ABOUT Les Miserables

Now in its record-breaking 34th year, Cameron Mackintosh’s celebrated musical Les Misérables continues to go from strength to strength at the Sondheim Theatre.

A compelling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption, Les Misérables is a timeless musical testament to the survival of the human spirit against all of the odds.

Featuring the songs “I Dreamed A Dream”, “Bring Him Home”, “One Day More” and “On My Own” – Les Misérables is the show to end all shows.

Seen by over 65 million people worldwide in 42 countries and in 21 languages, Les Miserables is one of the world’s most popular musicals.

Now a major movie, Les Misérables is produced by Cameron Mackintosh, adapted and directed by Trevor Nunn and John Caird, written by Alain Boublil & Claude-Michel Schonberg with lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, and based on the novel by Victor Hugo.

Les Misérables is currently booking from 18 December 2019 until 4 April 2020 at the Sondheim Theatre (formerly Queen’s Theatre), London.

WHAT’S THE STORY?

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his quest for redemption.

Having served 17 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread for his starving niece, a kindly Bishop inspires Valjean to begin a new life.

Breaking parole, Valjean is hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert.

When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
