The version of Les Mis originally written, produced, directed and starring Kim Jong Il that I saw was fantastic! What a voice and screen presence!
I bet North Korea will never do a production of Les Mis. They're not big on freedom. Originally Posted by joe bloe

A correction; we have a Tunisian, a Frenchman, and a South African (English) involved in creating this musical. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
