COMMUNITY REVIEWS

My mother told me she likes musicals, but I sure don't, and if I knew this was one, I'd not have bothered. submitted by Tassos on November 20, 2021, 7:32pm A French musical is not as awful as an English one, though. Even a ridiculous one as this one. Among the english ones, "My fair Lady" and "Les Miserables" are both quite good, but most else, especially the pathetic "Hamilton" and the pitiful "Evita" are the "Wurst".
