But it is worth the frustrations - the story is even more involving than the film or stage play. Hope you enjoy it!!

I have heard people say that before about him going off on one about sewers or something for a chapter!
Thank you
The film has made me even more determined to attempt the book.

Alfie Boe's singing was flawless but that was about it. For me his acting wasn't very good. I went in with such high expectations and left feeling a bit disappointed. Then with his replacement it was a different story. Went in convinced Ramin Karimloo was miscast and came out thinking I had just seen the ultimate Jean Valjean! Beautiful vocals and amazing actor. Stunning.
