Show Thursday, July THE GREEN SHEET 'Mis 'Cats' And More Brighten N.Y . Scene Audiences are anything but miserable when they pay between $40 and $55 to see Broad-way'- s huge hit Les Miserables." Thats the nonscalped price. Based on Victor Hugos classic French novel of the same title, the 1987 Tony Award winner is packing them in and theres no end in sight. Lay Mis, as theater people are wont to call the production, is not your typical Broadway musical. Whatever comedy there is comes in the form of comic relief from one particular band of characters. But for the most part, tears flow as the story of Jean ValJean, Fantine, Eponine, Cosette, Marius and Javert unfolds in three and a half hours that race past, leaving you wanting more. Les Miserables" is another of those English imports you keep hearing about. But the success of English theater in New York is nothing new. There have been some cent revolutions in theater. re- Like the fabulously successful Cats, Lay Mis is an ensemble piece. There is no spoken dialogue. Its billed as a rock opera, but the score can hardly be designated as rock. At least in the traditional sense. Although there are no the story flows beautifully lines, along highlighting the important parts of the novel and touching the hearts of those fortunate enough to have encountered a ticket. While this show is filled with an incredibly talented cast, it will lose lit- tle when others come in to take their places because it was not written with any particular star in mind. The star is the script itself. Those who may have followed theater through the ages no doubt recognize that as the generations move on, there are changes. The success of Cats has fostered a new style of musical. Just as there are obvious similarities in the work of and Rodgers and Hammerstein Lerner and Loewe and others who lit up The Great White Way for several decades beginning in the Forties, what has worked for Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice is beginning to be copied by others. new shows rely heavily on technical advances. A revolving stage, a simple, yet stunn- ingly effective set and incredible lighting effects combine with the talents of authors and performers to set Les Miserables apart. Cats is fraught with marvelous special effects. It makes me awfully curious to see what happens to these shows on the road. If I want to put out the $35, 1 can find out when Cats plays at the Capitol Theatre this fall. If you miss Im Miserables is as close to a spiritul with experience as I've ever had theater.

Micheie Bartmess youll never Les But Cats, forgive yourself. Talented directors have always had a huge impact on theater. Trevor Nunn right now is at the top of his profession. On Broadway today you can see his work in "Cats, Les Miserables and in Starlight While the style of the Express. shows is similar, each is unique in and of itself. York-boun- Les Miserables is a product of this generation, but the story is one of the classics. I used to be able to say, "Dont miss Cats. But since my recent trip to the Big Apple where I saw at least three blockbusters, I'd have to say, save some more bucks and allow a little more time. And for heavens sake, make your plans far enough in advance to get tickets to those you plan to see (at least eight weeks for the big hits). Or if youre wise, get on a tour and get more for your dollars.
