The show, which I saw here in Washington, DC, is a third-rate recycling of
LES MISERABLES music that, unlike the film with Depardieu (or even the
adaptation with Richard Gere), makes it obvious just how ridiculous the
story actually is. There was one song that was half-memorable.
Unfortunately, I don't remember it at all.
Don't waste your time on this clunker!
