Jean Valjean stole bread in Les Miserables to feed his family, and he served 19 years in prison. Just imagine if he stole cookies.
In this short video, Cookie Monster (a.k.a "Jean Bon-Bon") and many other Sesame Street characters parody the classic French play with a twist: Instead of bread being the thief's object of desire, it's cookies. Bon-Bon just couldn't keep his hand out of the cookie jar.
The shorter, more upbeat version of this dark Broadway play is filled with tributes to its famous songs ("Cookie On a Cloud"). In the end, the treat-obsessed protagonist manages to stay out of jail, learning the valuable lesson of sharing along the way.
Hugh Jackman did not advise the cookie monster for this role, but he did make this Sesame Street video short in 2010.
