Lea Salonga has done everything from playing Kim in the original production of Miss Saigon, to playing Fantine and Éponine in Les Misérables. She has also released 12 of her own albums. Claude-Michel Schönberg is a French record producer, actor, singer and musical theatre composer with a prolific career in music.

Musical director, composer and arranger Daniel Edmonds has written music for both screen and stage. He was the musical director of the musicals King Kong, Strictly Ballroom and Dream Lover, as week as the award-winning show Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. He's also worked closely with Lea on various projects, such as writing the music for her 2020 single Dream Again, which was released to raise funds for Covid-19 charities.

Frenchmen lyricist Alain Boublil and composer Claude-Michel Schönberg have boldly applauded Lea Salonga and other Filipinos for their exemplary performance in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables. Les Miserables is London's longest-running musical.

No podíamos dejar este musical fuera de nuestros podcasts por más que exista la película y muchos la hayan visto, o incluso disfrutado en vivo en teatro, pero “LOS MISERABLES”, el musical de Claude-Michel Schönberg y Alain Boublil, basado en la novela de Victor Hugo, ya es historia del teatro musical y no por más popular que sea, íbamos a ignorarlo.

LES MISERABLES COMPOSER: Claude-Michel Schonberg LYRICIST: Herbert Kretzmer BOOK: Alain Boublil, Claude-Michele Schonberg, Jean-Marc Natel SOURCE: Victor Hugo's novel Les Miserables (1862) DIRECTOR: Trevor Nunn and John Caird CHOREOGRAPHER: Trevor Nunn and John Caird PRINCIPLE CAST: Randy Graff (Fantine), Terrence Mann (Javert), Colm Wilkinson (Jean Valjean) OPENING DATE: Mar 12, 1987 CLOSING DATE: May 18, 2003 PERFORMANCES: 6,680 SYNOPSIS: Jean Valjean is a convicted thief who attempts to rebuild his life with a new family while being mercilessly hunted by the pious Inspector Javert. As these two men battle for their souls, the Paris streets are littered with a political revolution that will forever alter the lives of these two men.  Robert Meffe traces the development of Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, and Herbert Kretzmer's epic mega-musical, Les Misérables through inception and how it created the template for musicals that would successfully fuse their scores with popular musical forms. Significantly, the creative team of Trevor Nunn and John Napier struggled to adapt the French novel's storyline in a way that would resonate with a contemporary British audience both in pacing and the application of universal themes. The show's success inspired a fleet of musicals whose plots waxed epic including The Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, and Titanic.

This Christmas, to celebrate 50 years since Jesus Christ Superstar first opened on Broadway, we've dedicated an entire episode to unwrapping its magic. What is it about the rock opera that makes it, as one Times critic wrote, ‘the one masterpiece of Lloyd Webber's career'? Why, after five decades, does it still give pause for theological thought? And how can one piece of music connect such disparate-seeming artists as Dmitri Shostakovich, Googoosh, Lin Mannuel Maranda, and Kanye West? Featuring interviews with Sirs Tim Rice and Karl Jenkins, Alain Boublil, Peaches and Nico Muhly, this is … The Jesus Christ Superspecial.… Buy us a coffee innit: https://ko-fi.com/classicalpod … Follow us here: instagram.com/classicalpod/ twitter.com/ClassicalPod facebook.com/ClassicalPod/

Join us this week for one of the more tragic musicals we have discussed to date; the 25th anniversary performance of Miss Saigon, which shouldn't come as a shock given it's subject topic and that it comes from acclaimed duo Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil of Les Misérables fame. As always we discuss the show in detail, but we also touch on a range of controversies attached within the history of the show, and how it played a role in changing theatre. With a phenomenal cast of Eva Noblezada and Jon Jon Briones, this is a fantastic show, and maybe the best way for Miss Saigon to be experienced, but will this be too much for Danny to take, or will he instead be moved by Kim's struggles and find solace in The Engineer's eccentricities?

Once one of the most popular genres of video games, adventure games have become much more niche in recent years. But thankfully, it's a niche with some absolutely fantastic music!From the mid-80s to the early 2000s, adventure games were at the forefront of narratives in interactive entertainment. In a time before RPGs embraced cinematic CGI cutscenes and voice acting, LucasArts, Sierra, and other adventure game developers were pioneering multimedia in video games, presenting audiences with expansive stories, fully-voiced casts of characters, full-motion video, and some truly memorable “moon logic puzzles.” They also created some incredible music! Join Adam, Hilary, and Jono as they move through adventure game history, highlighting some of their favorite music tracks from classics of the genre (and there might be some talk of musical theater thrown in there for good measure)!Featuring: Hilary Andreff, Jonathan Logan, Adam Luhrs; Edited by Jonathan LoganLinks for this episodeYouTube - How Octopath Traveler Hypes its Boss Battles - Game Score FanfareTracklist0:15:48 - The Magic Meadow (Mark Seibert) - Sierra Soundtrack Collection0:19:43 - Deep in the Caribbean… (Michael Land) - The Secret of Monkey Island0:34:16 - Atrus' Study (Jack Wall) - Myst III: Exile Soundtrack0:37:03 - Grim Fandango (Peter McConnell) - Grim Fandango Remastered Original Soundtrack0:59:36 - Gyakuten Saiban 1~3 Courtroom Suite (Masakazu Sugimori, Noriyuki Iwadare)  - Gyakuten Saiban 15th Anniversary Orchestra Concert1:08:26 - Crusin' (Jared Emerson-Johnson) - Sam & Max Save the World Soundtrack1:48:34 - Adam's Bonus Track!Bonus Background Tracks0:00:39 - Courtroom Lounge ~ Opening Prelude (English Turnabout Mix)(Masakazu Sugimori) - Professor Layton VS Gyakuten Saiban Magical Mystery Music0:02:13 - You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Clark Gesner, Andrew Lippa) - You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1999 Broadway Cast)0:02:31 - Game of Life (Michael Kooman, Christopher Dimond) - Dani Girl (Demo)0:03:14 - Overture (Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice) - Jesus Christ Superstar (1970 Concept Cast)0:03:37 - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (William Finn) - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2005 Original Cast)0:03:57 - Three Coins in the Fountain (Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn) - Forever Plaid (1990 Off-Off-Broadway Cast)0:04:26 - Hot Stuff (Pete Bellotte, Harold Faltermeyer and Keith Forsey) - Disaster (2016 Original Broadway Cast)0:05:13 - Overture (Work Song) (Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil, Jean-Marc Natel) - Les Misérables (1987 Original Broadway Cast)0:05:33 - Prologue (We Might Play All Night) (Heidi Rodewald, Stew) - Passing Strange (2008 Original Broadway Cast)0:06:31 - Karnak's Dream of Life (Brooke Maxwell, Jacob Richmond) - Ride the Cyclone (2021 Studio Cast)1:39:35 - Title Theme - Star Trek: 25th AnniversaryAlbum LinksSierra Soundtrack CollectionVGMdbMyst III: Exile The Soundtrack Our Review VGMdb Grim Fandango Remastered Original Soundtrack Our Review (Original Soundtrack) VGMdb Amazon iTunes Store / Apple Music Spotify Gyakuten Saiban 15th Anniversary Orchestra Concert VGMdb CDJapan Spotify Sam & Max Save the World Soundtrack VGMdb Steam Bandcamp Professor Layton VS Gyakuten Saiban Magical Mystery Music Our Review VGMdb CDJapan Get in Touch:RPGFan.comEmail us: music@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom

Traemos otro musical de Claude-Michael Schönberg con Alain Boublil, el último compuesto y estrenado por ellos, por primera vez fuera de Europa y que no tuvo la suerte que merecía. Se trata de "THE PIRATE QUEEN" basado en la vida de Grace O'Malley, la irlandesa que lideró a su gente contra las tropas inglesas y se enfrentó a la mismísima Reina Isabel I de Inglaterra. El musical aunque se permitía algunas licencias históricas, sobre el papel parecía reunir todos los elementos para triunfar y apostaba por dos protagonistas femeninas muy poderosas, pero tras estrenar en Broadway en 2006, cerró con tan solo 85 representaciones. Vamos a escuchar el musical por el reparto que lo estrenó en Broadway con Stephanie J. Bloch como Grace, Hadley Fraser como Tiernan, Linda Balgord como la reina Isabel de Inglaterra, Marcus Chait como Donal, Jeff McCarthy como Dubhdara, el padre de Grace y William Youmans como Bingam.

What are the lessons behind Miss Saigon? The fabulous tony and Olivier award winning musical from the late 80s and early 90s written by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, with lyrics by Boublil and Richard Maltby Jr., the same dynamic duo who wrote Les Misérables in 1985. The musical premiered at the Drury Lane theater in September of '89 and closed after 4,000 performances a decade later. What was the meaningful message and clever concept that led to such success? To learn more, click here and give a listen! I think the meaningful message behind @MissSaigonUS is that hope of love can help you endure almost anything. Kim is deeply impoverished throughout the play, but holds on to the thread of hope that one day Chris might come back to her. To learn more, listen here! /// Thanks again for your time.

Taking a look at all things Musical beginning with the letter B. Hear about Betty Buckley, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Tracie Bennett, Alain Boublil, Broken Wings, Blood Brothers - all things musical beginning with the letter B.

In this episode, we chat with Mike Zarate about which of life's lessons can be learned from Boubil and Schonberg's second opus - Miss Saigon!"THERE may never have been a musical that made more people angry before its Broadway debut than "Miss Saigon."Here is a show with something for everyone to resent -- in principle, at least. Its imported stars, the English actor Jonathan Pryce and the Filipino actress Lea Salonga, are playing roles that neglected Asian-American performers feel are rightfully theirs. Its top ticket price of $100 is a new Broadway high, sprung by an English producer, if you please, on a recession-straitened American public. More incendiary still is the musical's content. A loose adaptation of "Madama Butterfly" transplanted to the Vietnam War by French authors, the "Les Miserables" team of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, "Miss Saigon" insists on revisiting the most calamitous and morally dubious military adventure in American history and, through an unfortunate accident of timing, arrives in New York even as the jingoistic celebrations of a successful American war are going full blast.So take your rage with you to the Broadway Theater, where "Miss Saigon" opened last night, and hold on tight. Then see just how long you can cling to the anger when confronted by the work itself. For all that seems galling about "Miss Saigon" -- and for all that is indeed simplistic, derivative and, at odd instances, laughable about it -- this musical is a gripping entertainment of the old school (specifically, the Rodgers and Hammerstein East-meets-West school of "South Pacific" and "The King and I"). Among other pleasures, it offers lush melodies, spectacular performances by Mr. Pryce, Miss Salonga and the American actor Hinton Battle, and a good cry. Nor are its achievements divorced from its traumatic subject, as cynics might suspect. Without imparting one fresh or daring thought about the Vietnam War, the show still manages to plunge the audience back into the quagmire of a generation ago, stirring up feelings of anguish and rage that run even deeper than the controversies that attended "Miss Saigon" before its curtain went up." - By Frank Richhttps://www.nytimes.com/1991/04/12/theater/review-theater-miss-saigon-arrives-from-the-old-school.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Saigonhttps://stageagent.com/shows/musical/1590/miss-saigonhttps://www.mtishows.com.au/miss-saigonhttps://broadwaymusicalhome.com/shows/misssaigon.htmhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt6162808/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/17/theater/the-battle-of-miss-saigon-yellowface-art-and-opportunity.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude-Michel_Sch%C3%B6nberghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Boublil

Josh Davis is a Broadway actor, known for playing Javert in the North American tour of “Les Miserables,” and for being in the original cast of “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.” His “normal” is enjoying and being mindful of the process of life and work, and he shares the importance of the process.

Volvemos con el compositor Michel Legrand y su colaboración con el director y guionista Jacques Demy. Empezaron en 1960 con “Lola” como un homenaje a Max Ophuls, en el que Anouk Aimée interpretaba a la cantante de cabaret Lola a la que seguiría “La bahía de los ángeles” con Jeanne Moreau. Luego vendría “Los paraguas de Cherburgo”, la primera película totalmente cantada y “Las señoritas de Rochefort” en la que contaron con Gene Kelly y George Chakiris en el reparto. Todavía darían un toque de musical a su siguiente película “Piel de asno”, basada en el cuento de Perrault, con toques de incesto, cerrando así esta trilogía de musicales que protagonizó Catherine Deneuve. Aún habría otras películas como “No te puedes fiar de la cigüeña”, “Lady Oscar”, “Parking” o “Tres entradas para el 26”, de las que hemos incluido canciones o suites arregladas y dirigidas por Michel Legrand para profundizar un poco más en la versatilidad de este compositor. Legrand escribió “Yentl”, un musical para el cine que dirigió y protagonizó Barbra Streisand con el que ganó el Oscar a la mejor partitura y a la mejor canción original. También escribió musicales para el teatro como “Le pase muraille” estrenado en Broadway con el título de “Amour” que hemos tratado en el “Cuéntame un musical” de este mes. Terminamos con su último musical “Marguerite” basado en “La dama de las camelias” de Alejandro Dumas hijo, pero situado en París en tiempos de la ocupación nazi. El libreto y letras los escribieron Alain Boublil y Claude Michel Schönberg, los exitosos autores de “Los Miserables” y “Miss Saigon”, que se estrenó en 2008 en Londres.

DO YOU HEAR THE STUDENTS SING?The French Revolution will come to life in vivid detail and song as Toledo School for the Arts presents the much-loved musical Les Misérables: School Edition for four performances from Thursday, October 17 through Sunday, October 20 at Owens Community College.Based on the Victor Hugo novel of the same name, Les Misérables follows the story of recently released convict, Jean Valjean, as he discovers that his freedom is tainted by mistrust and abuse. He breaks his parole and is pursued by the persistent Inspector Javert who refuses to believe that a convict could change for the good. Jean Valjean assumes a false identity to raise his adopted daughter, Cosette, but the Paris Student Uprising (1832) forces both he and Javert into direct confrontation. Each must acknowledge the truth of their pasts and learn to accept the change that time brings…or not.The production is directed by TSA faculty, led by Amelia Lefevre. The cast members are all students from Toledo School for the Arts featuring Trevor Gill-Snow (Whitehouse) as Jean Valjean, Reuben Hagedorn (Oregon) as Javert, Olivia Gierke (Oregon) as Fantine, Max Gierke (Oregon) as Marius, and Casey Merren (Oregon) as Eponine.TSA productions are noteworthy for the quality of student performances, where students craft their skills daily. “The level of performance is surprisingly good”, explains Artistic Director David Saygers. “Sometimes it’s hard to remember these are high school students, juggling homework and shows. Many of the performers are veteran actors, and bring a great deal of confidence and poise to their roles.”Performances begin at 7:00pm on Thursday, October 17, Friday, October 18, and Saturday, October 19 as well as at 2:30 on Sunday, October 20 at the Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts (30335 Oregon Road, Perrysburg, OH 43551).

Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean’s adopted daughter.

Claude Michel Schonberg y Alain Boublil tras estrenar "LOS MISERABLES" en Londres y de nuevo con Cameron MackIntosh se embarcaron en "MISS SAIGON", un musical que se convertiría en uno de sus mayores éxitos,  completamente actual denunciando los desastres de la guerra y la desgracia de las víctimas que deben huir de la muerte abandonando su hogar, sin más esperanza en el horizonte, que la de sobrevivir. Con una partitura en la que combinan baladas con temas potentes para subrayar la hermosísima historia de amor con la brutalidad de la guerra o los desfiles militares, consiguen contarnos una historia donde todo el texto es cantado y controlan perfectamente la emoción en el patio de butacas, combinando escenas íntimas con otras espectaculares, dando un acabado redondo al musical que mezcla sabiamente romanticismo, humor, drama, denuncia, sacrificio y ternura. La versión que hemos utilizado en el podcast es la de la versión del 25 aniversario de su estreno con Alfonso Casado como director musical y el siguiente reparto: Jon Jon Briones (Ingeniero) Eva Noblezada (Kim) Alistair Brammer (Chris) Hugh Maynard (John) Tamsin Carroll (Ellen) Rachelle Ann Go (Gigi) Kwang-Ho Hong (Thuy) Espero os guste 00h 00'00" Presentación 00h 04'18" Cabecera 00h 05'30" Inicio 00h 06'46" Overture / Backstage Dreamland 00h 09'22" The heat is on 00h 14'35" The movie in my mind 00h 20'16" The dance 00h 22'44" Why God why? 00h 27'43" This money yours / Sun & Moon 00h 34'06" The wedding ceremony 00h 37'06" Thuy's arrival 00h 39'43" Last night of the world 00h 44'00" The morning of the dragon 00h 52'00" I still believe 00h 57'14" You will not touch him 01h 01'20" If you want to die in bed 01h 05'32" Let me see his western nose 01h 09'08" I'd give my life for you 01h 14'28" Entr'acte 01h 16'19" Bui Doi 01h 20'33" The revelation 01h 24'43" Too much for one heart 01h 27'01" Chris is here 01h 30'46" Kim's nightmare 01h 42'31" Room 317 01h 46'11" Maybe 01h 50'10" The confrontation 01h 56'57" The American dream 02h 05'50" Finale 02h 12'06" Curiosidades 02h 17'17" Her or me 02h 20'57" Now, that I've seen her 02h 23'54" The sacred bird 02h 27'55" Conclusión Espero haber sabido transmitiros la fuerza que tiene para mi este musical y si queréis profundizar sobre el mismo os remito a otros artículos publicados en la web donde encontrareis entrevistas, biografías, imágenes y videos que ayudarán a redondear la imagen que os llevéis del mismo, además claro está de como os digo en el podcast haceros con la grabación en DVD o Blu Ray del musical.

Sin duda Claude Michel Schönberg es con Andrew Lloyd Webber el compositor de musicales más famoso de Europa. Schönberg con “Los Miserables” y Lloyd Webber con “Cats” hicieron temblar a los que creían que el teatro musical era patrimonio de los americanos. Las preventas en Broadway de “Miss Saigon” o “El Fantasma de la Ópera” superaron todas las expectativas demostrando que en el campo del musical no todo estaba dicho. Llegaban nuevas voces que conectaban con el gran público como no se conocía desde mucho tiempo atrás. Cuando Alain Boublil escuchó en la radio una canción que le gustó llamó a la emisora interesándose por el nombre del compositor de la misma y así surgió el “principio de una bonita amistad”. Ambos compartían la afición por la ópera y por el teatro musical y hoy en esta playlist vamos a dar un repaso a los musicales de Schonberg y Boublil. "La revolution française" (1973) fue el musical en el que Alain Boublil, que escribia las letras con Jean-Max Riviére llamó a Schönberg para que se encargase de la música con Raymond Jeannot. Aquel sería su bautismo en el campo del musical que les animaría a escribir un musical ellos dos solos. Y así llegarían Los Miserables (1978), "Miss Saigon" (1989), "Martin Guerre" (1996) y "The Pirate Queen" (2007) y hemos preparado una playlist de forma que te contaremos un poco de cada musical antes de dejarte algunos de los mejores temas del mismo en las voces de Hugh Jackman, Anthony Warlow, Michael Ball, Lea Salonga, Susan Egan, John Owen Jones, Jonathan Pryce, Simon Bowman, Claire Moore, Peter Polycarpou, Russell Watson, Marie Zamora, Rebecca Lock, Ian Glen, Joanna Riding, Jerome Pradon, Stephanie J.

It's Thursday, and theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom in the studio with another of her weekly reviews of the region's thespian offerings. Today, she spotlights the new traveling production of Miss Saigon, on stage now at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.From the creative team behind Les Misu233urables, Miss Saigon tells the story of a young Vietnamese woman named Kim (played by Emily Bautista).

Les Miz s back. (Did you know it had ever gone away?) The original Cameron Mackintosh theatrical colossus ran for more than 15 years before closing in 2003, then came back for a brief encore in 2006.  Les Miserables returns again with the same producer (Mackintosh), same score (Alain Boublil and Jean-Michel Schönberg) and even the same theater (the Imperial on West 45th Street), but in what is described as a “new production” directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell. After two runs on Broadway, countless school and community theater productions and the Oscar-winning 2012 movie, what, exactly, is new in this production? And who is it for?

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the composer of the hit musicals Les Miserables and Miss Saigon, Claude-Michel Schönberg. Claude-Michel always knew he would be a composer. As a small boy growing up in Brittany he would play the piano and compose pieces for his mother. He dreamt of getting away from his little village on the French coast and going to live in Paris and compose operas.To please his mother Claude-Michel went to University to study mathematics, but whilst he was there he formed a band and began writing songs. They caught the attention of an EMI A&R man which resulted in two singles and a job for Claude-Michel as an A&R assistant. Claude-Michel enjoyed a brief career as a pop star, when he had a huge hit in France with Le Premier Pas (The first date) - a song that is still played on the radio there today. During this time he had met lyricist Alain Boublil who had been impressed with his pop songs and both were keen to take on a bigger project. The result was La Révolution Française which did moderately well in France. The duo perfected their skills when they went on to create the hugely successful musicals Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and Martin Guerre.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Beim Schlagengehen by Richard Strauss Book: All the Little Live Things by Wallace Earle Stegner Luxury: Grand piano
