You and me too, c_t!
I'm thinking of going to the first showing on Friday morning as I reckon it may be quiet then even although I will need to (whisper!) p*y! :shifty: Friends want to go on Monday 14th and use the Showcase Insider cards so we will all just p*y £5 each but I don't think I can wait that long . . . . :rolleyes:

I gave my tickets for swiss cottage to my sister as couldn't make it.
She loved it. And although I've never seen the stage performance and I try not to read too much about films. I now know the whole story. Lol
she loved it best film she has seen apparently
Only thing she hasn't told me is there is funny Santa part?? Don't know what she is talking about but definately have to see this film.

Russell Crowe can sing, but he was struggling with the upper reach of the songs, but good with the lower regions that suit his voice. He was pretty menacing as well, in a subtle way.
He has his own rock band so does quite a bit of singing (front man/guitarist I think).

I once flew to San Francisco for a weekend to see Russell's band :oops:

I'll come with you if you need company o/

I loved the stage show, have seen it in several different sized theatres, but this was so epic, it can't help but overshadow the stage versions. Main diference for me was the stage obviously is smaller, and you focus on the voices first. the film is focusing on the acting up close and in your face. If the voices aren't as good, it didn't matter imo

I saw this at the free screening at Odeon Swiss Cottage iMAX - loved it especially the surprise of getting Tom Hooper and Eddie Redmayne turn up for the post-screening Q&A! :)

Can anybody do me a slight favour? There are tickets available for the new code at Greenwich Odeon showing of Les Mis on the 8th, and I'm trying to login to get the tickets but it keeps telling me my login is failing, but won't let me load to register a new account. Is SFF login applicable to Tellten login?

Otherwise, if someone who does have a Tellten login...I would love you to pieces if you could get 2 tickets for me!! It's available, and taunting me but the login page hates me. I'm dying to see this film!! x

I think you do have to register seperately from SFF, maybe you've registered in the past with a different password? Tell Ten used to be more active.

The Tellten page is totally misbehaving - but I did get some tickets after trying over and over!
