Sunday Screening - Les Miserables

I'd seen the non-musical version of Victor Hugo's masterpiece of humanity Les Miserables, but the new production was my first introduction to the musical.

First, let me say that this story is one of those stories that has touched me so much, with the bravery, cruelty and above all the amazing amount of redemption!!!

Now as for the musical.

Performances were amazing! Hugh Jackman was great!

Anne Hathaway blew them all away!

But my sympathies and favorite performance was Samantha Barks as Eponine.

She brought that character to it's full force of emotion! (and I identify most closely with her.)

Some tears most def, but mostly just an overwhelming depression!

I feel like I need to watch something upbeat! Something cheerful and uplifting, like Romeo and Juliette or Old Yeller or something!
