Les Miserables featuring David Willetts

Les Miserables

Originally conceived and produced in early-80s France, before its English-language version’s  inauspicious beginnings at London’s Barbican Centre in 1985, the modern interpretation of Les Miserables has gone on to make its mark as one of the most successful stage musicals of all-time – both in the West End and on Broadway, as well as in theatres around the world - and as a bona fide Hollywood blockbuster featuring a stellar cast.

Based on Victor Hugo’s classic 19th-century novel, Les Miserables tells the story of Jean Valjean, a peasant of brawny stature and unpredictable, fiery character. Having spent 17 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family, Jean seeks redemption and is inspired by a compassionate bishop to break parole to start a new life, but is vigorously pursued by police inspector Javert. As they make progress, Jean and a cast of characters find themselves becoming involved in a momentous period in revolutionary France, when a gang of young radicals makes its final stand.

Les Miserables music by Claude-Michel Schönberg;  Original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel , English adaptation by Herbert Kretzmer

Miss Saigon

Based on Puccini’s opera Madame Butterfly, Miss Saigon tells a similarly tragic story of love lost between an Asian woman and her American lover, transferred from early 20th-centruy Japan  to Vietnam War-era Saigon.

Apparently inspired by a photograph of a Vietnamese mother leaving her daughter at the departure gate of a Vietnamese airbase to board a flight to the US, where her ex-army father could give the child a much better future, co-composer Claude-Michel Schönberg thought this the ‘ultimate sacrifice’ and the show is constructed around this central premise.

Opening at London’s Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in September 1989, Miss Saigon ran there for over 10 years and more than 4,000 performances. The show had its debut on Broadway in 1991, later playing in many other cities and embarking upon globe-spanning tours.

Les Miserables and Miss Saigon have become legends of the stage, each permeating popular culture far beyond their original imaginings.

Miss Saigon music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Alain Boublil and Richard Maltby Jr.

Badtz-Maru, PomPomPurin and My Melody are playing with hula hoops, and when they perform their tricks for Cinnamoroll they make a mess in his Café. After being kicked out of the Café they go to Hello Kitty’s house to show her their tricks, where they make a mess all over again!

Playing Games
Badtz-Maru, PomPomPurin and My Melody are playing cards at Badtz-Maru’s house on a rainy day when a strong wind blows the roof off of the house. The naughty trio decide to go to both Cinnamoroll’s Café and Hello Kitty’s house, where they play dominoes with cookies and pots, breaking them and causing their friendship with Kitty to begin to crumble.

Please, Come Back!
Badtz-Maru, PomPomPurin and My Melody don’t want to play with Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll, so the naughty trio leave Stump Village without saying goodbye to them. Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll are heartbroken, so one night they go to look for their friends, and find them sleeping in the middle of the forest, when suddenly they are awakened by the howling of wolves!

Pressing The Grapes
It’s time for the grape harvest, and the children put all the grapes into a huge wine press, which makes it look a like ball pool. The children put on their bathing suits and dive into the wine press to step on the grapes.

The Mask Party
The children have all made cute animal masks, except for Badtz-Maru. One evening they all gather at Hello Kitty’s house, wearing their masks when suddenly the door opens and in walks Badtz-Maru in a monster mask, scaring all the children!

Don’t Be Picky
Cinnamoroll invites his friends to a meal, but is very disappointed with them as they’re picky and won’t eat broccoli, baby carrots or other vegetables he serves them. He decides to change their eating habits by inviting them to another meal and baking a huge loaf of bread with all the vegetables hidden inside it!

The Candy Tree
One day Cinnamoroll picks up some of the sweets lying under a huge candy tree in the forest and makes three sweet medals. He holds three competitions to award the medals to his friends, but when Badtz-Maru doesn’t win one he shakes the tree to get some sweets, until lightning strikes the tree and buries Badzt-Maru inside a heap of sweets!

Wheat Field
PomPomPurin dreams he is being attacked by the bad bird. Badtz-Maru uses an accordion like a pogo stick while Hello Kitty struggles to cheer up My Melody. PomPomPurin designs a new scarecrow to frighten the mean bird away.

A New Friend
