Part 2/7:
Amid this curious situation, a fresh French production of Les Misérables at the Châtelet Theater in Paris shows promising signs of turning the tide. With nearly sold-out audiences, this rendition aims to connect with the French public who have historically shunned the musical. The production stars Juliet Ala and Jack Price, who take on the roles of Éponine and Marius, respectively. Notably, this iteration of Les Misérables is performed entirely in French, a factor that resonates deeply with audiences familiar with Hugo’s original work.
