The shadows of a television camera operator and stage crew member are cast onto the stage set of Les Miserables, which was loaded into the Centennial Concert Hall today. Crews worked quickly to have everything ready for tonight's opening show at 8 p.m. Eighty local stage hands took part to move and install the more than 5,000 costume pieces, 5,000 props and over 55,000 pounds of scenery from nine semi-trailers. Les Mis will be in Winnipeg from July 23-28. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. (JESSICA BURTNICK/WINNIPEG FREE PRESS)
