Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The story begins in Paris in 1815 and reaches its climax in 1832, telling the story of Jean Valjean\u2019s who is an ex-convict, convicted for stealing a bread for his widowed sister\u2019s children.
As the story progresses, we meet more struggling characters and learn more about Jean Valjean\u2019s feelings of responsibility.
This play deals with themes such as compassion, the law and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>Les Mis\u00e9rables – The musical <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The musical made me laugh out loud and allowed me to put the world aside for the night.
This is a musical in every sense of the word.
Every number shines a light on a different character, their story, and a very talented cast.
In scenes with multiple participants, you can see excellent ensemble work!
The set, the visuals, the light and the way the stage (in particular the offstage area) was used was inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is nearly 40 years since the classic musical \u201cLes Mis\u00e9rables\u201d premiered, it is an award-winning and highly popular show which has been translated into over 20 languages.

I\u2019ll highly recommend to go!
