Now those who didn't get the chance to star in the film can get up close to the costumes that feature in it.
The Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth is hosting nineteen of the costumes and a selection of props, which were Oscar and Bafta nominated. This is the first time they have been shown in the UK, courtesy of NBC Universal Archives and collections.
I saw and loved the film so wanted to check them all out, I also wanted to see just how skinny Anne Hathaway got for the film.
The costumes featured include Hugh Jackman's Valjean convict costume that he wore in his Portsmouth scenes, various costumes worn by Anne Hathaway as Fantine, Isabelle Allen and Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Natalya Angel Wallace and Samantha Barks as Eponine, Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thenardier, Colm Wilkinson as the Bishop, Daniel Huttlestone as Gavroche, Aaron Tveit as Enjolras.
They aren't all behind glass which is quite cool because you can get quite close and see the intricate detail used and how beautiful even Fantine's dirty red dress is. Let me say as well she is very, very skinny. Her clothes are tiny, so are Samantha Barks.
It is really good, if you loved the film you will enjoy this. My sister went with me, she hasn't seen Les Mis but said she really wants to now.
There may not be many but it is great for something like this to come to Portsmouth. I hope more come down, we had a great Little Black Dress exhibition at Portsmouth Museum a few years ago and I know people will go to it, well I will..
Tickets are £5 just for the exhibition and it ends on April 14.
To buy tickets online visit: http://www.historicdockyard.co.uk/tickets/ I would advise buying in advance as we had to queue to get in.
