From Library Journal
This book will please "Le Miz" fans; it's a beautifully illustrated companion volume to the Tony Award-winning musical, providing background information on the life of Victor Hugo and the genesis of his classic novel, as well as details of the conception and production of the musical. Interviews with casts, directors, and producers , as well as a complete libretto , are included. Expect another wave of "Le Miz" fever in 1992; that's when film director Alan Parker is scheduled to release his feature film.

An updated version, please!,
By Archie (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of Les Miserables (Paperback)
The book is good; however, it would have been better, as another reviewer pointed out, had it been written after the 10th Anniversary Concert. I did hear that a "revised" version came out with photos from the concert. Fans of the amazing Lea Salonga would have been happy to get copies of such version.

A nice companion to "The story of Miss Saigon...",
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Book of Les Miserables (Hardcover)
At times this lovely book gets a little slow, but themore than sufficient cast photos and full libretto make up for the lacking of quantity...I only wish Eddie had written this one after "The Concert." The comments would have been limitless. Did we HEAR Lea Salonga? Genius...pure genius. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful
