ReplyDeleteI have watched or listened to this musical SO many times in the past couple of months! I just love it! I'm not sure why you'd say that it can't reach the level of the English musicals since this one is much better than quite a few English ones that I can think of! :)
Oh thank you for posting this! My french teacher introduced me to one of the songs "Un Geste de Vous" a long time ago. Now I get to see the whole musical!

ReplyDeleteGlad you get to watch the whole thing! I wish I could convince more of my friends to check it out!
I'm french, and I saw this musical. It was an amazing experience. I remembered that I was sat, wainting for the bigining, when I realized that a part of the singers/actors were next to me because as you see in the video, the musical starts in the crowd and not on stage. It was awesome !
