Les Misérables at Olney Theatre Center

Modern classics don’t come any bigger than Les Misérables, and Olney Theatre celebrates it for the first time in honor of the show’s 40th anniversary. Based on Victor Hugo’s sweeping 19th-century novel of redemption, revolution, and love, the songs of Les Miz conquered Broadway in the 1980s and continue to resonate in this third decade of the 21st Century. Follow Jean-Valjean from his beginnings as convict #24601 to life in hiding, to protector of Cosette, pursued all the while by the relentless Javert, culminating in the revolutionary passions of the 1832 Paris uprising. Join us at the barricade this holiday season, and be stirred by a musical unmatched by its lyrical humor, its calls for justice, and its portrayal of the sacrifices one can make in the name of love. Featuring: Kevin S. McAllister as Javert, Alex De Bard as Eponine, Tracy Lynn Olivera as Madame Thénardier, Jordan Friend as Thénardier, Stephanie Waters as Fantine, Ben Clark as Marius, and more to be announced soon.
