36. The Cup | Les Misérables Concerts (PART 1)

Welcome back to the 36th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. The theatres may be closed, but art finds a way to survive! For the time being on this podcast we are rereleasing our past reviews, interviews, roundtables, and duet reviews in remastered audio only versions so you can take your CoH content on the go! For our 36th episode we continue to branch out our review series beyond the Stratford Festival and onto other productions. In this Duet Review enjoy an in-depth discussion of the three concert renditions of Les Misérables: The 10th Anniversary “Dream Cast” (1995), the 25th Anniversary (2010), and the most recent Staged Concert (2019). Join Mackenzie Horner and Jillian Robinson, as they flex their musical theatre bona fides while comparing and contrasting these three versions. This episode is part one of a two-part discussion of these concerts; stay tuned for part two, next week. Cup of Hemlock Theatre is a Toronto-based performing arts collective dedicated to staging works that examine the moral quandaries of the human experience. With an inquisitive compass, we aim to provide audiences the space to retrace their personal stories and navigate their individual ideologies.
