The movie is being released early next year I believe. Directed by Tom Hooper who did Kings Speech and Damned United. Hugh Jackman is Valjean and Russell Crowe is Javert.

A poll without 'One Day More' in it? Poor show.

Do you hear the people sing gets my vote. I agree that Victor Hugo's masterpiece is the finest musical ever to grace the west end although in my opinion Miss Saigon pushes it close.

Seen it 4 times (its my Mums favourite and taken her on her birthday a few times). First time was back in Jan 1986 just after it had moved from the Barbican to the Palace (boooo) Theatre! My mum has all the CDs, DVDs etc, think its a brilliant show, as good 2nd or 3rd or 4th time.

Still got the Matt Lucas TV programme from when he appeared in it, not watched it yet!

Brilliant musical, has its comedy, its sad bits but what makes it outstanding is the story and the songs. Bring him home has to be my favourite but do you hear the people sing pushes it close.

Tiver me fugging shimbers! Just HOW MANY film versions of Les Mis does the world really need? For me the Liam Neeson/Geoffrey Rush/Uma Thurman/Claire Danes one will do nicely. Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe can f*** off and do a remake of Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
