I went to Les Miserables 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??
The show was being viewed at the The Palace Theatre. We took our seats for a film that was going to last almost 3 hours! The film is about the French revolution, love and bravery.
Jean Valjean, a thief imprisoned for almost 20 years tries rebuilding his life and and regaining respect. However upon leaving prison, he meets "Javert" who is keen to put Valjean back into his old life.
Several people around me were very emotionally involved myself included (especially when Epinene died). The theatre was very intimate and it done Les Miserables proud!
The part of Jean Valjean was played excellently and his act was both stunning and earth-moving. I don't think you can single out any particular individual for an outstanding performance as they were all solid and moving performances.
Javert had a superb voice and gave a great performance. The whole production and set made Les Miserables a wonderful piece of musical theatre and a great day out.
Brilliant musical - brilliant acts and a brilliant film.
Definitely value for money - buy your Tickets Now!!!

I would like to see some mention of the cast itself, most particularly who played who. Also I wonder if this is supposedly a film or a live stage performance you're referring to... that left me a little in the shade... But hey, welcome to Ciao!!!... Berli
