STAGE TUBE: Watch LES MISERABLES Lightsaber Showdown

By: Sep. 13, 2013



In the video, the epic showdown between Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert gets even cooler with lightsabers and force powers! Chance McClain, the creator of the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog fan prequel Horrible Turn, is back with this epic imagining of the showdown featured in Les Miserables' The Confrontation. It's hard to sing when you have a lightsaber to your throat!

LES MISERABLES has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, with an English-language libretto by Herbert Kretzmer. Set in early 19th-century France, it is the story of Jean Valjean, a burly French peasant of abnormal strength and potentially violent nature, and his quest for redemption after serving nineteen years in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread for his starving sister's child. Valjean decides to break his parole and start his life anew after a kindly bishop inspires him to, but he is relentlessly tracked down by a police inspector named Javert. Along the way, Valjean and a slew of characters are swept into a revolutionary periodin France, where a group of young idealists make their last stand at a street barricade.
