(which I also saw with my Mom and also really liked) I still have Les Miserables as the best.  I have actually seen it several times, but this was the first time and with my Madre in Detroit, Michigan.  
It is a cultural irony to see a Broadway Musical in Detroit because in that downtown area ~ there are clear signs of how much trouble Detroit is in with poverty, homelessness, hunger and general urban decay.  And this was in 1992 ~

The Fisher Theatre is beautiful and it was a wonderful production ~ and impacted me deeply.  When I listen to the CD of the musical I can still remember being Row C, Seat 13 that night.  My Mom and I often get the songs stuck in our heads and can start singing them together without really even thinking about it.  Then we have to get the CD out and re-live the experience of Les Miserables.
