I love this marvellous show and have seen it twice. I bought the CD and often listen to it.

Just the thought of the song "Bring him home" makes me feel tearful.

Really don't like it - it is so downbeat.

One of my brothers, on the other hand, will go to see at every possible opportunity!

No, I absolutely love it. Have seen it more times than I care to admit and I’m actually going to see it again in a couple of weeks!

I’ve seen it in the theatre 3 times and never tire of it.

Ive seen it a few times in London. I went reluctantly the first time but it was simply the best thing ive seen. The music is fab.

Never fancied it. My DD saw it in London and found it a bit miserable 😉
I’m not that keen on a lot of modern musicals, I much prefer Rodgers & Hammerstein, although Bring him home is a knock out song.

I’m just about to add Send in the Clowns to my singing repertoire, but not sure if that counts as modern.

I remember seeing Les Mis over 30 years ago, hadn’t been on the Westend very long, I came out and thought what the hell was that about!
Years later I watched the film and by then understood the story so if I saw again I am sure I would enjoy it.

Absolutely not. Seen it a couple of times and would see it again at the drop of a hat.

I love it too but DH isn't keen.

I think it grows on you.

Brilliant musical, saw it ages ago with the lovely Alfie Boe. Our choir have Bring him home in our repertoire - brings a lump to my throat every time we sing it!

Caught the staged concert on Sky Arts today with Michael Ball and Matt Lucas.
