CCIP participants had an evening of live entertainment on Wednesday night as a group went together to see the classic Broadway show "Les Miserables." Besides seeing the show, the group also ate dinner afterward to discuss the ins and outs of the spectacle they'd just witnessed.
"The musical is so lavish," said Annie, a student from the Open University of Hong Kong, who helped organize the event. "It was impressive because all the costumes, characters, and songs reinforced the message of overcoming obstacles and finding freedom from oppression."
The show, which is currently in its third Broadway revival, has been a cultural touchstone for the theater scene in New York since it first opened in 1987.
Michael, a student at Hong Kong University, underscored the importance of "Les Miserables" in the international theater scene. "It's such a legendary show. To see it on Broadway with a group of fellow participants was a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
