It's based on a book by Victor Hugo, and has a pretty involved plot, with lots of characters. - Roger More May 30, 08:42
It's really a great musical, but the history is awful. It's like a Disneyfied French Revolution. -- nm - Inigo May 30, 08:40
Hathaway is a fantastic choice for her role as is Jackman. Not so sure about Crowe playing the officer. -- nm - Jim May 30, 08:35 2
- Sasha Baren Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter should be great fun as the Thenadiers. -- nm - Inigo May 30, 08:51
- I can see Crowe fitting the role. He seems like a straight-line black-and-white thinker like Javert. -- nm - Roger More May 30, 08:48
plot spoils - Jim May 30, 08:34 5
- Jean Valjean is my favorite porn actors name - I must see this -- nm - Epiphany May 30, 08:51
- of note, it's a different French Revolution that the one most people think it is -- nm - znufrii May 30, 08:41 2
  - It wasn't really a revolution, because it didn't succeed. -- nm - Roger More May 30, 08:44
  - Yes, it's the June Rebellion actually. A student uprising of sorts. My bad. -- nm - Jim May 30, 08:44
- thats pretty good summary -- nm - Capstern May 30, 08:35
Pip its very very good - I have seen it 3x. Good songs... - Capstern May 30, 08:34 2
- If you end up liking it you will also like Fiddler and Notre Dame De Paris -- nm - Capstern May 30, 08:35 1
  - one step at a time - I am a known musical hater - I hated Chicago except for a few numbers. - Epiphany May 30, 08:52
a bunch of french dudes mope around and act all sad and stuff -- nm - decline May 30, 08:31
