RE: Maybe we can do the same thing to something from Charles Dickens.
They’ve done musicals of A CHRISTMAS CAROL already.
Maybe you have A TALE OF TWO CITIES in mind?
As for Victor Hugo, I’d like to see a Broadway musical of his other novel, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS. Whoever plays the deformed character, Gwynplaine, if done properly and right pathos, would be fantastic.
A TALE OF TWO CITIES - right. Wonder why they’ve not done it yet. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is about redemption and wasn’t as dark as LM. My thought.
