Les Miserables, our Fall 1998 production
Back to Blair   "To the Barricades!!"     Eponine dies at the barricade.       Cossete and Marius agree to marry, and kiss (sort of).     Javert at his moment of truth.     Les Miserables is more famous as a musical, the stage play by Tim Kelly is less well known and rarely performed. Just before showtime we got a call from New York, from the producers of the musical. They wanted written reassurance by fax that we were not producing their musical without permission. I got the unsettling sensation that we would have been in, um, big trouble if we had. All was well since we did not use a scrap of music or any images from their show. The producer, his lawyer and I had a big laugh and I invited them down to see our play.     Our Les Mis program was made from 11x17" paper since our new copier could handle it. The copier room however, was very unpleasant by the time the 3000 programs were printed. The technician said it was ozone, which is a lung irritant. Apparantly the ventilation in our copier room is a little lacking.   Check out Into the Woods! Back to M.B.P. Presents   ...me again. There is more and more coming to the Stage Crew website including "How to Build a Real Curving Staircase" (we've made three), the famous Fiddler video clip, and images of every program since 1974. Check back after exams. If you have old or interesting Blair Stage Crew images get in touch.   jkaluta (at) mbhs.edu   Bye!
