Les Misérables, one of the world's greatest literary classics, sold out its first edition the day it went on sale in 1862. Since then, it has never been out of print. It has been filmed countless times and the musical is currently starting its 38th year running on London's West End. The musical and the films have won many Tony and Academy Awards.
Les Misérables’ written by Victor Hugo (who also wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame), is a timeless classic that is beloved by all the world over. It’s a story of redemption, love, justice, and encourages hope in the face of adversity, as it follows the life of the noble peasant, Jean Valjean, an ex-convict imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread for his starving family, who is on the run from the relentless Inspector Javert. The story is as old as time... a battle between good and evil, and follows Jean Valjean from 1815 to the barricades during the Paris uprising of 1832. This gripping play version has been specifically designed for very simple production and is under two hours. Filled with fascinating vignettes of nineteenth century France, we meet the tragic Fantine and her daughter Cosette, the wretched Madame Thenardier, the lovelorn Eponine, and many others.
