    It's fascinating how, not only have there now been produced two musicals detailing revolutions that were happening at the same time in history, but that they now play next to each other on the same street. Human nature is amazing

    • @Ygnotus
      @Ygnotus 8 років тому +28

      +Joan Flanner It's not at the same time in history. If I'm not mistaken, les misérables starts at the beginning of the 19th century, and is not during the french revolution but during one of the many riots that took place under the new monarchies that came after Louis XVI's. Whereas the American Revolution was at the end of the 18th century.

      +Cécile B While that is correct, Lafayette was present at the June Rebellion (which was the riot in Les Mis).
