Nothing changes the fact that this show ran FOREVER on Broadway and has only been gone three and a half years. Coming back for six performances is too much, let alone six months.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:45pmme too BSo! I'm really interested to see a fresh cast of people, I expect, WANT to be in this production and actually act. I will definitely be seeing this.

Well, I won't see it. But I also won't get to see the other shows that are looking for a theatre that lost the Broadhurst to this.

Thank you Cameron!

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:50pmIm happy for the people who wanted to see this show. But I can't help but wonder Why? with the bad taste of Broadway lately it will probably run for 20 years.
