Les Misérables-悲慘世界-

<<介紹原因>>

I have seen the “Les Misérables” many times by video, and I alsobought the DVD for collection. I considered that the reason for “Les Misérables”to be a classic musical is not only because of its story but for all melodiesin the show. When I saw “Les Misérables”, I could feel their strong emotions bythose powerful songs. For example, I could feel the people’s despair in the overture,of curse, their anger, their sadness, their hope, and so on. It’s just like Iwas in the same situation. I think it is a really impressive show that I wantto recommend you to see this if you had a chance.
