Les Misérables

Olney Theatre Center presents a new production of *Les Misérables*, celebrating the musical’s 40th anniversary. Based on Victor Hugo’s sweeping novel, the story follows Jean Valjean, prisoner 24601, as he seeks a new life while protecting Cosette and evading the relentless Inspector Javert. Against the backdrop of the 1832 Paris uprising, the musical explores redemption, revolution, justice, sacrifice, and love.

The production features music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, and original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel. It is adapted and originally directed by Trevor Nunn and John Caird, with Stephen Brackett directing Olney’s production.
