Les Miserables based on Victor Hugo's novel of pre-revolutionary France, have you ever seen this production? My husband and I saw this on Broadway in the 80's and it was awesome. The music is amazing. The 25th Anniversary Concert of Le Miz has been on PBS this week. I had forgotten how powerful this story and music is, I was literally clapping aloud and cheering. There are 500 + artists and musicians in this concert, which adds to drama. Nick Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers fame) is in it as Marius. Nick Jonas can really sing!!! For those who are stirred by music, try to see this on your local PBS station this week. You can also purchase this on DVD from Amazon for $19.99. All I can say is the music, the music, the music...
Can you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is a music of a people
who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
when tomorrow comes!
Do you hear the people sing?
Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
who are climbing to the light.
