If you haven't yet had enough of Les Miserables - or have had way too much - you might enjoy what Forbidden Broadway did with it. (slyt)

Or with one of its returns to Broadway.

Because I have food to eat, I can't enjoy Les Miz? That sucks.

Oh I used to have the FB CD...this is fantastic!! My favorite: "It's too high / This song's too high / Bring it down / Please for me / Lower the key" or something like that.

Brocktoon: Because I have food to eat, I can't enjoy Les Miz? That sucks.

It's an ironic line in a comedy revue, not a political protest sign. You're still allowed to like Les Mis.
