Les Mis is a tearjerker. It’s really wonderfufl
I believe WSS began as a musical - a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet.
Funny thing about the R&J story is it covers just a period of three hours. Well I guess WSS could last as long. I think a musical about Hamlet would be interesting. I’ve seen the movie Hamlet with Mel Gibson and also from a different perspective was “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” the dark parody of what goes on behind the scenes throughout the story of Hamlet is at times ingenious albeit occasionally tedious.
