The start of the song reminds me of certain songs from Les Mis, especially "Do You Hear the People Sing?" I really love the music. It's a shame it's not done more often.
intresting version of "Martian Guerre" (the song) it's a mix of the orginal london lyrics with some new lyrics like "that bastard Guillame" it used to be Pierre his uncle he was talking about....When were the new revised lyrics wrriten? Was it the re-vised version that was created a few months after the first london version (which failed)
oh man...this is sick..and now my new audition piece...WOW!
i can see why it wouldnt do great since it was right after Les mis..with the whole french peasentry,but this music is just BEAUTIFUL thanks mac and boub!!!!!!!!!!
I think this was the best show Boublil/Schonberg ever did. I say that in past tense because they have continued to muck about with it & radically change it until it's not the same show. I saw the OLC after rewrites. Won Best Musical that year. What an amazing company of actors. There was a point where they were performing the original show by night, rehearsing the 'new' show by day & also preparing for OLC recording. That makes for a special kind of bonding that was palpable in the theatre.
This is a brilliant documentary. I've never seen the show, just got the original cast album. Does anyone know the Forbidden Broadway spoof of the show?
No, it's Matt Rawle. He originated the role role in London in 1996. Stephen Weller played the role in the UK tour in 1999. Both the 1996 and 1999 productions were recorded.

Matt is good...but he has a tendency to dump notes and sing a little flat. just my opinion....

Terrific.
I heard this show a number of years ago, and was very taken with it.
Does anyone know if it is available of production (not professional, but regional theater)
