I haven't seen the Broadway one, I will have to check it out, but I highly recommend the book hehe.

​

I watched the 2012 movie with Hugh Jackman, and it felt so so so fast to me. Hundreds of pages and arcs condensed into 2 minutes of scene time hurt my heart. It also completely missed a side of JV in the book. In the book he has this deep, dark, terrifying, and threatening persona he brings out when needed. The movie has a fight scene with Javert where JV runs away, in the book he just straight up terrifies Javert.
