So I watched the musical Les Miserables, a few months ago, and while I did love the movie overall, I noticed there were characters that I absolutely adored, and others I just hated, and some that were just meh.

Keep in mind I have not read the novel, so beer with me!


8. Cosette




I honestly adored her when she was a child, but I hated adult her. She was super boring, a Mary Sue, annoying and an globaal, algemene bad character! For one, her relationship with Marius annoys me and comes out of nowhere. Another thing I dislike about her is that she leaves the Thenaiders, but she just acts like it never...

What do we love Les Mis for? Well – you'll say – where should we start? The story, the characters, the music, the great performances... And, last, but not least: the lyrics.
I love the lyrics of Les Miserables and think they express much in a very simple way. I will focus on 10 texts which I've chosen and I will write what makes them so deep and worth of our attention.

10th Anniversary Concert

When I first borrowed the DVD from a friend, my first impression was that it was a spectacular moment that u really want to watch it live!
The cast were amazing, and I was also surprise that Frances Ruffelle was never ask to reprise her role as Eponine, despite the fact that Lea Salonga was also very good!
Surprisingly, Madame Thenadier's part in kasteel on a wolk was shortened. So was Turning, I have always wonder why though?
Finally, I love...
