LES MIZ welcomes its composer back!

The UK production of long-running international smash hit mega-musical LES MISERABLES is legendary for its unsurpassed run in the West End and the show's composer himself, Claude-Michel Schonberg, stopped by cast change rehearsals earlier this week to supervise the new additions.

The official synopsis of LES MISERABLES is as follows: "Cameron Mackintosh's legendary production of Boublil and Schönberg's LES MISERABLES is a global stage sensation. Seen by more than 65 million people in 42 countries and in 22 languages around the globe, it is still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 29th year. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, LES MISERABLES tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Ex-convict Jean Valjean is hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. Featuring the songs "I Dreamed A Dream", "Bring Him Home", "One Day More" and "On My Own" - LES MISERABLES is the show of shows."
