''[[Martin Guerre]]'' is a musical by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alan Boublil
The story is based loosely on the French peasant of the same name who was famous for being impersonated over the course of several years by Arnaud de Thil. It is famous for being closed down during its

* [[Angry Mob Song]]- There was a 'knife dance' in the first version, cut in the rewrites. Also, the part the
* [[Based on a True Story]]: See the Wikipedia article on [[w:Martin Guerre|Martin Guerre]] for the original story.
* [[Becoming the Mask]]- Arnaud initially is reluctant to accept his role as 'Martin Guerre' but after a while he grows to love the villiage, his life and of course, his wife Bertrande. By the end of the play he seems to really think of himself as 'Martin Guerre.'
* [[BSOD Song]]-- Martin's part in 'Why' could count.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]-- Benoit. He seems to be mentally ill (he believes a scarecrow to be his fiance) but has occasional moments of extreme lucidity that seem to cast him more as
* [[Cut Song]]- So many, due to the many rewrites. Songs cut between the original version and rewritten version include, 'Sleeping On Our Own' 'Here Comes the Morning' 'Welcome Home' 'When Will Someone Hear' 'Land of the Fathers,' and the beautiful 'Prologue'

* [[Identical Stranger]]- Martin and Arnaud must be, or else how could Arnaud pass for Martin so well? Granted, seven years pass between Martin leaving Artigat and Arnaud returning, but they still must look a great deal like each other.
* [[If I Can't Have You]]-- Guilliame
