About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a big, emotional musical with constant singing, romance, and revolution-era drama; Not for you if you dislike sung-through stories, heavy sadness, or a long runtime like Titanic.
Pros: sweeping emotional story; powerful performances; memorable songs | Cons: nearly nonstop singing; uneven vocal performances; long runtime drags
