From now until June 14, the Great American Melodrama in Oceano will host Less Miserable, a comedic parody of the iconic play Les Misérables, based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel.
“We keep all of the plot points,” said John Keating, artistic director for the Melodrama. “We’re telling the whole story of Les Misérables.”
Keating said one way the Melodrama’s version spoofs the original play is through contemporary music with adjusted lyrics to fit the story. For example, he said audience members will hear “Every Breath You Take” by The Police as Inspector Javert chases Jean Valjean outside the prison.
Jordan Richardson said it took him about six months to write Less Miserable.
“There’s something for everybody in the audience,” said Richardson, who also plays the piano for the play. “Anytime someone can smile through a death, I’ve done my job.”
“This play is filled with laughs,” Keating said. “Some of the jokes are in reference to the original, but most of the jokes are funny because they’re situational. You do not need to know Les Misérables to enjoy this story.”
The Melodrama is located at 1863 Front St. and is open Wednesdays to Saturdays from noon to 5:30 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4:30 p.m. Tickets range between $30 and $38. For more information, call (805) 489-2499, or visit amercanmelodrama.com. m
