Around the country, PBS stations are airing a lot of quality programming…
And this Sunday is no exception! Coming soon to a PBS station near you…
The concert version of the 25th Anniversary of “Les Miserables.”
And as you know by now, this is my all-time favorite musical!

Filmed in London in December 2010, the concert was made to celebrate and
commemorate the 25th Anniversary of this wonderful musical. And if it’s
anything like the 10th Anniversary Concert… you’re going to love it. I have the
DVD of the 10th Anniversary & have watched it countless times at the studio!!!
While it’s not the entire theatrical performance or experience, it is an incredible
event that was celebrated at the 02 Arena in London and broadcast live in theaters
around the world. Or so they say… I never heard about it.

There is no set, and no choreography, but the actors will be in costume, and
in character, singing the most wonderful soundtrack ever. According to the reviews,
it sounds like a wonderful show. Possibly with the exception of choosing Nick Jonas
to play the role of “Marius”? At least we have musical legend, and former Miss Saigon,
Lea Salonga as “Fantine” to counter-balance one of the Jonah Brothers!

So check your local listings for a PBS station near you. You’ll love it.
In Chicago, the “Les Miz” concert will air this Sunday, March 6th at 6:00pm
and 10:00pm. Yes, that’s a 4-hour time-slot… which presumably means a lot
of fundraising breaks along the way!
