Yes, a couple more thoughts

Somehow, I forgot a few quick things in my last post about Les Mis. (You wouldn't think that possible from the length, right?)
  • Would it really be that hard to give Eponine pants for the second act? It's hard to buy people calling her "boy" when she's wearing a skirt.
  • I saw this with a friend who didn't know the show, and only knew the "One Day More" and "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from the Obama videos. She really enjoyed it.
  • When you're sitting that close, it's kind of intimidating to have actors about a foot away from you singing "At the End of the Day" and "Look Down."
  • There was a minor technical problem (some of the mics stopped working) in the middle of Act Two, but it was handled very smoothly. Of course, given the small space, this isn't a huge surprise. But well done to the actors.

I think that's it. For now.
