Oh my, yes. I heard a clip of them singing from that movie, and it hurt my ears. ehre's no way I could sit through a whole movie worth. (also, I personally argue that the the show is an opera, not a musical; a musical has spoken word bits, where at least in the stage show of Les Mis the entire plot is carried out in song.

Oh, I agree. I knew musical didn't sound right, but I couldn't think of a more appropriate word. Operas are too connected to non English works in my head to easily recall and use.
Personally, the choice of Eponine as much as ValJean makes the opera for me.
