Album Notes
Music by Claude-Michel Schonberg. Lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr. & Alain Boublil, adapted from original French lyrics by Alain Boublil.Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg's followup to Les Miserables is another sung-through operetta with a serious theme and a classic source: They have placed Madame Butterfly in the waning days of the Vietnam War. Jonathan Pryce stands out as a pimp named the Engineer in this London cast recording, and the score has the same rock feel as Schonberg's Les Miserables music. ~ William Ruhlmann
