Last night I saw “Les Miserables” and was moved to tears on several occasions, notably during Anne Hathaway’s (Fantine) heartfelt “I Dreamed a Dream;” the trio (“In My Life/Heart Full of Love”) in which Cosette and Marius express wonderment about their love while Éponine, looking on, poignantly grieves for her unrequited love for Marius; Valjean’s death scene in which he is joined by the ghosts of Fantine and the Bishop (“Take My Hand”) and the rousing ensemble anthems (“One More Day” and “Do You Hear the People Sing”) grandly evoking the cause and solidarity of the oppressed Parisian population struggling to adapt to the Industrial Revolution.
