Les Miserables Reactions

Most of the lower class characters have cockney accents in the theater version, too. I think it has to do with the show originating in London and that accent being associated with the lower class in popular culture. I loved Helena Bonham Carter as usual and enjoyed Sasha Baron Cohen. i knew they'd do a great job with those characters.

The musical was originaly french. It was translated into english, and got so popular that people don't even know it was french first.

That's interesting. I thought the London version was a completely different adaptation than the original French one.

According to what I've read, the London version was an expanded and somewhat changed version based on the Concept album done for the French production.
