My primal self did not want to see Les Misérables. My artistic self even feared that this production would be a chore to watch. After all, it was about the French Revolution and based on Victor Hugo's 1862 French novel... Yawn. However, I felt that I should go despite my hesitations. So here's what happened:
Enter Shaftsbury Theatre.
Dim the lights.
Draw the curtain.
Enter France 1815...

I DREAMED A DREAM (song from Les Mis)
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
My heart softened while watching this journey of redemption. It's clear to see that if only we weren't seeking greatness, we are all capable of such greatness. For anyone who has wanted to reach just a little further, let this story find its way to you.
