Les Miserables

This saturday we went to see the musical Les Miz. I had set my expectations low knowing it was a 1500 page novel by Victor Hugo being rendered into a 3 hour musical. Having read the english translation of the novel which goes into intricate details of the pain and suffering of the bourgeois leading on to the French revolution in the 18th century, I wondered if this musical would do any justice to it. But I saw amazed me beyond words. I have to say, this is by far the best musical I have seen. The outstanding performances by the cast, the melodious vocals, heart warming music by the orchestra and the extravagant sets made this a memorable experience. It is no wonder that the show has stood the test of time by running successfully for over 18 years now. Music lovers, don't miss this extravaganza!
