It's introspection for an individual's emotions and life is the focal point of novelist. The novel narrates that doesn't matter how many differences we have on apparent level. The want of every individual for his freedom and serenity is the same. The story of the show has moved the performer as well as the audiences through out the ages. The fact that there has been new cast and new spectators over the years haven't changed the charm and impact of the show actually the magic has spurred and is ever-growing.The musical is a complete treat to read, listen and see. I would say seeing is the best part. I enjoyed seeing the actors dying in slow motion on stage in front of my eyes.

The most fascinating portion for me was the change of sets with so much continuity with the pervious without having a halt and all is being done in front of the viewers. The magic remains the same doesn't matter you are watching it for the first time or 4th or 5th time. Les Miserables is whispered to be the most admired musical over the globe.
