Laughter is something we’re unfamiliar here at YoYo-Dyne. After all, Lithium is no longer available on credit* Funny how laughter and fear go together. Am thinking that’s why they do. What’s funnier than fear? Or death? Nothing! Here’s a tidbit including Laughter, Life and Les Mis…

I’d forgotten Matt Lucas (of Little Britain amongst other things fame) had done a turn on Les Mis.
Ahh, Les Miserables. A musical about life in France, written by a frenchman, adapted (originally) by a different frenchman, and proudly performed in English with an East End/Essex accent.
What. The. Fuck.
Ah well, if Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, and Kevin Costner in Robin Hood can get away with not getting anywhere near close to right accent then it’s ok, it’s theatre daaaahhhling

Do you one better: when I saw Les Mis on Broadway it was A musical about life in France, written by a frenchman, adapted (originally) by a different frenchman, and proudly performed in English with an East End/Essex accent…. and performed by Americans faking a British accent. WTF indeed.

Well Loon, you’ll love this: I finally got a ‘not available in this country’ message when hitting the play button. F*******ck.
Guessing it was Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport? based on the first word and next two letters visible before the freaking youtube video gave me the boot.
Gah, learned that tune when I was about 11 or 12 (on a radio show called Dr. Demento here in the states) and still find myself singing it at odd times 🙂
When I was a little girl my mother would sing Waltzing Matilda to me as well. Believe this is another song from Down Under.
Most importantly…. Always wondered what Chunder was in the 80’s Men at work I come from a Land Down Under tune! Always thought I was mishearing Thunder.

You ARE the bomb Red. Grew up in LA, where the Doctor began his broadcasting on 94.7 (Little Bit of Heaven 94.7 tweedle dee) when I was a kid. Met/made friends with him as well. Fuck, feel like the dumbass name-dropper at a party that no one wants to go near. You HAD to mention the Doc and Penn in one day?!
Have all the Demento compilation CD’s (and some vinyl). Happy to torrent them .

Worth listening to Andro, only good tune in the entire ill-conceived production. As Bearman commented, it was 3 and a half hours of crap tunes with 2 or 3 memorable ones.
Just because the lyrics are so wonderfully twisted do I recommend this one.

I do not think I could do an American or English production of Les Mis. I read it in English, and it did not hold a candle to it in French. I can only imagine how much it suffered making it to play, then musical, then Broadway. *shudder*

Red, thank your lucky stars that the damned thing is no longer running. Anywhere. If you have a kid still in HS, and they decide on Les Mis as the annual musical… you know it’s time to move them to a better/worse school

When we were given the choice to do Les Mis, we all passed. We did South Pacific that year. I just cannot imagine! I don’t have but a few left to go through high school. I know one who will not…like me, she could not carry a tune in a bucket on sheet music. The two youngest ones, well, they will not be performing. 😉
