Saw a blurb on the net about the musical coming to Manhattan soon , then found out that the thing is from late 90's and I thought , " are you kiddin me ? ". Full piece is on you tube so took a look....nose holdin' time.
Les Miz is a big time work but Miss Saigon ( both are French musicals ) is mediocre at best . Seems that the lead and Jonathan Price and the chopper sold it to undemanding ( clueless ) audiences.
NDdP is so bad it hurts to watch. Opening song mediocre, then bad, bad , bad.....French popular music bad.
Just paid a lot of dough to get an English dubbed release of A Man and His Dog and like a very few French films in general and was open minded about NDdP going in but almost immediately had to jump from song to song in a search for anything good.. Save the trouble , it stinks. Best version of the story is the Hallmark TV movie. From long ago.
This is dumb downed crap .
