Loved loved loved the live show which was made without any dialog...only music. Spell bounding. The music was great. Also loved the movie....but sad to say, did not like Anne Hathaway...she was a little too dramatic and didn't care for her singing...which was mostly sobbing. So, I was happy that she was only in it for 17 minutes. Huge Jackman was great and I think Russell Crowe did an outstanding job...espcially since he isn't a singer and had to take voice lessons for 4 months before making the movie. But the real star was Eddie Redmayne, who played Marius, Colette's boyfriend....I thought he was wonderful and stole the show!
