Favorite

You may wonder why I pay so much attention to Thénardier the innkeeper.

Let me give you a slightly convoluted answer:

When I first watched Les Misérables (the musical) with Jenny some twenty years ago, the favorite song of mine was Do You Hear The People Sing. (Alas, this song suddenly becomes very famous in our city recently.)

But, not long afterwards, I began to appreciate On My Own of Éponine.

A few years later, when I have the ability to focus on technical details and begin to see the many faces of the same truth, I find One More Day my cup of tea.

And now, as I age, my favorite piece is Master of the House.

After all, it is the only bit of laughter in this miserable story.
