My boss and I went to see the musical production of Les Miserablés Wednesday night while in San Francisco. I was impressed all over again with what a magnificent story it is, and what a wonderful job the creators of the show did in bringing Hugo’s masterwork from prose to the stage. There are few more powerful workings-out of the conflict between justice and mercy, sin and salvation in world literature than this one, and it’s amazing to see it brought to life so vividly.
