We'll see whether Michael Maguire grows on me or not, then, when I listen to the OBC!

I too will be curious to see what I think of the PRC Thenardier, then. It's just too bad that I don't actually know much in the way of French.... OH WELL.

If you do figure out which version has the sad verse of Lovely Ladies, do let me know -- I'm very curious now. And I'm glad to hear it's not just all in my head and the orchestration IS actually different!

I think I want to see a standard staging of the musical before watching the TAC? I've never actually seen the stage musical in any form before!
