Marilyn Monroe, New York City, 6 mai 1957, Richard Avedon

Marilyn Monroe was born as Norma Jeane Baker Mortensen in 1926 in Los Angeles, California. Following an unstable childhood, growing up in orphanages and foster homes, she was spotted by the photographer, Andre De Dienes. From that young age she went on to became the icon we know today, creating a universal image while shaping the dream. From Marilyn Monroe’s famous subway grate photo to little-known shots, here are Artper’s picks of her top 10 portraits.

Marilyn Monroe by André de Dienes, 1946

In 1945, Norma Jeane signed her first contract as a model with photographer André De Dienes. After a successful first photo shoot, they continued their collaboration the following year, organizing a five-week shoot. These portraits were a resounding success, and were used on magazine covers all over the world. They mark a turning point in the life of Norma Jeane, who would now decide to call herself Marilyn Monroe.

Captured during the shooting of The Seven Year Itch, this famous shot has traveled the world. On a whim, Monroe’s photographer and friend Sam Shaw decided to use a subway grate to create this well-known shot. Laughing out loud, Marilyn is incredibly dynamic in this portrait. The story goes that a crowd of fans and photographers had gathered around her. The result was one of Marilyn Monroe’s most iconic photos.

B-3 : Oscars 2023 Predictions - A Film fan's perspective (Part - 1)

The 95th Academy Awards, a.k.a. The Oscars®, will take place on March 13 at 5:30 AM IST. The celebrations of the Oscar season are at their peak. Amid the fun and excitement, here's a look at the movies categories and our predictions of the winners:-

Best Picture

Nominations: 

All Quiet on the Western Front

Avatar: The Way of Water

The Banshees of Inisherin

Elvis

Everything Everywhere All at Once

The Fabelmans

TAR

Top Gun: Maverick

Triangle of Sadness

Women Talking

Prediction: The Fabelmans

The Academy might favor a movie that exhibits the love for cinema through the eyes of one of Hollywood's most-respected directors - Steven Spielberg. Either originally-written movies like Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Banshees of Inisherin can give tough competition.

Best Director

Nominees:

Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once

Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans

Todd Field, TÁR

Ruben Östlund, Triangle of Sadness

Prediction: Steven Spielberg

Spielberg would be the rightful winner for it. If it happens, he would be the third person to win three directing Oscars - after Frank Capra and William Wyler.

Best Original Screenplay

Nominees:

The Banshees of Inisherin – Martin McDonagh

Everything Everywhere All at Once – Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert

The Fabelmans – Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner

Tár – Todd Field

Triangle of Sadness – Ruben Östlund

Prediction: The Banshees of Inisherin/Everything Everywhere All At Once

Unlike the first two categories, the Daniels and Martin McDonagh would be fighting for this award. It's the fight between the battle of multiverses & the conflict between two friends.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Nominees:

All Quiet on the Western Front – Edward Berger, Lesley Paterson, and Ian Stokell (based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery – Rian Johnson; based on characters created by Johnson and the film Knives Out

Living – Kazuo Ishiguro (based on the original motion picture screenplay Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto, and Hideo Oguni)

Top Gun: Maverick – Screenplay by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie; Story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks; based on the film Top Gun written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr.

Women Talking – Sarah Polley (based on the novel by Miriam Toews)

Prediction: Women Talking

Women Talking would be the ideal winner for the film adaptation of the atrocities by men against women (inspired by the Manitoba Colony, a remote and isolated Mennonite community in Bolivia).

Best Actor

Nominees:

Austin Butler – Elvis as Elvis Presley

Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin as Pádraic Súilleabháin

Brendan Fraser – The Whale as Charlie

Paul Mescal – Aftersun as Calum Paterson

Bill Nighy – Living as Mr. Rodney Williams

Prediction: Austin Butler/Colin Farrell/Brendan Fraser

Fraser's portrayal of an obese, depressed man can bring the Academy in his favor. He would compete with Austin Butler's portrayal of the King of Rock n' Roll & Farrell's character of an Irishman betrayed by his best friend (both actors won this year's Golden Globes).

Best Actress

Nominees:

Cate Blanchett – Tár as Lydia Tár

Ana de Armas – Blonde as Norma Jeane Mortensen / Marilyn Monroe

Andrea Riseborough – To Leslie as Leslie Rowlands

Michelle Williams – The Fabelmans as Mitzi Schildkraut-Fabelman

Michelle Yeoh – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Evelyn Quan Wang

Prediction: Cate Blanchett/Michelle Yeoh

It'll be the fight between Blanchett's complex character of an orchestra conductor & Yeoh's role of a superwoman protecting the multiverse from her daughter.

Best Supporting Actor

Nominees:

Brendan Gleeson – The Banshees of Inisherin as Colm Doherty

Brian Tyree Henry – Causeway as James Aucoin

Judd Hirsch – The Fabelmans as Boris Schildkraut

Barry Keoghan – The Banshees of Inisherin as Dominic Kearney

Ke Huy Quan – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Waymond Wang

Prediction: Ke Huy Quan

This one's gonna go to Indiana Jones' sidekick - Short Round, i.e., Quan - for playing a kind and friendly person to his wife in different universes.

Best Supporting Actress

Nominees:

Angela Bassett – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as Queen Ramonda

Hong Chau – The Whale as Liz

Kerry Condon – The Banshees of Inisherin as Siobhán Súilleabháin

Jamie Lee Curtis – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Deirdre Beaubeirdre

Stephanie Hsu – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Joy Wang / Jobu Tupaki

Prediction: Angela Bassett

All hail the Queen Mother!!! Bassett's likely to take the trophy home for portraying the grieving mother of the late Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa.

[patwrites]

What I expected Blonde to be: an in-depth and introspective character study contrasting Norma Jean Mortensen, the real woman, with Marilyn Monroe, the public persona she so ardently performed for 17 years. A well-crafted biopic that ultimately honors a subject (aka the bare minimum) who tragically died far too soon.

What Blonde was: Erm…. Thaaaattttt

Like, going in I knew this was going to be fictionalized but holy heck. Andrew Dominick’s portrayal of this talented and tortured woman is Not It.

Like I didn’t see it but I read the summary and reviews and… no. Better ways to spend 166 minutes.

The only positive is that Ana de Armas deserves all the praise for her performance. She deserved a better script and a not-misogynistic director. She was exploited just as much as Marilyn.

06/19/1942, Los Angeles - Norma Jeane and Jim Dougherty wedding

On Friday, June 19, 1942, Norma Jeane Mortensen married Jim Dougherty. The wedding takes place in the Howell family home (Chester and Doris Howell), friends of Grace Goddard, at 432 South Bentley Avenue, Los Angeles. Norma Jeane just celebrated his 16th birthday (June 1) and James Dougherty is 21 years old. It was Grace Goddard who "arranged" this marriage in order to avoid to Norma Jeane the return to the orphanage; and Ana Lower organized the preparations, including sending the invitations and making the wedding dress.

An announcement of the wedding is also published in the local press, in the "Westwood Hills Press" newspaper, "social" section of the 19 June 1942 (the day of the wedding): "Norma Jeane Baker will marry James E Dougherty on Friday".

The ceremony begins at 8:30 p.m. and is orchestrated by the Reverend Benjamin Lingenfelder, belonging to the Church of Christian Science (including Gladys -the mother of Norma Jeane- and Norma Jeane). Few guests represent the family of Norma Jeane: indeed neither her former tutor Grace Goddard (left to live in Virginia), nor her half-sister Berniece (who lived in Kentucky), nor her mother Gladys (hospitalized) are not present. Only the Bolenders (host family of Norma Jeane when she was a child) and Ana Lower are there, Ana bringing Norma Jeane to the altar. The bride and groom's witnesses are: Marion Dougherty, Jim's brother; and Lorraine Allen, a classmate of Norma Jeane. And he's the nephew of Jim, Wesley (son of his sister Billie) bringing the wedding rings arranged on a cushion. The Howell daughters, twins Loralee and Doralee Howell are the "flower girls", these little bridesmaids holding the bouquets of flowers in front of the bride. A professional photographer is even hired: Axel Togg.

According to the marriage certificate, Norma Jeane filled out the form under the maiden name "Mortensen"; to "father's name", it indicates "E. Mortensen" and "unknown" for father's birthplace; at "mother's name", she first writes a question mark then the inscription "unknown" followed by "Monroe" and "Oregon" for place of birth. As for James Edward Dougherty, his parents Edward and Ethel were both born in Colorado.

The wedding dress worn by Norma Jeane was made by "aunt" Ana Lower: with a wide rounded collar, allowing a deep neckline but wise so that the bride can wear a large necklace of white pearls around her neck; the long sleeves are made of a transparent veil, the rest of the dress is lined with lace fabric; she also wears a transparent veil over her head. Norma Jeane would wear the dress again for a photo shoot (during her younger modeling years) on March 23, 1946, photographed in the studio by Richard C Miller (but she will borrow the missal from the photographer's wife) and one of whose photographs will be on the cover of Personal magazine Romance of June 1947.

When Norma Jeane becomes the star Marilyn Monroe, it seems that she saved her dress to give it to her niece, Mona Rae Miracle (the daughter of her half-sister Berniece Baker) who will tell of having had it as a gift for her 14th birthday (in 1952): “Marilyn was thrilled when I wore her 1942 wedding dress for my first date at fourteen, a formal dance. Marilyn had worn it to sixteen years for her marriage to Jim Dougherty and another time for a cover photo for Personal Romances. "Your first date", said Marilyn. "Wow, what a landmark!" Then we carefully wrapped the dress in fabric and thought about the changes that are coming."

The dress was sold at auction in March 2001 by Sotheby's, which offered the personal effects belonging to Berniece and Mona Rae Miracle; the starting price was between 60,000 and 80,000 Dollars.

The Remade in Misery Tour PT 2 feat Memphis May Fire, Norma Jean, SECRETS, and SAUL

Back on May 2022, Memphis May Fire announced that they would be going on The Remade in Misery Tour with support from Ashes to New, Rain City Drive, and Wolves at The Gate. I was super excited to hear that the band would be dropping a new album before they had even started the first leg of this tour. This tour is actually named after their latest album Remade In Misery. I was initially bummed that, there wasn’t a date coming to a city near me. But earlier this year that all changed when they announced that they would be doing a second leg of this tour with support from Norma Jean, SECRETS and SAUL. One of the stops happened to be at The L, located in Horseheads New York. The last time we got to cover Memphis May Fire was at Vans Warped Tour in 2017. I cannot wait to see what these bands have in store for the fans during the second leg of the tour.

Saul is an American rock band from Iowa, they formed back in 2007. The band was initially started by two brothers Blake and Zach Bedsaul, originally called Sequoia which was just a cover band. Saul has 3 EPs and 2 Studio Albums. The band teased the release of their latest album by dropping a single called “A Million Miles”. Keep an eye out for some new music. This Is It...The End of Everything is their new album which drops July 28th. Saul also gained popularity in 2019 on SXM Octane which features their song “Brother”, which talks about the loss of a brother and the coping process. The band also collaborated with David Draiman on their song “King Of Misery.” I had never heard of Saul before this show. I’m glad that we were able to catch their set. I’ll be adding some of their songs to my playlists.

Secrets is a post-hardcore band that formed in California back in 2010; they also went through quite a few band members. The band started out their career strong, within a year of being formed the band was signed to Rise Records. Two of their albums The Ascent & Fragile Figures hit the top 200 Billboard Charts. The current lineup comprises of Richard Rogers, Wade Walters, Connor Branigan, and Connor Allen. To date, they have released 5 studio albums and 1 EP. Their latest album The Collapse covers topics on anxiety, depression, hope, and loss. This album was written pre-pandemic and also during the pandemic. The song "Fade Away" focuses on losing a loved one and pays tribute to Aaron Melzer. When the band stepped foot on stage, I got super excited and was ready for their performance to rock the house.

Norma Jean is a metalcore band from Georgia. The band has gone through numerous line-up changes since the band formed back in 1997 under the name Luti-Kriss, currently, there isn’t a single original member in the band. But that didn’t stop Norma Jean from dropping nine studio albums and receiving a Grammy Award nomination in 2006 for their second album O' God, the Aftermath. A remarkable fact about Norma Jean is that the band’s name actually originates from Marilyn Monroe since her real name was Norma Jeane Mortensen. In an interview with previous drummer Daniel Davidson, he stated that they also decided on that name because they “were looking at a book” and saw that “Norma meant pattern and Jean meant God's grace and mercy” So when you put it all together it creates, patterns of grace and mercy. When it was their time to perform, the crowd went wild. The band played a variety of songs, old songs like “I Used to Hate Cell Phones But Now I Hate Car Accidents” and newer songs off their record Deathrattle Sing For Me which was released last year. The fans kept crowd surfing back to back, eventually, the band wanted to step it up a notch, having fans open up a giant circle pit. Cory Brandan (lead singer) jumped off the stage onto the barricades at one point to get closer to the fans and sing their songs together. I absolutely loved their stage presence; each member used every ounce of their being to make sure this was an amazing performance during this tour stop.

Memphis May Fire is an American metalcore band that formed in Texas back in 2006. Since its formation, the band has released two EPs and seven full-length albums, the latest being Remade In Misery which was released in June 2022. The band has had some awesome accomplishments in their career. The band was nominated for the Artist Philanthropic Award in 2014, they also had their song “Ghost In The Mirror” from the album Sleepwalking in Saw VI. The current members are Kellen McGregor, Matty Mullins, Cory Elder, and Jake Garland. Before Memphis May Fire even set foot on the stage, you could feel that the energy in the air was even more special. It was extra special because it was also Matty Mullins’ birthday. Between songs, he said to the fans that they had set the bar high for the rest of this tour and that got the crowd even more excited for the rest of their performance. Before the other photographers and I were able to leave the pit, there was a crazy amount of crowd surfers showing out all their love for Memphis May Fire. The band also played a wide variety of songs ranging from their album The Hollow to their most recent album Remade In Misery.

Setlist:

“Blood & Water”

“Left for Dead”

“Bleed Me Dry”

“Somebody”

“The American Dream”

“Alive in the Lights”

“Heavy Is the Weight”

“Miles Away”

“Vices”

“Make Believe”

“Misery”

“The Old Me”

“Prove Me Right”

Encore:

“The Fight Within”

“The Sinner”

Why did Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller Divorce? The Truth Behind Their Separation

Why did Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller Divorce? The Truth Behind Their Separation

With Netflix’s biopic on the real life of the legendary Marilyn Monroe, the world got to know more about the sad life of the beauty. Ana de Armas totally aced the role of Marilyn Monroe on screen and showed the journey from Monroe’s childhood to the time of her death beautifully. Originally named Norma Jeane Mortensen, Marilyn Monroe became the stage name by which the world knows her. The film…

How Tall Was Marilyn Monroe? When Did She Success In Her Career?

How Tall Was Marilyn Monroe? When Did She Success In Her Career?

On June 1st, 1926, Norma Jeane Mortenson gave birth to Marilyn Monroe in Los Angeles, California. Marilyn didn’t learn that she had a half-sister until she was 12 years old; her half-brother passed away in 1933. Gladys Pearl Baker, Marilyn’s mother, had two children before divorcing her abusive husband (who eventually abducted the children). Although Gladys put Mortensen’s name on Monroe’s birth…

"Sempre me senti uma não-pessoa, e a única maneira de ser alguém foi provavelmente ser alguém diferente. Foi por isso que eu quis representar e ser atriz. Tento me tornar uma atriz tento ser verdadeira, mas freqüentemente as janelas se abrem, sem eu querer, para o vazio. Tenho medo de ficar louca. Tento pôr para fora o que há de verdadeiro em mim, mas é muito difícil. Às vezes, penso que tudo o que tenho a fazer é ser verdadeira. Mas isso não vem assim, e eu me digo que sou uma falsária, alguém que soa falso. Desejo fazer o possível desde o instante em que a câmera é acionada até aquele em que pára. Nesse momento, quero ser perfeita. Lee – o professor Lee Strasberg, do Actors Studio – diz que tenho que ser eu mesma. Eu lhe respondo: eu mesma? O que é eu mesma? Quem? Não sou tão importante. Quem ele acha que sou: Marilyn Monroe?"

Hm.

So with Elliot Page coming out as transgender, I’ve just realized there’s something in our modern age I’m not sure anybody has discussed or thought about. Or if they have, I haven’t seen it.

What is the appropriate handling of the deadname of a public figure on Wikipedia?

I know that sounds bizarre, but bear with me. Check it:

[Image description: a screenshot of Marilyn Monroe’s Wikipedia page. The portion relevant to this conversation has been circled in red, and reads “Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortensen.” End description.]

When someone changes their name or uses a stage name for their work, their birth name is noted. This is considered basic biographical information. But with transgender folks, the going wisdom is that you should never mention their deadname. It’s rude. And speaking as a genderqueer person? Yeah, I’m uncomfortable when someone could use my name (Nina, short for Ninalyn) but uses my deadname instead.

What’s the protocol here?

But I’m far from a public figure. I have no idea how I’d feel about having my name listed because I was so famous that someone might someday write a book about me.

... And Norma Jeane Mortensen was born on June the 1st. 1926.

The much-talked about production did not disappoint; the modernized visuals create many new layers to the show, and make you think about events and characters in a whole new way. Nehal, Allison, Justin, and Christia were probably my favorites, but the entire cast is so talented, it’s difficult to choose any as standouts. A very nice capture overall. There are a couple quick dropouts in act one, but no major blackouts. There is one head that can be seen occasionally, but it only blocks a small portion of the stage and only affects the action for about 20-30 seconds of the entire show. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as usual. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

Widescreen. Cleaned up nicely in remastering. And it has Sarich. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - May 12, 2007 (Matinee) (jstarz's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Drew Sarich (u/s Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Mandy Bruno (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier), Stephen Trafton (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Filmed in widescreen (though encoded in 4:3, so there are bars at the top and bottom of the screen), this is a nice capture of some of the new cast members. Drew and Ann give great performances in their roles. The second disc also includes the first 15 minutes of the February 24, 2007 Evening show, filmed from the rear right orchestra. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - June 1, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Ben Davis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Marissa McGowan (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - August 24, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Drew Sarich (Jean Valjean), Robert Hunt (Javert), Nikki Renée Daniels (u/s Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Megan McGinnis (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Chip Zien (Thénardier), Becca Ayers (u/s Madame Thénardier), Brian D'Addario (Gavroche) NOTES: Some nice closeups/mediums. A nice capture of the new cast. Capture can be dark at times, but mostly in the darker scenes. Includes a technical difficulty when the Barricades first come out, the show is stopped and includes the announcement..

Juni's master filmed in widescreen and can be a little shakey at times in tight zooms. Nice to see the audience version compared to the Proshot one. A- Les Misérables - Japan - 1997

Les Misérables - Paris - 1991 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Robert Marien (Jean Valjean), Patrick Rocca (Javert), Marie Zamora (Cosette), Jérôme Pradon (Marius), Stéphanie Martin (Éponine), Julien Combey (Enjolras), Laurent Gendron (Thénardier), Marie-France Roussel (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Act 1 + finale of act 2. This is 100% NOT Louise Pitre playing Fantine Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 1, 2014 (Preview) (Highlights) (where is your red schaaaf's master) FORMAT:  MOV (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Gaten Matarazzo (Gavroche) NOTES: First preview. It includes most of the show. Loud excited audience. Blind shot from stage right third row, with no zooms. Keala Settle sprained her ankle at some point between The Robbery and One Day More, resulting in her not being in One Day More and using a cane during Wedding Chorale/Beggars at the Feast. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 8, 2014 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche) NOTES: Audience was full of excitement!

It’s refreshing to see different faces in the lead roles, and both Nathaniel and Earl carry the show well. Nathaniel’s vocals are powerful and he has a great rapport with Caissie and Samantha. A lovely capture overall with no obstruction. Look Down is mostly blacked out and there are a couple quick dropouts during The Bishop scene and Lovely Ladies, but the show is otherwise fully intact. There is also some washout in high contrast wide shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

First time in history two same productions of a major musical played in the same city. Les Misérables - West End - May 9, 1987 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Martin Smith (u/s Jean Valjean), Clive Carter (Javert), Kathleen Rowe McAllen (Fantine), Jacinta Mulcahy (Cosette), Maurice Clarke (u/s Marius), Jayne Draper (Éponine), Martin George (Enjolras), David Delve (Thénardier), Myra Sand (Madame Thénardier), Cameron Stewart (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Commonly mistaken as December 28, 1988! Martin Smith was part of the West End cast for 6 months starting December 1986, and the non-circulated first-generation DVD labels the date as 1987/05/09. Les Misérables - West End - December 28, 1991 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Stig Rossen (Jean Valjean), Paul Leonard (Javert), Jenna Russell (Fantine), Sarah Jane Hassell (Cosette), Daryll Winslow (Marius), Meredith Braun (Éponine), Mike Sterling (u/s Enjolras), David Hampshire (u/s The Bishop), Amanda Dainty (u/s Factory Girl) NOTES: Black and white.

(Proof: https://youtu.be/KI_KHnLwk_k) Les Misérables - West End - May 6, 2006 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Tim Godwin (u/s Jean Valjean), Cornell John (Javert), Kerry Ellis (Fantine), Julia Möller (Cosette), Hayden Tee (Marius), AJ Callaghan (u/s Éponine), Nolan Dark (u/s Enjolras), Barry James (Thénardier), Tracie Bennett (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Taper’s comments: Amanda and Nolan are better than the principles and Tim sounds uncannily like JOJ (Home Counties accent not-withstanding). He first understudied in 1999, when JOJ was the principal, which may explain the similarity. About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as of Fantine during Lovely Ladies. Wonderful performances from the entire cast but especially then soon-to-be-Elphaba Kerry Ellis. Les Misérables - West End - September 19, 2013 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), James Gant (u/s Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Ilan Galkoff (Gavroche), Caoimhe Judd (Little Cosette) Les Misérables - West End - June 14, 2014 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), Tam Mutu (Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Dougie Carter (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Carl Mullaney (Grantaire) NOTES: Final performance of the 2013/14 cast Les Misérables - West End - July 9, 2015 (Highlights) (musicalmania123's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Peter Lockyer (Jean Valjean), Jeremy Secomb (Javert), Rachelle Ann Go (Fantine), Zoe Doano (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Bradley Jaden (Enjolras), Phil Daniels (Thénardier), Katy Secombe (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Highlights only.
