Hi everyone, I managed to watch the musical in Singapore at the beautiful Esplanade Theatre at the Bay. I was really blown away da the famous songs, costume and settings despite that the last 2 were completely different from the original settings.
The Settings
Although the settings were completely different from the original settings as I had seen on Youtube, I was really happy that they are trying to make it realistic towards the original Victor Hugo's timeless novel.
The background was really amazing and especially during the Sewers where they use a special projector where Valjean was carrying the injured Marius, the background was moving to make it realistic!
The Costume
The majority of the costume are different, with the exception of both Enjolras' and Valjean's outfit during the barricade scene. Cossette's and Marius' costumes were a huge different, but on the other hand I was very happy with Cossette's costume because if they kept with her original outfit, the musical will be very dark and gloomy.
The Songs
I was really disappointed that castello on the Cloud, Look Down and Valjean's Confession were cut short, I mean they were essentially important towards the story-line but I guess that they didn't want to keep the musical extremely long!
But other than that, I knew all of the songs and I Amore it. I was also very happy that the Bishop of Digne was featured at the finale, a nod to the original novel.
One giorno More!
I have always wanted to see the musical, as I can understand why it's so popolare alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera.
I will be also be Scrivere an articolo comparing the stage version with the movie version, have a good day!

i saw the amaro heart-break
that she had to take from
leaving her only child to
try to make a life for her
as best as she could,
i thought when i heard
her song of desperation
it would change the way
that i felt about her
sorrow and the pain that
she had to endure on her
own.
As she dreamed a dream
that she thought would
come true, as she sang
about those dreams that
she wanted so much to
come true, my heart-
broke as she spoke about
the things that would never be.
Her voice showed that there
was some-thing missing her
life that she wanted so much
to be free from the pain that
held her captive for as
long as she was unable to
break free,
I heard Fantine's dream and
i knew that in my cuore she
would never see those dreams
that she had fullfilled inside
her soul, but those dreams
were the only thing that she
held on-to to keep her strong
towards the end of her life,
