In our debut episode, we share our first introductions to the theatre world to discover that Sally fell in LOVE with The Scarlet Pimpernel as a child, and Ashley went full homeschooler on her Phantom of the Opera obsession by reading the book first. After making our case for why Les Mis=Aladdin, we take a deep dive into Les Miserables with a constructive dump on the 2012 movie.

We talked really excitedly about a bunch of Broadway people we love, and we don’t want you to miss their names due to our fangirl speed, so here’s a list of our favs: Colm Wilkinson, Lea Salonga, Aaron Tveit, Terrence Mann, Michael Maguire, and Frances Ruffelle. Oh, and Hadley-freaking-Fraser. 

Local theatre shout-out: The Pumphouse Players in Cartersville, GA. 

Check out the show notes on TheBroadwayGinger.com to watch some videos we mentioned about Les Miserables, Robert Preston, and the 1987 Tony Awards.
