I can't believe you haven't seen it. I think you should remedy that over the Christmas break! Or do you want to go in blind? I only saw it first with the movie, I went along despite my rather large misgivings about Russell Crowe, and musicals in general. But surprise, surprise, I LOVED the movie- the music is totally amazing. I went back and saw the movie three times I think at the cinema. And I've since seen the stage show 4 times in three cities (just luck really, and conference locations), but I went in Melbourne x2 (consecutive nights), Sydney and Brisbane. <br /><br />You've made the same rookie mistake as I did before the movie, it isn't actually set in the French Revolution, it's set in the early 19th century, and ends with the June Rebellion of 1832 in Paris (no I didn't know about that before I'd seen the shows either).<br /><br />I think we have the same Penguin hardback edition from your description. And a small typo- 365 chapters is one a day...Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.com
