"I was wondering if anyone knew of shows that were transfered to broadway that had to be translated, i know of many situations the other way around, but have there ever been any shows that were from foreign language countries on broadway"

Les Miz. I also believe Miss Saigon was translated as it was worked on...so maybe not translated in the sense you are asking.

Yep, Miss Saigon did have demos in French, but it was never released.

There is a French cast recording (concept album) available on CD! -well it was a number of years back! It was released in 1989 4 years AFTER the production opened in London.
I have it but it's never been played.

The cast was mostly Polish, and the accents were so thick that they may as well have spoken in Polish.

It is interesting to note that while "Miss Saigon" had French demos, there has never been a full-scale French-language production of the show anywhere. Not in France, Canada, or any other Francophone country.

Apparently, the site's server thought it was interesting to note as well, or else it wouldn't have repeated the post thirteen times...

The original French concept recording of Les Mis was released in 1980--5 years BEFORE it opened in London--not 1989. The French REVIVAL CD was released in 1991. It's the one with the blue cover. Maybe you meant that one?

I've seen it around -- check a decent used record shop. Shouldn't run you more than about fifteen bucks. It isn't particularly rare.

In France.

Alternately, on Amazon. Or in used CD stores. Or eBay.
