Les Misérables

There are so many works of art through the literature of the theatrical arts, but I will give you one of my favorites.

Les Misérables: a great play loosely based on the French Revolution. It was originally a book, later turned into an opera, then took its turn into a musical. Because it was originally an opera, it only features lines through song. No lyrics are actually spoken.

If you haven't seen this play I highly suggest you do. They've even made it into a movie. It will make you laugh, cry, and be in awe of the musical talent needed in a show as this.
