Question: How does one pronounce "Les Miserables"!?
I keep wanting to pronounce it (phonetically typed:) "lay miss-er-ah-blah" but others I know insist that it is pronounced "lay miss-er-ab"!. I'm not sure which it is!.!.!.I guess I figure that since the "les" in the beginning is pronounced "lay", the "les" at the end of Miserables would be said the same way!. Please clear this up for me!Www@QuestionHome@Com
