The holiday season is upon
us, and like many other musical theater lovers, I’m really looking forward to
the film version of Les Misérables,
out in theaters on Christmas Day. I haven’t actually seen the show, but I think
the plot and the music are so iconic that most theater lovers seem to know
them. The star-studded cast, including Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell
Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, and Helena Bonham Carter, are sure to make the movie
fantastic.
In honor of the upcoming
release, this really cool YouTube video has gone viral, and I can’t wait to
share it with you. This past May, a Danish couple was treated to the ultimate
musical theater wedding gift: A flash mob of their family and friends singing
“One Day More,” one of the show’s most famous songs. It’s a great way to pay
tribute to a couple that loves theater as much as I do.
One of the best parts of my
experience at Fordham was being a part of the Mimes and Mummers, and maybe
we’ll do something like this at one of our weddings!
