Hawker, that is an interesting opinion.
Could you give some details about "The people behind "Les Mis" borrowed heavily from concepts devised by the RSC for its production of "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby." "? I didn't see the production of "Nickelby" so I have no idea how it works.
Also, the "McIntoshes "Les Mis" was far more Dickensian than Hugo. As a matter of fact the original concept album had almost no similarity in mood or tone to the finished product thanks to the creativity of the RSC. ". I have listened to the french concept recording, but I cannot figure out whether the original one is more Hugo than London's version. I would love to know more about your opinion.
