For four weeks only (tonight, March 10 - April 5), the epic Broadway blockbuster will transform the stage at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre into 19th century France. Survival of the human spirit prevails in this larger-than-life tale of compassion and destruction. Seen by over 70 million people in more than 42 countries, LES MISERABLES has received over 76 awards internationally, including eight Tony Awards and five Drama Desk awards.
LES MISERABLES is a show that Utah knows and adores. With the constant stream of productions in the state since the performance rights were made available, you'd be hard pressed to find a local theatre fan who hasn't recently seen it live. So why see the current production at Hale Center Theater Orem? Because it is, quite frankly, better than any professional or semi-professional production that has been mounted along the Wasatch Front.
