As mentioned earlier we went to see it and LOVED it! Both of us have never seen the play so no comparisons being played out while we watched. I thought the acting performances were AMAZING!
Anne Hathaway blew me away! Her vocal performance was raw and drenched in pure emotion. Hugh Jackman was just was phenomenal! Acting was brilliant, vocals were decent, not broadway worthy but a job well done.
I agree that I wasn't overly impressed with Russell Crowe and Helena Bonham Carter. I really enjoyed her in The Barber of Seville with Johnny Depp.
The young man that played Marius was impressive and his vocals were excellent.
Have to say we came home and right away started on Youtube with clips of performances from Broadway. We are truly sad that we missed the chance to it see it!
We are going back to see it again and will purchase it when released.
