What's the story?
Set against the bleak and forbidding backdrop of 19th century France during the height of the French Revolution, Les Misérables’ riveting story crosses decades as we follow ex-convict Jean Valjean as he is relentlessly hunted by a ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s young daughter, Cosette, both their lives change forever, as passion, broken dreams, colorful characters and fate cross them at every turn.
Who is it for? Should I see it?
This classical musical is often seen as the step down from an opera, as the whole show is ‘sung through’. However, the catchy music and engaging story make the musical entirely accessible to any age. From moments of high drama and fights of passion to slapstick comedy and funny characters – Les Misérables has something for everyone. The production is recommended for children aged seven and up, due to the subject matter and length of the show. Children under the age of five years will not be admitted.
