Exciting show, vibrant ensemble numbers and perfect cast

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2017)

I expected to be entertained but not so totally WOWED! The energy from the ensemble numbers and the tenderness of the solos and duets were a perfect blend. Hugh Jackman's Les Mis performance was a mere 'warm up' for this one. A few times I forgot that I was watching a movie and was just about ready to cheer at the end of some of the numbers. I really hope this does well at the awards shows - long live the movie musical!
