Round 7: Tossup 8

In a film version of this musical, Colm Wilkinson sang “to love another person is to see the face of God” to a character he originated (10[1])on the West End. In 2019, this musical’s London-based Sondheim Theatre removed its iconic revolving stage despite it being the West End’s (-5[1])longest-running musical. On lyrics added since its West End cast recording, this musical’s antagonist repeats the same note while singing “this I swear by the stars.” This musical’s West End overture once started with a high descending motif similar to the beginning of the Act I finale “One Day More.” For 10 points, what musical follows 24601 (“2-4-6-0-1”), the escaped bread thief Jean Valjean, (10[1])in 1800s (10[1])France? ■END■ (10[1])
