Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg (#149) May, 2007

The team of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (winners of Tony Awards for Best Score and Best Musical for Les Miserables) talk about why they broke from their usual practice of originating their own projects and took on writing The Pirate Queen; how they first began to collaborate in the wake of Jesus Christ Superstar; the immediate success of the concept album and stage version of their first musical, La Révolution Française; what happened in the five year gap between Les Misérables? Paris and London debuts; and why they continue to tweak their Martin Guerre, 11 years after its London debut.
