Set in early 19th-century France, Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is an epic tale of redemption, love, and social injustice. The story follows Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who, after serving 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread, breaks parole to start a new life. Inspired by a profound act of mercy from a bishop, Valjean vows to become an honest man, yet is relentlessly hunted by the dogmatic police inspector Javert, who believes criminals can never change.
Along his journey, Valjean rescues Cosette, the daughter of the tragic Fantine, and finds himself embroiled in a burgeoning Parisian revolution. Amidst the barricades, themes of sacrifice and the struggle between law and grace collide in a powerful testament to the human spirit. This timeless masterpiece explores the profound impact of compassion on a broken society, offering hope against a backdrop of suffering.
Filled with incredible songs such as ‘On My Own’, ‘Bring Him Home’, ‘Stars’ and ‘Do You Hear The People Sing’, Les Misérables remains a perennial classic of Musical Theatre.
