This international smash-hit may be the most popular musical in the world. In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a life-long struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter.
Les Misérables is based on the classic novel by Victor Hugo and has music by Claude-Michel Schonberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, and a book by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg. Way Off Broadway’s production will run June 20 – August 23, 2014, and will be directed and staged by the theatre’s Executive Producer, Bill Kiska, with music direction by Jordan B. Stocksdale.
