Round 6: Tossup 8

In a film version of this musical, Colm Wilkinson sang “to love another person is to see the face of God” (10[1])to (10[1])a character he originated on the West (10[1])End. In 2019, this musical’s London-based Sondheim Theatre (10[1])removed its iconic revolving stage despite it being the West End’s (10[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 (-5[1])similar to the beginning of the Act I finale “One Day More.” For 10 points, (-5[1])what (10[1])musical follows 24601 (10[1])(“2-4-6-0-1”), the escaped (10[1])bread thief Jean Valjean, in 1800s France? ■END■
