We rented the DVD of Les Mis 10th Anniversary Dream Castand it’s amazing. It conveys the cruelty of society and the grandeur of a crush soul transformed by human and divine mercy from bitterness to compassion. I wonder how deeply changed we are when we view it live or on screen, however. It bugged me that the audience roared with laughter when Mme. Thenardier appeared. She’s every bit as cruel as Mme. LaFarge. Why laugh?
