not overly cheery is a understatement.
I mean, it has miserable in the title.
Aye. Unlike Oliver (I rip on Oliver a lot given how similar their settings and situations are), the music is very emotional and heart-wrenching. While in Oliver, the starving boys sing in a saccharine and overly cute manner, the characters in Les Miserables sing in such a melancholy manner that you are reduced to tears.
