LES MISERABLES is theatrical PERFECTION and could quite deservingly take the title as BEST MUSICAL EVER.

I think it is AMAZING and cannot quite decide whether BETM or LES MIS should take TOP SPOT, so they are equal NUMBER ONE on my ratings scale - as I like them for slightly different reasons! 8-)

This ties with Billy for my favorite musical.

I've seen it 7 times in London throughout the past year, and each time was amazing. It definitely isn't the most cheerful of musicals, but there's something about it that just makes me feel so uplifted every time I see it.

New York:

I personally find the music of Les Mis remarkable. I have four OCR recordings of it, including the French concept album, and the symphonic one.
However, I did not enjoy seeing it on stage, as once you have heard the OCRs, you have heard the whole show.
Just my opinion, which I do not consider humble at all. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
