I have a video of a high school performance of One Day More... and it makes this one look pretty damn annoying. The arm raising at the end? This isn't church. They aren't singing about God either in this song. Jean Valjean doesn't have much life to his voice and they are trying to keep up with a slightly faster tempo and I couldn't stand the violins at the start.... lol =/
@noodle0912 ...does every version of "One Day More" have to have marching? Is it a necessity? I don't think so. Why would you want to copy what's already been done? I was recently in a concert version of Les Mis. We didn't march because, 1.) it was the concert, but 2.) we wanted the audience to concentrate on the lyrics to get the story, not the blocking to understand what's happening.
JAVERT is terrible, the chours was good, but their acting was terrible, Marius was........not so good. Coset was amazing. Val Jean was good but he should be a weathered old man not so young. The set is pure crap, and so is the lighting.
I loved the lighting up at the top of the bridge or whatever that was, but I wish the flag would've been up there instead of down where it was. It would've looked amazing!
that was great. i wish my school had boys that would try out for the musical. normally we have like 10 guys in the cast and like 30 girls. if we had enough we would prolly do Les Miserables. its a great show
I feel like everyone expect this to be as good as Broadway, but do remember it is a high school production of HIGH SCHOOL students, they are not going to be perfect. This is after lots of rehearsal and strains on their young adult voices. Be a little less critical and commend them on all the hard work they did.
Enjorlas was AWESOME probebly the best one i ever scene (school version wise) the set was amazing but there wasn't enough movment on stage, but good all around
its a good rendition of one day more i must say. you could also look at my videos though its not that perfect maybe you could get some ideas. just helping here. look at this video "RC"-Les miserables-15 One Day More
this is shit

Why aren't they marching? I mean, all technical crap aside, why the hell aren't they marching!? Did the director even see the show?

Javert was awful. The rest were quite good. Particularly Marius and Cosette.
DTT240991 1 year ago
Cosette: You were amazing. :O
Eponine was a bit pitchy.
Most lacked originality.
And the arms... WHY???
And I know this is a school production. :p

The song is alright, but I cannot ignore my biggest quip with this entire show; why are they outside a castle?

@4getregret it's not a castle. It's Valjean's mansion :D

Marius is pretty good.
Valjean is strong but way too overwhelming at parts.
Cosette is beautiful.
Eponine is pitchy and has some vowel work.
Enjolras is has a bit too much "pop-star"
Javert needs a character voice and needs to make it his own.
Ensemble is strong. Hate the arms at the end.
slickPace92 2 years ago
I COMPLETELY agree!!
I thought Eponine sucked, sorry.
But I thought Enjorlas was pretty good!
Not the best production ever but they pulled it off!

Flag a bit early, seemingly no movement, Eponines voice, Marius' costume: all problems... otherwise the voices seemed very good

Woah...really good for high school. Go Valjean! I swear, on one of the 'one day more"s he sang the note loud enough that he was like all i heard. XD
i wish it was on youtube with better sound quality; it was super static-y....then again, it might just be my earbuds :(
Bravo! Post the rest of the show?
