I'm playing Javert in Les Mis the next two weekends.
Nov 8, 9, 10 and 15, 16, 17 If you are in the Chicago area come see this amazing piece of theatre magic. Here's a promo video I made to give you a two minute taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tkj_SSeOEw With Many Thanks, Tim Hannig 2012 1st Place and People's Choice Award Winner Chicago Magic Competition http://pkshow.com/

Dude, that's awesome! Les Mis is by far my favorite book, musical, and movie! Javert is such a powerful character and his solo moments are epic. Good luck, break a leg!

Maybe one day I can play Valjean to your Javert!
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Congratulations!

Break a leg! Javert is a tough part to play well, to convey the necessary amount of sympathy for a man who simply can't accept grace when it is offered.
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

Congratulations and break a leg! Absolutely my favorite musical by far. Wish I could be there.

Thanks for all your support, guys.
You know, it's kind of funny. Back in January I made this video of myself singing STARS at my computer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rIRhkl7G0k In that video, I say, "Someday I'd like to play Javert." I had no idea that my dream would come true in only 10 months. I auditioned right before Magic Live, and the cast list was announced the first night of the convention. My friend just could not understand why I kept checking my phone at Magic Live to see if the list was posted, but I was so nervous. LOL

Cool! Good luck. I like musicals - and magic.
The Magic Circle did the Tempest years ago which was cool.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Now, I can say that I know at least one Miserable person.
Enjoy the run guy! Can you hook a Brother up with some free tickets? |

Don't know what to say...I am in aw... Sooooo Happy for you! A dream that came true!
Be proud of that gift. It is so enjoyable listening to you sing and the other videos too. Maybe in my next life I will be given the ability to sing and perform like this.

Thanks Dennis.
I've only been doing theater since 2010 (Every show I've been in I've done with at least one of my kids), so it's really a dream come true. I think it helps make my own magic shows better, too.

Four standing ovations!
Here's one comment I saw someone leave on Facebook: "We saw it last night and it could not have been any better. It was Broadway New York quality. We were amazed. It even made us cry at the end. If you haven't seen it, I heard that tickets are still available for next weekend. Lincoln Cultural Center in Kankakee, IL." One weekend down, one to go!

Here's a video that was shot from the wings during our final Les Mis performance.

Congratulations, Tim! You deserve this success.
That said, I absolutely LOATHE the composer, and actually walked out of a Broadway performance of the first production of Les Mis! So in that respect, you have my sympathy! |
