I could have written what you wrote!
The stage production was wonderful, and I was a little concerned the movie might fall short. It did not, and in fact, added another dimension to the enjoyment.
My only less than positive comment is that Anne Hathaway’s portrayal of Cosette was not as solid and her character did not have the depth of the stage presentation. She was good; but not great.
The theatre I was in - Richmond, VA - was also sold out.
I would highly recommend seeing the movie.
Went to Les Miz at 11:00 today. Signs at the theater said that all shows today were sold out, we luckily had bought tickets online!
The sound cut in and out about halfway through, and the manager came in and apologized and said we’d all get refunds. They tried to get it going again, but then it cut out completely. Some in the audience tried a sing-along to the video, but unfortunately we were in a complicated part of the music......
So, I don’t know whether to go back for the second half, or use my voucher for zero dark thirty.
I sure hope that theater manager didn’t have to turn away 4 more showings today! The look on the poor guy’s face.....
Anne Hathaway played Fantine, not Cosett.
I think Anne Hathaway’s character is Fontine.
