Les Miserables

About fifteen years ago my wife, another couple, and I went to see Les Miserables performed at Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh. It was great and I got hooks. I own the soundtrack and have the 25th anniversary concert. I've often wondered when or if it would ever find it may to film. It did, and it was every bit as good as the stage musical it was based on. All the actors are top notch. I was worried whether Hugh Jackman or Anne Hathaway could handle the singing chores and I shouldn't have. Russell Crowe's voice talents on the other hand are merely adequate. Don't let that stop you. It was well worth spending the bucks to go see it in the theater. In a week or two I'll probably do it again.
