Performed by a cast of exceptional singers who are students 19 and under, LES MISÉRABLES SCHOOL EDITION is an entirely sung pop opera overflowing with melodies that are already standards.
This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France.

The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean’s adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed.
