Most musicals today seem to be derivative, a collection of existing hit songs, or Andrew Lloyd Weber productions. And they are all in English. This is really limiting.
Les milles et une vies d'Ali Baba is the type of musical that could and should go global. Sure, it is all in French, but then most classical operas are in Italian, French or German. Just include the lyrics in both English and French in the souvenir program.
The song 'A quoi bon' was a huge hit in France and charted highly.
