So I definitely think I ought not listen to the soundtrack before the movie.
I wouldn't recommend it. It's really a different beast.
In high school, the first soundtrack for Les Miz that I heard was the London cast, and I listened to it repeatedly. But a bunch of my friends had the American cast, and it SOUNDED WRONG to me. I didn't like listening to that version at all.
I'm so much happier now that I stopped listening to opera recordings immediately before I attend something.
What is it if it is not "safe behind bars"? (I will never rest....til then, this I swear. This I swear by....the Stars). I had the American version, but my favorite was the three cassette all-star version with the whole show. And I did listen to it once, if not twice per day in high school.
It's about poor French people, right? And a bad haircut?
That's as far as my knowledge goes. But if there turned out to be more than one bad haircut, I would not be surprised.
The hardest thing about this movie is not singing along.
Truth. Especially during the crowd scenes.
Oh, Kalshane! You're going to have to make an exception and see this in a big theater.
The issue for us is finding a babysitter.
I ended up having to wait for DVD for both Captain America and Thor and still haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises or Inception or countless other movies well-served by the big screen.

I just had to go check my CDs, and I have the American version. I'm not sure if I have ever listened to the London cast version. All of this is making me very sad that I have lost touch with a high school friend who I used to listen to the soundtrack with and saw the live version with as well. I've tried to find her, but, for a geek, she seems to have no internet presence at all.

Awww, big guy, the sad truth is that one of you goes one night and one of you goes the next night. When you got a pooter in the house sometimes just have to catch a few major cultural events.

Replace "And a bad haircut?" with "And someone steals bread?" and you have me.

I would have had to stop after the poor French people.
Here's a quick summary: the French criminal system sucks and the poor are oppressed. Love and generosity and forgiveness are more important than justice or legitimacy. Also, it sucks to be a street kid.
