    If you go to see Les Mis and you do not cry at all, then you have no heart or soul. The writers and musicians and actors are all brilliant. I have seen lthis show at least 10 times

      Lanaloo216 This is my absolute favorite cast also. My dad had gotten me an anniversary CD set that had a mix from different casts around the world. He thought I would like it better because it was a much more complete version of the show. I begged and begged and he finally got me the CD of this cast that had all the songs, but was missing small things. My dad doesn't like classical or show tunes which are my favorite, but later he sat with me and listened to both versions of a few of my favorite song. He admitted liking my favorite version too, but I didn't try to make him do that again. But for a few hours I had a dad that wasn't just all about sports...

    “Take these children my Lord to thy embrace and show them grace” The entire musical points us to the unmerited grace of God, freely made available to all of us through the death of His son, Jesus Christ. In “Who am I” Valjean sings, “Can I condemn this man to slavery? Pretend I do not feel his agony, this innocent who bears my face, who goes to judgment in my place? “ What better picture of what Jesus has done for all of us? The innocent who went to judgment in our place....

      I was there, high up in the cheap seats, mostly because I was such a huge fan of Michael Ball at the time and I spent the entire concert just focusing on him. Now so many years later I can appreciate just how fantastic all the cast were and that this was really a once in a lifetime experience.

    I do understand what you're saying. I just always thought they had Eponine sing that part too because (1) the harmony with her & Fantine is always fantastic (2) the line "to love another person is to see the face of God" Fantine loved her daughter, and Eponine was in love with Marius. Valjean loved Cosette and Marius so now the "first" people to love Cosette and Marius show up to lead him to heaven, and them guiding him is a way of saying thank you for looking after the people they loved.

    For those that have been through the experience of a parent dying, this is a very special scene.
