Anybody know for certain how to pronounce the name of Alain Boublil, one of the creators of "Miss Saigon"? Could you post an MP3 of yourself pronouncing it?

Thanks much.

I'm finding YouTube.com can be a good resource for things like this. There's a clip of a British talk show host introducing him:

It sounds like ah-LAHN boo-BLEEL to me, which would have been my guess, for what it's worth. He's of Turkish heritiage as a side note.

Just out of interest the talk show host is Terry Wogan, an Irish man who presents the breakfast show on BBC Radio 2. He has highest audience for any radio show in the UK
