#1220 THE ABC CAFE - RED AND BLACK World Cast of 'Les Miserables'
Victor Hugo's classic novel was the source for this tale that remains timeless to this day. Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg transformed the literary masterpiece into a musical that is a perennial favourite. The 1988 Complete Symphonic Recording drew together the cream of cast members from various productions around the globe. "Red and Black" is set in the ABC Cafe where the revolutionaries gather to discuss their imminent revolt. It features, among others, Michael Ball as Marius and Anthony Warlow as Enjolras.
 
The site has gained such a marked increase in hits ever since the Top 1200 started, the list has been expanded. It is a ranking made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice.This expanded section now includes songs from the last few years. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
