There's something about uninterrupted singing that just doesn't work for me, because at some point, I need my characters to talk. Without meaning to offend anyone, a musical like 'Les Miserables' would be the last thing I'd ever be interested in.

Pedro Almodovar

Sure, 'Les Miserables' can be melodramatic. And seeing the musical instead of reading the novel will save you some time and spare you the long part where Hugo goes on and on about the Parisian sewer system. But I would hate for the novel to lose that.

Garth Risk Hallberg

I don't feel guilty about the music I love. If you feel guilty about something you dig, then you should stop feeling guilty about it. One of my favorite albums to this day is the 10th anniversary ensemble cast of 'Les Miserables,' the ultimate cast recording, and it is still something I love listening to top to bottom.

Corey Taylor

I listened to John Denver and Simon & Garfunkel. Edith Piaf was a huge favourite. Then I discovered musicals - I loved 'Les Miserables' - and, at about 14, I started listening to David Gray.

Gin Wigmore

I auditioned for the part of Cosette in 'Les Miserables' on Broadway. It didn't work out.

Ivanka Trump

I sing; I started my career at 9 years old in 'Les Miserables' on Broadway.

Lacey Chabert

I went to a performing arts school. I went to an audition for a musical, 'Les Miserables,' in the West End, and I got in, and my parents were like, 'Oh, you can sing?' So I kind of started singing properly when I was, like, seven.

Anne-Marie

I remember seeing 'Les Miserables' with the original cast - this was in '87 - and I was blown away by it.

Steve Zahn

There have been lots of attempts to make a movie of 'Les Miserables' over the years.

'Bloodless' reminded me a bit of 'Les Miserables' when it first came out.

It's fantastic to see 'Les Miserables' become the top-grossing film at the U.K. box office.

I just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast,' the only one I could get tickets for, and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.

My mum bought discounted tickets for shows like 'Cats' and 'Les Miserables'; I became completely enamoured.
