Les Miserables Review Crew Experience

Blog

Do you see the people Tweet?

We all know (or should know) the classic tale of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. A fugitive name Jean Valjean desperately tries to escape his criminal past, while fighting his way to keep undercover during a revolutionary period in France. The audience watches as lovers Cosette and Marius bloom their affection for one another, and Eponine struggles to keep her true feeling of love for Marius under wraps. It’s a classic tale, but for the 25th anniversary of the performance the AT&T Performing Arts Center here in Dallas is going social. The AT&T PAC and Winspear Opera House created the ‘Review Crew’ earlier this year and Jencey Hirunrusme has been at the helm since. Essentially I was chosen to be the Twitter face of the opera house during the Lexus Broadway Series performance of Les Misérables. For every show this season they will select 4 participants to fill this duty. So without further adieu, here is my experience!

After arriving to the Winspear Opera House for the opening night of Les Misérables, I met with Jencey from the AT&T PAC marketing team who brought the team of ‘tweeters’ into the house of the Winspear to take a behind the scenes look between Fantine and a working girl. How cool! Then we did our before show interviews. The before and after interviews are an integral part of the ‘Review Crew’ as it captured our true reaction and anticipation in regards to Les Miz. Jencey then swept us up to the “Tweet Suite”, a bird’s eye box suite with the best views of the action, where we had a chance to really get a feel for the house and stage. When the lights dimmed, our phones lit up. The ‘Review Crew’ used Twitter to live-tweet and reply to a flurry of incoming questions and reactions. It was like no other experience to be able to provide a play by play from song lyrics to our own personal opinions of the storyline and its characters. Other outside participants using our designated hash-tags craved up to the minute reports on how we thought the set looked, actors voices sounded and general thoughts on what we were seeing. It was incredible to see how the AT&T PAC is utilizing an amazing resource like social media. Now that was fine and dandy, but it got much better. During intermission, I was told that we had been given seats in the house…5th row orchestra seats. As we rushed down the beautifully constructed stairs of the Winspear in the spirit of Valjean, we found ourselves up close and personal to stage and when “Do you hear the people sing” was performed I found myself in awe with chills because of the beautiful acoustics that the Winspear provides.

My experience with the AT&T PAC ‘Review Crew’ was unbelievable. The classic tale of Les Mis has forever been captured on stage and also on Twitter. I encourage everyone to get out and see a show at the AT&T PAC soon! Just make sure you tweet about it! Thank you so much to Jencey, the AT&T PAC ‘Review Crew’ and Winspear Opera house for letting me tweet “One Day More”.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
