While itunes is generally woefully understocked in the musical theatre department, I've come across a rare gem - the 1991 revival of Les Miserable.
From Paris. In French.
Even Amazon doesn't carry it. It's on the pricey side, but I have enough gift money to buy the whole thing with some to spare, so here's my question:
Pretentious? Awesome? Both? Should I do it?
On an interesting side note, they also carry the full London original cast and the full symphonic recording (which is presumably the dream cast, although I'm still not entirely clear what that's all about) but only highlights from the original American cast. If anyone has that particularly recording and would like to lend it to me/send me a digital copy, I'd be much obliged. The UNC Library copy appears to have gone missing.
