England at the beginning of the 18th century is full of intrigue and luxury, privileges and injustices, love and crime -actually the perfect setting for a musical. Victor Hugo must have had a similar opinion - in 1869 he published whatcame closest to a musical in royal France: a novel that dramatized the very same drama.
