露露和oliver 两个音乐剧老粉为你讲述那些经久不衰的musical 背后的故事

Now on with the show

Welcome to the sound of musicals

Our new musical segment

In this new segment

The sound of musicals i will be joined by oliver

Who is as you know a musical enthusiast

And has also had years of practice in amater theare groups

Welcome back oliver

Hello

Thank you for having me back

And are you excited that we're going to talk about prsicals and different types of musicals

I am so excitist i could talk about musicals for a very very long time

So this

This is a very good thing for me to be doing right now

Yeah Great

I mean this is why we actually started a new segment just from musicals

But first of all why do you like musicals

So much i like musicals

I think so even though you ll stories that we relate to modern

You know sort of a llstororbut

But has more than opopmistic size to it

So even though bad things are happening

The music c is normally optimistic or joyful

So it takes away some of the seriousness and sadness

Which i like

Because it's a very good way to relax and to enjoy the music and the show and the story

You are listening to or watching especially compared to opera

Oopera is always so serious

Opera is a very serious and very difficult thing to do

Yes

So musicals are definitely more for relaxing

She told me before you like there might did you like them

The reason

I like musicals partially is because what you said they are very happy tunes

Very catchy tunes

And i don't know musicals just put a smile on my face

I wouldn't say i'm a huge music fan in general

I don't listen to a lot of music

I listen to audio books more

But musicals is one thing that i would love not just listening to them

But as so so a lot of the musicals that worth really going to the theare to see

I definitely yes

Everything is very very different in the theatre

Yeah exactly mamagical

But having said that our first musical of choice

That the first musical we're going to talk about in this new segment is not as joyful is it no

It's not

This is possibly my favorite musical

But it's the opposite of everything

I just said about why i like musical les so it's a very strange one

Yes

It's fantastic uh

I think some of our audience will be able to guess

And then oliver you can tell us the name of the musical

Of course

Well

I'm show lots of people already know

But the musical today is lamisiarableum

Lamisiarabber er the french pronounced it limia hobber right like was the r abblla or english speakers would just say limiz ababbler or lamiis

Yes

This is what i've heard

Today i am going to be calling it lamiis

Because it's much speakers than trying to lamiz say the french name and get it wrong so many times

Because i know i don't say it right lamez

Yeah

Because when you see it

It's so easy to just relate to the english word miserable

Yes

If we read it in english

It says less miserable

Which is not quite right lamez for me today

嗯

就是悲惨世界

Well you know that in chinese we just translated into a miserable world or very sad tragic world

Wow

I did not

But that really does describe it very well

So first of all for the audience who have never read the book or watched a movie or actually seen the musical

First of all let's talk about the background of the show

Because it is based on a very famous book

Right

It is yes

It's based on the novel lame is a robber same name um

Which was written by a french man named victa hugo in eighteen sixty two

So it's an old book

And it was written close to the end of all of the problems that france had had with the revolution

So victor hugo was there

And he knew what was happening

And he wrote lame is a robber to taltalk about it

Yeah

It's a pretty much a book on realism

It's

Because it's a lot of it is more realistic depiction of the misery that france has

Has been through

如果这本书当时是有一千两百页长

It was originally over twelve hundred pages

It was very long story

It is a very long story

I have the book on my book shelf here

And hits a big book yeah

And a musical version of it

When did it debut w

So the first musical version of lammz was in paris

In nineteen eighty

And that ran only four three months

But then

Then in nineteen eighty five

It was made into an english speaking version of lamuers

And it started in london

And it

It's

I think it stopped a few years ago

But it is the highest the longest running show in the west end

Ever so it was running for more than twenty years

It's definitely one of the most longest running musicals in the west end

I remember few years back when i went to london

I actually saw the poster

It was still showing in the theater

Yes

It showed for a very long time

Because people kept going to see it

It kept finding new audiences

And there was no need for it to take a break

And it's why it's such a popular musical um so oliver can you give us a very very brief summary of the story for our audience

Who have never read the book or seen it

I know is it

It's a difficult test brief is something which you can't really do with lamiis arab

But i will try um so the story follows a man

Named john voulajoon

John Vile

John

He begins the show as a prisoner

Having stolen some bread to feed his sister and her son

Because he was poor right

Because

Because the the time this was set

There was lots of famine

The economy was struggling

So there was no money

There was no work and lots on lots of people

They either turned to crime

Or they had to suffer through horrible times

It was a very bad time of french history

But he steels bread

He goes to prison

And when he gets thought

He has an encounter with a bishop who teaches him about redemption and wants it makes him wants to be a better man

And then it jumps forward in time

Because that happens a lot

And he has an encounter with a working goal called fountain

Oh

I remember in the story

Then shhpzzjang basically started

He work hard and got his own factory

He did yes

So he meets funteen

Because she is one of his workers

She works for him ah

But through the plans of the other girls working with funtain

Funtain loses her job

Um

And didn't this time that is a terrible thing to happen

Especially

Because funteen has a young daughter

Who she has to send money to be looked after

So she needs her job

She needs money

And her daughter is kosetright

When when see lilimiarabablot the poster

That little girl

That child

That's caused that that is cazat yes

That's fftin's daughter cauzat sweeping the floors normally is the the image we c of her yes

And so funting loses her job

She needs money

Where she goes down a sad slope

Where she basically gives up everything

That she has

First

She has her hair cut off

So people can use it to make weegs next they take her teeth

Which is uh very nasty

And then she begins work

Selling her body

Selling her body yes

I was trying to think how to say that one yes

Selling her body and it's a very very bad time for her

And she becomes very very l

Which is when she um for me

One of the best parts of the lami's movie certainly was i dreamed to dream it's funteen

When she is very l and the bottom of life

She sings that song

And it's

It's very very moving

Yeah

We can talk about that later

We will talk about that one later

Yes

John voujohn comes

He finds fonteen

And he starts to look after her

But funteen is too ill

And she passes away

So john vljon travels to find founteen's daughter cosetz

And he starts to look after her

Jump forwards again after her

And he happens a lot in lamas arabbler and cosetz is grown up

And they are living in paris

Now this is paris in eighteen thirty or the eighteen thirthirties

And there are lots of groups of people getting ready for revolution

Revolution france has they've already had one one relution in sevensevenand eighty nine

But the people are not happy a game

There is no food

There's no work

There's no money

So the people want to have another revolution to change their country again

And ksett falls in love with one of the revolutionaries called marrius

Um and john val john falls in with these revolutionaries to try and protect marrius

So that kosett doesn't lose her love um and the revolutionaries

It doesn't work for them

They all die fighting against the soldiers of the king of france

Except marrius

So that was how it ended

That was how

This yes it was called the students revolution

Because most of the people fighting were students

They thought they could bring a better world

And this is how it ended was a few groups of people fighting

They hoped that the people of paris would rise up and fights with them

Because no body did

And so it was a small revolution

A very sad time and lots of young people died

They were killed during the fighting

Yeah

I mean the book and the story is sad enough

And then when you put it on stage

When you use music like you said to convey desperation at hopelessness

It was very

It's a very powwerful peace

It is very powerful

Especially

When you have the beginning of the revolution with the grand music

And 啊

We will fight for freedom

And

And these messages are being sent

And then

By the end of the show

Only one man marrious is left

All of his friends are gone

All of the other students are gone

All of the main characters are nearly

All of them are yes

Most of the main characters

They don't have a very happy time during this musical

Yeah

Very sad very sad musical definitely it is yeah

So of the very first apples sold of this new segment

The very first episode of our first musical limis

Arabba or laymiz

We talked about so far the story

The background and the history

And in the second part

We're going to actually talk about the conflicts between the characters

Go a little bit more into the characters

And also talk about the music but to wrap today's episode up less
