distressing news

[Christopher Lemelin]

A quick correction.  Les Miserables was originally written (in  
French) by composer Claude-Michel Schoenberg and librettist Alain  
Boubil.  The English version was produced by Cameron Mackintosh and  
the English lyrics were adapted by Herbert Kretzmer.

In my humble opinion--and by the way, I agree with others that ALW's  
early musicals are far superior to his later ones--Les Mis is an  
incredible achievement, rivaling a great opera.
