This international smash-hit may be the most popular musical in the world. In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released
from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his
parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a life-long struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by
police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of
1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has
captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter. His world-view shattered, Javert commits suicide, and Valjean at last
attains the peace he has sought for so long. Epic, grand and uplifting, LES MISÉRABLES packs an emotional wallop that has
thrilled audiences all over the world. *Please note this is the Original version of the show with an adult cast.Rated PG

vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. With a
