I will never ever forget the first time I saw the musical, not the full one, just a few excerpts and behind the scenes stuff, but enough to make me remember it all my life.
It was during our victory party after the very first Les Mis production in Cebu in March 1996. We were at the viewing room of the Abejuela's, a family so supportive of our production mainly because our Gavroche and our Young Cosette were from their family.
Mr. Abejuela showed us (it was in Laser Disc) Stage by Stage, the making of Les Mis, and I had goosebumps and tears all throughout the 2 hour special. I was 16 years old, just did a musical I wasn't familiar with, and here I am watching the same musical we just did, but done by the original cast. It was heaven for me.
And yes, until now I have a copy of Stage by Stage on my PC at home, and I've shown it to my cast as well.
