It relates the harrowing, sublime intertwined destinies of men and women against a backdrop of love, sacrifice, redemption and rebellion. LES MISERABLES is also a musical masterpiece by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, created at the Paris Palais des Sports in 1981, directed by Robert Hossein. It is one of the world's greatest successes ever in the history of stage musicals, with more than 70 million spectators, performance in more than 44 different countries and interpretations in 22 languages! The show has run in London without a break for the pas 30 years. Today, I am delighted to be able to present a brand-new stage version of LES MISERABLES in French.
