''Martin Guerre'' is a musical by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alan Boublil, who are likely better known for their work on ''[[Miss Saigon]]'' and the musical version of ''[[Les Misérables (Theatretheatre)|Les Misérables]]''. Like those works, this one emphasizes operatic style and features little spoken dialogue.
 
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 orignal run for a 50% rewrite of the show, completing a pretty successful run, then being rewritten almost completly for a UK revival (resulting in two seperate offical recordings that could almost been considered two different musicals) then being rewritten AGAIN for a US tour...and Boulbil&Schonberg are STILL tinkering with it.
