After a bombastic foray onto the silver screen in 2012, the dream Fantine dreamed returns to us in its gloriously familiar live-theatrical form. Cameron Mackintoshs all-new 25th Anniversary production of Les Misérables the longest running musical in the world features glorious new staging and spectacularly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo.
The powerful, five-star musical has only become grittier and more honest in its storytelling since it first débuted at Londons Barbican Theatre in 1985. Based on Hugos classic novel,Les Misérablesis a sweeping and heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit.
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, it tells the enthralling story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantines young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
The magnificent score ofLes Misérablesincludes the classic songs I Dreamed a Dream, On My Own, One Day More, Do You Hear the People Sing?, and many more.
Seen by nearly 60 million people worldwide in 42 countries and in 21 languages, Les Misérables is one of the most popular musicals ever written.
