A DiS trip to Les Mis? Musical is 'best ever'
disnews by DiS News August 1st, 2005
DiS News, being the ear-to-the-ground beast that it is, on the ball 24/7, has little time for culture beyond the music biz. However, how's about a little trip down the West End for some musical entertainment? 400,000 people can't be wrong...

Les Miserables has been voted the best stage musical ever by Radio 2 listeners in a poll attracting 400,000 votes. The top ten looks a lot like this:

1 Les Miserables
2 The Phantom of the Opera
3 Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
4 The King and I
5 Sunset Boulevard
6 Evita
7 Chess
8 The Rocky Horror Show
9 Follies
10 Hair

DiScuss: DiS News saw Joseph once, but that was when him off Going Live had taken over the dressing gown honours. No, not Gordon the Gopher. Anyway, where's We Will Rock You, eh? Or that Rod Stewart thing...?
