One Day More...

Ahhhhhh...January. Quiet. Well, quiet compared to December. It has been nice to be able to slow the pace down a bit.

Sunday afternoon Jason and I got to go see Les Miserables with our friends Todd and Samantha. We saw it on Broadway many years ago and were anxious to see how it would look on the bring screen. We weren't disappointed. It was AMAZING! Jason and I have been singing the songs all week, they are stuck in our hears. I forgot how redemption, grace and love are woven so strongly throughout the story. Hugh Jackman was great and I loved Anne Hathaway's rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream". The whole movie is singing with only a spoken sentence or two and obviously had elements that you can't do on a Broadway stage, which I feel only enhanced the story for me. My favorite part was when they sing "One Day More!", you see how all the characters collide in the story. Even Colm Wilkinson the original singer who was Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman's character) on Broadway had a part to play in the movie as the Priest. I would love to go see it again, but may have to wait till video.
