Les Miserables
Call it the Susan Boyle effect, but Les Miserables remains as popular as ever - the songs are memorable, and the timeless theme of the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity is always a winner. Les Miserables makes Victor Hugo’s novel about 19th century France come to life.
Amidst the grinding poverty and social injustice a revolution is brewing, and the central characters have life changing decisions to make. Les Miserables has everything - a poignant love story, drama and conflict, emotional ballads and even a little comic relief provided by the unscrupulous innkeeper and his wife - no wonder it is still considered to be London’s top show.
