Les Miserables

I tend not to view Broadway and Hollywood as leading centers for doing good in the world. In fact, I see those institutions more inclined towards moral degradation, particularly their alarming sexualizing of children and their embracing sexual perversions, and the proliferation of destructive beliefs.

However, there are rare exceptions to the rule, such as Les Miserables, which conveys and encourages a host of uplifting character traits and values, such as: mercy, forgiveness, love, duty, commitment, honor, honesty, etc.

I don't know about you, but each time I experience this endearing and enduring performance, I leave with renewed commitment to be a better person and to do good, as well as a greater hope for the world in general.

Kudos to Victor Hugo for penning the gripping story, and also to the playwrights, composers, producers, directors, actors, musicians, and production staff that have brought ththis amazing epic to life on stage and screen over the years. Millions have been enriched and changed for the better because of it.
