Synopsis: Set in early 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of Jean Valjean; an ex-convict seeking redemption while being pursued by the rigid Inspector Javert. After breaking parole, Valjean builds a new life and becomes the guardian of Cosette, the daughter of the struggling factory worker Fantine. Their journey intersects with a diverse ensemble of characters: the cunning Thénardiers, who exploit those around them for survival; Marius, a passionate young student who falls in love with Cosette; and a group of idealistic revolutionaries, led by Enjolras, who fight for change during the Paris uprising. Spanning years of personal and political upheaval, the musical explores themes of justice, love, sacrifice, and redemption.
