Les Miserables School Edition August 15, 2010

Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, 'Les Miserables - School Edition' will be performed entirely by students in grades 9 and above and is accompanied by a live 15 piece professional orchestra. This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and becomes an honest man, the mayor of a prosperous town, and a loving adoptive father - but violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert makes a decent life impossible for Valjean. 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.
