One of the highlights of our time in Ca has been attending the long awaited production of Les Mis in Hollister.
This was a family affair and all of the Oelrichs were a part of the show. How cute are my nephews?! Parker made a great soldier, and Tyler and Steven ran about with Gavroche. These. kids. can. sing.
My brother in law, Josh, was a perfect Javert and obviously stole the show. I think this must be most difficult role to play, because you have to make everyone hate you in the beginning and convince the audience to experience a change of heart by the end. Beautifully done, and beautiful voice, Josh! Stars was breathtaking.
And the one who made it all happen, my sister Amy. Amy was the musical director of the show. Her work is always amazing but it was quite an experience to watch her conduct a 16 piece orchestra through for 3 hours. Every note that was sung of the 400 page script was coached by my talented and dedicated sister. She put months of hard work into making this musical a success and it was a work of fine art. A masterpiece.
I really wish I had thought to sneak a pic of the whole cast. Thenardiers were cast perfectly, and Eponine, young Cosette, and Marius were all favorites of mine, too. Amy put together an ensemble full of talent and a high quality production. I am SO happy we planned our trip in July so we could be here to see it. I am proud of you Amy. We loved the play.
Five Stars, sister.
