Jenny Galloway, score.

John Owen Jones and Judy Kuhn :D

Haha John told me about Jenny Galloway, he was happy he wouldn't be the only Brit. He said he ain't changing his accent (which is probably good because he sang one line of DYHTPS in an American accent and it was not... er...)

[10littlebullets.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that and Jenny's fucking awesome and I'm so happy to have her back.

Haha, do you mean DYHTPS sounds wrong in American, or that JOJ's accent is funny?

[duva.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

Both? ;-) Actually it wasn't too bad in Show Boat but I wouldn't want him to do that same accent as Valjean!

John Owen-Jones, Judy Kuhn, Jenny Galloway --- the J's are rockin' the Les Mis world! Hell yes.

How long are the new people there for? 6 months, right?

The next five weeks are going to be a lot of fun. :D

May I steal your icon?

[mmejavert.livejournal.com]

Feel free. :D I made both of these and couldn't decide which I liked better so I uploaded both. Max & Minarik are so damn adorable.

I'm also excited about Leah Horowitz; from what I've heard, she's a lovely Cosette.

Isn't Jenny Galloway the one from the TAC? If so, WIN. Judy Kuhn was a great Cosette, but I'm reserving judgement on how she'll work as Fantine.

No idea about this Leah person, though.

Yep! And she was the original in the revival.

No idea about this Leah person, though.

She played Cosette at the Muny.

Pure WIN. JOJ, Judy, and Jenny Galloway...*dies*

[missscarlett.livejournal.com]

I missed out on Lea. I'll miss out on Judy. :-(

*kicks the big stupid ocean that seperates me from the NY revival*

At least I've been lucky enough to see JOJ in London multipule times. :-)

Leah Horowitz

Leah Horowitz is a wonderful Cosette I saw her at the MUNY. She can really sing, hits a very quiet high note, difficult to do, and her acting is good too.
