| You are correct C'Lume. But Les Mis started out spelled this way, because an anglo person doing an abbreviation assumed we all knew that the S was pronounced Z. Then it was made more user friendly as Miz - but both are still used interchangeabley! | |

| The website for Les Miserables worldwide is lesmis.com When the show played Paris, an article in the French Marie-Claire magazine calls the show Les Miz. |

| Oh, I know - I was just saying that in proper French, I don't think "mis" (or even "miz") is actually an abbreviation for the word. So I'm not sure it's really right to say that "mis" is "correct" lol. ;-) | |
