Justin's Theatre Reviews

Hello all! In honor of the 30th Anniversary of Les Mis in a few weeks, I will be doing review of all of the cast recordings (that are in English), both annivers ary concerts and the 2012 movie. A new review will come out each day leading up to the day of the 30th anniversary which is on October 8. The first review will be posted on October 2. I will see you all in 7-10 days when I am done watching/listening to every single cast, version, etc. of Les Miserables.

We did not want Carr

   I often try to brainstorm ideas to bring more readers to this blog, and ways to stay active on here.  So.......      First of all, I am going to create a Facebook page for this blog, where I shall post fun theatre related stuff, as well as links to my reviews.    To keep more reviews coming, I am going to start reviewing cast recordings!    As a for fun thing, every year I am going to start doing an annual "awards show" (more info to come in next blog post)   Last, I think I have enough social media connections to start doing interviews with professional performers. Thank you for reading my list of updates.
