Have you ever heard or listened to this musical?It was one of my favorite musicals growing up, my ma would put the CDs on repeat and I practically have most of it memorized. The conflict between Jean valJean and Javert is too good, and all of it got engrained into my system.juden41
I've seen it several times. The first time was on Broadway in the Summer of 1991. I then saw it again in Houston, Texas sometime around 1999-2001. Later I saw it at the London West End in the February of 2002. Finally, I took my niece to see it for her 11th Birthday in Roanoke, Virginia circa 2003.
So yes, I've seen it many times. I also keep several recordings of it, my favorite being the concert performance from London in the 1990s.
Have you heard it, do you like it?juden41
I love the book (though it's a marathon read), so I expected to love the musical. And I did -- let's just say that I am "less miserable" for having seen so many times.
I was actually surprised by how much of the book they were able to capture in the musical, given that some movie versions are more abbreviated.
I have the book. I want to read it soon. Never seen the opera.Theokhoth
Heh, well if you are referring to the musical, it's not an opera, at least by this opera fan's rather strict standards. It's a pretty darn good musical though.
