Company Theatre's LES MISERABLES Opens this Week

The award-winning Company Theatre presents one of the most acclaimed musicals in history, LES MISERABLES, opening this Thursday, July 24 through Sunday, August 17, at The Company Theatre Centre for the Arts, 30 Accord Park Drive, Norwell, MA.

LES MISERABLES book is written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, adapted from the novel by Victor Hugo. The production is directed by Zoe Bradford and Jordie Saucerman, choreographed by Sally Forrest, with music direction by Michael Joseph.

Epic, grand and uplifting, LES MISERABLES packs an emotional wallop thrilling audiences on the global stage. As winner of over 100 international awards and seen by over 65 million people worldwide, LES MISERABLES sweeps its audience through an epic tale of broken dreams, passion and redemption, against the backdrop of a nation in the grip of revolution. In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, only to find a world of mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, but is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert. Set against the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert confronts his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter Cosette. LES MISERABLES is the story of a life-long struggle for redemption, and is a powerful affirmation of the human spirit.
