For you newcomers, "Les' Miserables" is a musical based on the novel by French poet and playwright, Victor Hugo.  It was first presented at a Paris sports arena in 1980, but closed after only three months.  In 1983, producer Cameron Mackintosh was asked to produce an English-language version of the show.  The opening night of "Les Miserables" at the Barbican  Theatre on 8 October 1985 was one of those extraordinary occasions when against all odds a theatrical alchemy took place that made everyone forget all the years of work and months of rehearsal - racing against the clock - that went into adapting Hugo's sweeping masterpiece for the musical stage.  After only a week of previews the show simply soared, and both the audience and the cast were elevated to a state of powerful emotion rarely seen in the theatre.

"Les Miserables" starts off in a prison in Toulon, France in 1815.  Jean Valjean is released on parole, but is socially condemned.  The Bishop of Digne offers him food and shelter.  He ends up stealing from the bishop and gets caught by the police.  The bishop lies to save him so he can begin a new life.  He assumes a new identity and becomes a wealthy owner and mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer.  The musical continues to follow him through his life until his death.

The 25th Anniversary of "Les Miserables" was held on October 3, 2010 at the O2 in North Greenwich.  In 1985 and 2012 it won various Laurence Oliver Awards.  In 1987, it won many Tony Awards and Drama Desk Awards.  There are also many non-English language cast albums of the musical.
