Les Miserables - A revolutionary musical or empty chairs in empty theatres?

Les Miserables has been my all-time favourite musical from a young age.

I remember back in my first year of secondary school, singing “Do you hear the people sing” as the finale to the school musical, and I was hooked.

The film, featuring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway, has been watched and rewatched an embarrassingly high number of times to the point where I know the music and the score by heart, a skill I am probably too proud of.

But on the actual musical, incredible.
