Well if you're going to be pedantic, at least get it right - it's "Les Misérables"

Thanks, I didn't know the name for this phenomenon.

As a side note, grammatically "le miserable" is more wrong than "la miserable", as the latter is the right gender but lacking pluralization, while the former gets both wrong :)

Maybe OP was talking about a new show in development. It possibly follows the lives of the lawyers from LA Law who, having fallen on hard times, are forced to steal bread and break spontaneously into song to survive.

(I should have copy paste.) I have read it in Gujarati lang, that's why. (But would love to read original version someday...).
