"Les Miserables" (Her Majesty's Theatre)

Well, you can't go too far wrong with a main stage production of Les Miserables. I could quibble a bit at some of the singing, some of which was too much on the side of expressiveness rather than tunefulness for my tastes, but ultimately this was a lavish mounting of the only musical I've ever particularly known or cared about - while obviously it has nowhere near the complexity or sophistication, I was reminded of the familiarity evoked by my favourite Shakespeares - and it was good.
