 A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to see the PCPA production of “Les Miserables.” It was a terrific evening watching the tremendous story unfold in front of me.
Then this last Christmas Day, I went to see the film production. From what I understand, people either hated it or loved it — I loved it. “Les Miserables” is classic theater and as sad as the story goes, I always thought it was something that could be satirized, because of the seriousness of the play. And now for something completely different — The Great American Melodrama in Oceano is now serving up its version, but they aren’t taking it serious at all. “Les Miserables ... or a whole lot LESS Miserable,” is a terrific farce and satire of the classic Victor Hugo novel, and of the Broadway play. Written by Tom Jordan, then liberally adapted by director Eric Hoit, “Les Miserables” is a very funny and edited down version. |
