yet another captivating musical, bravo!

I finally made it to watch Les Mis at westend, and sure enough, with all the compliments ive heard about this well-loved musical, it didnt disappoint.

While the theatre is a tad small for my comfort, and the lack of over-the-top stage props and special effects, the casts didnt fail to deliver, and at the end of the show, one wont hesitate for future comebacks. It was that good.

I love the songs especially, powerful rendition by teen Cosette and teen Eponine (her rendition of 'On my own' was breathtaking), kudos also to Fantine and Marius. And as for Jean Valjean, i wasnt really that blown away by his performance.

Would also like to give credit to both the kids on stage, they were spectacular! Thénardier and Madame Thénardie did a superb job as comic relief, i love them to bits!

I must say that it was money well spent, and more les mis is to be expected!
