Les Miserables

 

Les Miserables an international award winning musical has been going for a record 25 years and is still going strong today. It sweeps its audience through a tale of passion, the gripping political revolution of 19^th century France, and music that is so unforgettable that you come out of the theatre wanting more.

 

Les Miserable was first opened in the prestigious Palace Theatre Shaftsbury Avenue in 1980, and moved to The Queen’s Theatre enthralling audiences today as it did then. Les Miserables fondly known as Les Miz is one of these musicals that you want to see over and over again because the love song’s pulls at your heart strings and the  revolutionary overture gets your blood pumping and foot tapping with the production.

 

This remarkable production adapted from the classic novel by Victor Hugo is a tale that you will never forget. Pursued relentlessly by a policeman ‘’Javert’’ who only knows Jean Valjean as prisoner 24601 wants only to see him behind bars for breaking his parole. The chain gang sang by Valjean and Javert  moves you to the core.

 

The story follows Valjean over a decade of political revolutionary France being befriended by Bishop Digne who gives him his first break and the opportunity to turn his life around.

 

That is exactly what he does and we see him working hard to become the owner of a factory and mayor. Intending on helping others he agrees to raise the daughter ‘’Cosette’’, of a dying prostitute, ’’Fantine’’, who is being cared for by the Thenardiers, a crooked couple intent on exploiting anyone who comes in contact with them. Here we meet little Cosette singing a moving solo of Castle on a cloud. If you have a dry eye you are not human.

 

Valjean and Cosette flee to Paris and after an uneventful few years, Cosette now a young lady falls in love with student Marius, involved with the revolution. Making Cosette happy and keeping her safe is paramount to Valjean and with this in mind he gets involved with the revolution party and there finds himself having to safe his arch enemy ‘’Javert’’ from the hands of the student who discover that he is a spy. Javert not being able to cope with his conflicting feelings of justice and feeling beholding to Valjean for showing him mercy, kills himself.
