^^ The other versions of Les Mis haven't been the musical though. It's the longest running musical in the world, the stage production has grossed over $1.8 billion and been seen by over 50 milllion people worldwide. It's a juggernaut, the fan base is extraordinary. Cameron Mackintosh has such a tight grip on this that it should be great. Of course, all that doesn't mean it will be a hit in cinemas but it gives it one hell of a starting point, in comparison to something like Nine, which is not a nearly as well know worldwide. It was never going to be a massive hit no matter what they did with it.
Cosette is a great role for Amanda, it's easy to assume because she's done Mamma Mia she's half way there but she's really going to have work for it, I'm really interested to see what she does with the part and tp see her work with Eddie.
That last look really does her no favours at all.
