Les Miserables

Les MiserablesT581577923
Based on elements of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables this musical is one of the most successful around the world. Les Miserables opened at the Palace Theatre on 4 December 1985, following a sell-out season at the Barbican. Jean Valjean, released on parole after 19 years on the chain gang, finds that the 'ticket-of-leave' he must display by law, condemns him to be an outcast. Only the saintly Bishop of Digne treats him kindly and Valjean, embittered by years of hardship, repays him by stealing some silver. Valjean is caught and brought back by the police, and is astonished when the Bishop lies to save him, also giving him two precious candlesticks. Valjean decides to start his life anew. Things go well but 8 years later, an encounter with a face from the past threatens everything he now holds dear..

Edward McEvoy (06Dec21): I had seen the show before in London and found it to be a spectacular, moving spectacle, a real night of musical theatre. This updated version is so much more and so much better. With a cast of seasoned actors plus a sprinkling of great new talent, the whole story is beautifully played and sung with enough emotion to make even a hardened audience shed a tear. With updated scenery and lighting this is the one show not to miss. 5
