On the 30th August at precisely 17:06, a tweet was released by @WestEndCovers (see insert).
West end covers and several twitter users in response; shared disappointment in the popular west end production Les Miserable’s decision. As an admin of a bustling musical theatre forum I am more than aware that several people attend the west end simply for their favourite covers. With no explanation of this decision many have speculated (as wandering minds will) and concluded that the production simply does not recognise the talent of these relentless covers.
With no explanation it is not hard to see why this has been a popular conclusion. Many have expressed disappointment and anger, others going as far to suggest boycotting the production all together.
Les Mis is a brilliant production which follows the events of a French revolution. Besides its first opening period with some pretty controversial reviews – it is undoubtedly a favourite amongst many. We do not believe a few boycotts will harm ticket sales and we do not want it to.
