The musical first opened at a Parisian theater in 1980. The production only lasted a few months before it was forced to close. The soundtrack made it to Cameron Mackintosh, who decided to adapt it to English and present the musical in London. His production opened in 1985 and enjoyed immediate and lasting success. The curtain went up on the Broadway production in March 1987. It received critical acclaim and was a hit with the audiences. The musical's success earned it a North American tour that began in late 1987.
