In Vancouver, the Arts Club theatre is about to open a production of Les Miserables on May 14. And since Boyle's video started being emailed around, they've seen ticket sales for the show double. Yes, double.

The Arts Club box office staff started to notice sales something was up on Wednesday. According to spokesperson Nicole McLuckie, "Tuesday was up about 40%. Wednesday was up by about 115%. And yesterday it was about about 250%."

1. That's good.. maybe a little revolution would be good for the spirit of the world.

I'm so glad she decided to showcase a song from Les Mis. I swear, I'm about to hunt down my old collection. that was one of my fav's I used to play non-stop when I was 17. Everyone thought I was crazy to have fallen in love with little Cossete.
