THE MUSICAL THAT CREATES THE THEATRE HISTORY
After the British première in the Barbican Theatre in London, in 1985, and then the American première on Broadway in 1987, Les Misérables (called Le Miz by their fans) became a hit that never left the world musical stages. This musical won more than 50 most significant awards, among which was Grammy for the album with the songs from Broadway performance (triple platinum disc). The crown of the success of this musical is the award TONY for 1987. In that year, 2007, Les Misérables celebrated their 22nd birthday in London, and thus became the longest running musical in the world, breaking in that way the record of the legendary Cats. So far over fifty million spectators have seen this musical – in 223 towns, such as Tokyo, Budapest, Sidney, Reykjavik, Oslo, Toronto, Madrid... The musical was translated into 21 languages, and quite recently it celebrated its thirty-nine thousandth world performing. As of 2008, Les Misérables will, in addition to many great world languages, be performed in the Mandarin language in Shanghai as well, and it was presented for the first time to the public of Serbia and Belgrade at the stage of Madlenianum in October, 2007.
Victor Hugo: Song lingers where there is no longer any hope.
...“ one is running short of words of superhuman commendation for the brilliant musical-scenic accomplishment in Madlenianum, entitled " Les Misérables ", which spurs on this year’s BEMUS to the heavenly elevations, throwing galaxies of its glittering stars all over such a memorable all-night road!...
