NOTES
"The musical phenomenon, the ongoing story of the world's longest running musical."
"Ever since its first performances in 1985, Les Misérables has been a smash success, and is now the longest-running musical in the world with an award-winning Hollywood movie to its name. Les Misérables: The Official Archives takes a look back through the storied life of this monumental show. Benedict Nightingale examines the entirety of the Les Misérables theatre legacy, from Victor Hugo's original novel all the way to the movie's Hollywood set, and reveals why this musical has so strongly captured hearts and imaginations. The show's legion of fans will especially appreciate the images of such special memorabilia as annotated scripts, original costume sketches, and design notes for the 2012 film."--Amazon.com
"Much of the material in this book previously appeared in Les Misérables: from stage to to screen, 2012"--Title page verso
