Personally though, I am not an enormous Russel Crowe fan, I think maybe Robin Hood contributed to that. <br /><br />One thing I have trouble with is this notion that the French Revolution was a 'good' thing presented in a 'positive' light.

I've enjoyed most of the ones I've seen, but Carousel with Shirley Jones sticks in my mind as one I enjoyed the most. I will eventually watch Les Mis, but I probably won't get to the theater to see it. When I do see it, I hope it touches me as much as it's touched you.

No, I haven't seen it yet... perhaps during Winter break at the end of Feb when the kids don't have any activities and we can take them to the city on a weekday.<br /><br />My all time fav is 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. <br /><br />I want to put in a word for Mama Mia here.

What I didn't expect was that it was pretty much ALL sung. I think if some of those lyrics had been just spoken it might have worked better for him. I dragged my daughter there. She'd only heard it was a depressing story, but she told someone after that it was amazing,Debra E. Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853387871623424853noreply@blogger.com
