I’m admittedly a huge “Les Miserables” fan; have been since it came onto the Broadway scene in the late ’80s. I’m also a huge reality TV fan, er junkie, so when I heard a recommendation at PRSA’s St. Louis chapter meeting yesterday to watch Susan Boyle, I jumped at the chance. What an amazing example of what reality TV can now do for a reputation! Seriously! She’s being considered for a performance for the queen.

And you thought reality TV stars would never amount to anything.
