Les Miserables: An All Time Classic
Les Miserables is a popular French-language musical show based on Victor Hugo’s highly acclaimed work of fiction which is considered as one of the greatest novels of the 19 th century. Originally the play ran for several months in 1980 in a sports arena in Paris. It was inspired by a concept album which also enthused musical producer Cameron Mckintosh to come up with an English-language version of the play. In 1985, it opened at the Barbican Arts Center in London and received diverse criticism from the literary scholars. Though there are a lot of negative reviews and critical reactions during that time, the public loved the play and since then, people are having a hard time scoring Les Misables tickets whenever or wherever it is being played. image courtesy of en.wikipedia.org
