The stage show--100% !!

Ha ha - that's not fair!

OK, the Stage Show aside, I can either see the film or read the book, not sure which to choose.

(Silvermalc, glad you enjoyed seeing the Show) 

Thanks,

LOL--sorry--well--didnt care over much for the film and found the book heavy going !! Have seen stage show over 20 times-it was always a treat for family/friends coming to visit London-was offered comps just after it opened and rejected them--my reasoning--who wants to see a musical about a revolution ??--I am not being very helpful am I ???

Yes, you are being very encouraging.  Giving anyone thinking of seeing the Show, a great review, having seen it over 20 times.  Even letting me know that the book is somewhat "heavy going". 

Thank you,

I haven't read the book but I could happily watch the film over & over again, I loved it  🙂

Did think it was somewhat miscast--Hugh Jackman was too young--although thought Anne Hathaway was stunning !!
