Advantages: Great songs, great scenes Disadvantages: Takes too long to get served at the bar
...I must have been to see LesMiserable at least 9 times and cannot rate it highly enough. The first time we saw it we had front stall seats, which actually cost around £50.00 at that time, and Colm Wilkinson was playing the lead (Jean Valjean).
Jean Valjean was put into prison for stealing bread for his sister's starving child and the show opens with the prison scene. Javert is one of the prison officers who is determined that Valjean will return as his take on life is "once a thief, always a thief".
Jean Valjean is also determined that he will never return to prison and will make his way in life. However he is treated as an ex-con by everyone he comes into contact with, except for a local priest, who gives him a bed for the night. Jean Valjean decides to leave the priest's house in the early morning, taking with him...

...I went to LesMiserables last year and can say without doubt in my opinion, this is the most wonderful musical I have heard of. I am basing that on the fact that this was a full house matinee performance which included stunning acts and sets.
I had never seen this show prior to going but having previously heard songs from it, I had already began to fall in love with it. We had wonderful seats in the middle of the dress circle (which cost in the region of £40 each for the two of us, a total of £80. Prior to the film starting we sat down and also had a couple of wine spritzers which cost in the region of £5 each - I wondered if this was going to be value for money??

Advantages: Emotive, expressive story based in France during the Revolution Disadvantages: None
...CD REVIEW:
This CD performance captures many emotions, and in the wonderful music composed by Claude-Michel Schonberg expresses the nature of the French Revolution very effectively.
Their are 2 CD's provided with this album. The tracks are thought provoking and musically complex.
The confrontation between Val Jean and Javert (Disc 1) brings melodic call and response between the two characters - a concept revisited throughout the performance.
Thenardier (Played by Barry James) is fantastic throughout - peforming Master of the House, and Beggar of the Feast. He is the comical character of LesMiserables, and bound to produce a few smiles when listening to this CD.
The story is seperated into the following tracks on the CD:
1. Prologue
2. Valjean's Soliloquy
3. Empty Chairs At Empty Tables
4. Every Day
5. At The End...
