Lessons learned: Have a coherent storyline, don't have unnecessary loud booming gunshot noises throughout, and don't show someone vomiting on stage. It was simply disgusting to watch the vomit. Whose idea was that???

Isn't that the real lesson? That LES MIZ is a genuine phenom because it arrived and was embraced for being unlike anything else prior/at the time? Cloning its theatrical values via an archaeological dig through supposedly comparable epic novels invited comparisons (odious) and cynical consumer disinterest.

though I don't think funny was the intent in this case.

First time I recall that action being used in any sort of film or other medium was Jill Clayburgh throwing up in "An Unmarried Woman". It was gross then and it was stupid and gross here, and rather unintentionally funny too.
