Seagazer Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We can't wait either. It looks so good. We went and saw it on stage in November, it was the fourth time I've seen it. I always get goosebumps when I hear the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 I am about to pre book my tickets thinking as it will just be me on my own I may have to get the VIP seats Ive been in love with the musical since we did parts of it at school, then it was the music we studied for our GCSE's totally love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Difference of opinion,but I loathed the stage show & thought the movie looked dire My mate worked on the show about 20 years ago & gave us tickets as a gift - The Husband fell asleep! Still,it takes all sorts & I hope those who are looking forward to it really enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachachecha Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Saw the movie two days ago, it was wonderful. Walked out in tears. Attended the play a few years back while in New York. Have down loaded the book for free on my Kindle to reread it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I loved the stage show, I've seen it twice .... and I don't want to see the film. I can't see how it would translate to film, and I don't want to spoil my memories of a really great musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 You ought to see the trailer its amazing think it will be just as good as the stage If the trailer doesnt give you goose bumps then maybe the movie wont be as good but the trailer definately gave me goose bumps and the snippets I saw today wow ! And reading our local press i think that Javerts suicide was shot in Bath at the Pulteney Bridge ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I saw the Stage Show in London years ago and loved it but OH hasn't seen it; we quite fancy going to watch the film version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I can't wait! I saw the musical in the West End and didn't think it would make a great film when I first heard about it but from the trailer and documentary I saw about it, I really want to go and see the film!

Pearls007 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We love the show - my two sons were both in a youth version a couple of years ago too. I think it will be different, and fabulous in a different way. I can't help thinking that the acting and story will hold your attention more than the music as happens with the stage version, as by the nature of film you will be "closer" to the action. I'm really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I saw the stage show when it first came out as I was lucky enough to be given tickets by a friend in the industry. Phil doesn't normally do musicals but is sufficiently impressed by the trailer to want to see the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It's never been one of my favourite musicals, I just don't know why. Think I'll wait until it comes on TV, which usually isn't long these days. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have seen it on the stage and enjoyed it. I was indifferent about watching it at the cinema until I wanted quite a long programme on it on TV yesterday and now I can't wait to see it.

Whoops sorry I was refering to one of the songs but dont think I have given much away re story line dont listen to any of the sound track as that will give it all away too.

charly1979 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Why does this thread now say "May contain spoilers" noen of the storline has been given away ??? I am confused just because I referred to the name of a song all of which can be easily found on the website and the itv porgamme gave a few bits away bit upset really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think it is fair to warn those who have not read the book,seen the show or done web research about a major plot line that may be given away or hinted at in a thread. It happens all the time - the Mods are just protecting those who might want to be kept surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I went to see the Advance screening on Tuesday in London and it was epic! We were at the front of the cinema and it was really wierd being SO close to the actors faces singing at you, as we're probably used to seeing it on stage, but it was really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The Boy and I are seeing it on Saturday afternoon, can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We're seeing it tomorrow afternoon, I really can't wait either. I've got such high expectations now fromall the reviews and trailers. My DD took both her grandmothers and aunt to see the show again (we went in November), she is beyond excited. I said to her did she not think she might overdo Les Mis this week, as she's going to see the film as well at some point this week. She could see it every day I think andwould be happy.
