An outstanding performance! I've loved the book since I first read it 20+ years ago, but this musical brought the experience to an even higher level. The cast was almost perfect, too: Norm Lewis, Alfie Boe, Samantha Barks, Ramin Karimloo, Hadley Fraser etc. all managed to capture the very soul of the character they played. For someone who's not familiar with the story,it might be a bit confusing to follow the story at times, but maybe I just me underestimating people's abilities. Definitely worth each & every penny.
