December Entertainment 2012

I was 8 years old when I saw Les Misérables as my very first Broadway show. Sure, I barely grasped the mature concepts, but I fell in love with the characters and the songs, and can still sing every line of the soundtrack. That's why I'm counting the days until the film's Dec. 25 release date, when I'll likely be crying my eyes out as I see one of my favorite musicals play out on the big screen.
