Les Misérables

Music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel

Based on the 1862 novel of the same name by Victor Hugo and set in early 19th-century France, it tells the story of Jean Valjean and his desire for redemption. After stealing a loaf of bread for his sister's starving children, Valjean is imprisoned for 19 years. When a bishop inspires him with an act of mercy, Valjean breaks his parole and starts his life anew and in disguise.

He becomes wealthy and adopts an orphan, Cosette. A police inspector named Javert pursues Valjean over the decades in a single-minded quest for "justice". The characters are swept into a revolutionary period in France, where a group of young idealists attempts to overthrow the government at a street barricade in Paris.
