message: I'm thinking that we need to source the vocal ranges for the various characters.  As in, a published source says "Cosette is a Mezzo", not using the vocal score and judgment.  Or, we need to get rid of them entirely.  To my knowledge, this is the only article that gives them.  —  MusicMaker5376 15:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The opera articles all give vocal ranges, and many of the musicals that are on the opera/operetta line give vocal ranges.  I agree that it would be better if one could say that the vocal range info comes from a particular published source, but I don't see what harm they are doing in this article.  I think that what is currently given in the article is pretty close to right, although Marius is usually played by a tenor, and Eponine is probably a mezzo rather than an alto (there aren't many true altos in musical theatre - especially not young characters).  Does Ganzl give the vocal ranges for this show?  Does the score itself specify?  Sometimes the "audition" websites specify vocal ranges, so it may be available online.  Best regards, -- Ssilvers 23:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not saying I think they should be removed, but MT ranges aren't as cut-and-dried as opera ranges.  If you go through the recent edits, you'll see that an alarming percentage of them are regarding the voice parts.  (As in, "I'm an Alto, I sing 'I Dreamed a Dream', ergo Eponine is an Alto.")  I'm not sure about Ganzl, and I wouldn't think that the score would specify (in my experience as an MD, few of them do...).  It might, but I don't think we could access the actual score as opposed to the Student version.  I think the audition websites would be someone's opinion, as well.  MTI gives the actual ranges (i.e. C-sharp to A-flat).  Maybe we should use them?  But, really, they only apply to the Student version.  I think (at least) "Bring Him Home" is transposed for the student version.  Shouldn't these ranges be for the actual show?  —  MusicMaker5376 23:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've found a source for the vocal ranges.  It's not the best source, but it's the same one used on Wicked, a GA.  Please do not change the vocal ranges without a valid citation; they will be reverted.  —  MusicMaker5376 13:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what, if anything, would be a good source, but the one currently cited certainly isn't. It is utter nonsense to call Marius a tenor and Enjolras a baritone; the latter's singing lies considerably higher than the former. Eponine and Fantine are both altos: they generally sing low and both have to sing a very audible low F, a low note even for an alto. I quite understand that I can't put this in without a decent citation, but if, as seems very likely, there isn't one, shouldn't we just get rid of the range bit altogether?

message: I'm not sure I understand another removal of my material from this page.  I added information about the world renowned return of Colm Wilkinson who returned to the role of Valjean after a decade.  The information was removed because it wasn't "neutral".  I don't see how that makes any sense.  I never said he was the best or worst.  Whether you prefer Wilkinson in the role or not, it was a big deal to many Les Miz fans, and was a milestone for the show and the man who originated the role in London and on Broadway.  It is a further research fact for those looking for information on the evolution of the show.  People came from all over the world and sold out tickets in ten minutes.  How is that not worth mentioning?
Second, references to the additional material on the London (but no subsequent) recordings written by James Fenton was deleted.  Again, with the removal of factual, credible information for readers.  I've read the policy and I still don't understand how this information is inadmissible.

message: In the novel, Gavroche is the Thernadiers' son...but I think in the musical that is not said, and that his lines seem to indicate otherwise (e.g. "Watch out for old Thenardier, All of his family's on the make, Once ran a hash-house down the way, Bit of a swine and no mistake, He's got a gang, The bleeding layabout, Even his daughter does her share, That's Eponine, she knows her way about, Only a kid, but hard to scare.")  I don't remember a part in the musical where he is revealed as Eponine's brother -- that's certainly true in the novel, but I don't remember it being in the musical.  (She dies during the song "A Little Fall of Rain," if that helps.)  So I think the edits on this issue are right as to the book...but that they maybe don't really apply to the musical.

message: I made some minor edits earlier this week, mostly adding information on the original French production. I realized, after looking it over, that this only made the article longer. I will edit out some of the detailed info I previously added and try to make it as succinct as possible.
I am currently working on a major edit of the international productions section. That section, as it stands now, is a pain to read in all its disjointedness. I am listing productions by year and including theater the show played in, opening/closing dates, and any notable points related to the production. I will incorporate some of the info already there into this section as well. It will (hopefully) be a much neater, easier to read, comprehensive listing of worldwide productions.
Also, I see a great deal of space is taken up by one element that I feel is unnecessary--casting information. Lists of the original London/Broadway casts is one thing but must we list their replacements? The section about the Broadway revival reads more like a detailed cast list rather than production history. I will delete cast members who were not part of the original revival cast, with the exception of Lea Salonga and any other notable performers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by M.

message: In the second paragraph of the Synopsys, act 1, it says, "Unbeknownst to Valjean, the factory foreman lusts after Fantine, and when she rejects his advances, he takes it out on the other workers, who resent her for it." I believe that 'resent' should be 'resents' for grammatical purposes. Jonny Peverell (talk) 21:55, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: I believe "who" in that sentence refers to "the other workers", and as that is plural I believe "resent" is the correct conjugation. If you disagree just explain your reasoning and I'll reconsider. Pishcal (talk) 23:06, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello, I'm Rebestalic.
The "Emblem" section of the article states that "It appeared in several of the novel's earliest French-language editions." I believe the word "novel" might be a mistake; is it supposed to be "musical"?
Thank you,

replies: text: I disagree. The credits for the infobox should only include credits for the original production, not for the translation of the original production. Other credits are already included in the lead where more context can be given. The extra parenthetical descriptors are an indication that we are trying to put too much detail into the infobox.
