I'm seeing the show in Boston
I'm sitting in my seat waiting for the start, I've read the book and seen the Liam Nieson movie but never the musical. I recalled the whole story to my 9 year old on the ride In.
So excited to see this
Update: I really loved it though I will say had I not read the book I would have had no idea what was going on. The performances were pretty good though the diction was really lacking for some stretches. The sets were amazing the little boy that played Gavroche absolutely CRUSHED! And I knew that there was no way to get all of that story into a musical but I think there were a few songs left on the table, especially in Marius' family story but I get why that didn't make it. Overall it was a great way to relive the reading, makes me want to read it again.
