@seekjustice 😀 I’m sorry! Honestly, I would’ve told you! I just didn’t know you would be on at this time of day, and Jen asked what I was working on…so I told her! :0 😉
Oliver Twist casts singing in French?! What is that from? Oliver! the musical? Or is it another adaption?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
That’s okay 🙂 It looks really good!
It was called Oliver Twist le Musical, but I don’t know whether it was an adaption of Oliver! Or not. The song they were actually singing was Le faut a Voltaire which is from Les Mis. So I’ve got no idea what was going on there.

@seekjustice Especially since Les Mis wasn’t written until 1845, which was 8 years after Oliver Twist was written? 😀 No, I don’t think that has anything to do with it. But I know the songs from Oliver! so let me listen to the le Musical version and see if they’re the same…
On another note, but on the same topic, I just had a bell in my head last night reminding me of a musical that’s in a more modern style that I haven’t told you about. 😀 (Imagine! There are actually some musicals we still haven’t discussed!) So, did you say you don’t mind if your list gets miles long? 🙂
Oh, whoops! I just started it again, didn’t I? ;o

The Les Mis musical also isn’t as old as Oliver.
Okay sure! What is it?

@seekjustice Yes, but Oliver Twist, Le Musical is not as old as the Les Miserables musical. I checked, and its not the same as Oliver!. 🙂
It’s based on the writing of the American Declaration of Independence. I know it won’t mean as much to you since you’re Australian, but it’s a great historical musical. And the music is more in a modern style, so you might like it a little better, even though it was made in 1968.
Titled simply 1776 because that was the year in which the events depicted happened. I haven’t seen the full musical, but my mom and dad took one of my brothers to see it live! 🙂 I’ve listened to all the songs, and they’re very well done. “Molasses to Rum to Slaves” is very good, especially. (In my opinion, not necessarily yours. But I believe it is considered by critics to be very good as well.)
One of my favorite parts is the relationship between John Adams (One of the leaders of the Revolution) and his wife Abigail. They sing a great duet about how she’s at home taking care of the family while he’s doing his patriotic business, and she misses him, but she’s taking care of the kids.
Anyway, what I’m saying is, just listen to it! See if you like it.
Oh, one more thing: There actually is quite a bit of cursing in it. Not the modern curse words, but normal old ones about…um…God and damnation. It’s really annoying, which is why I don’t listen to it all that often. But thankfully the songs don’t have too much of that in them.
