Les Miserábles
horizontal line

Gut-wrenching, haunting lyrics and songs such as I Dreamed a Dream, One More Day, Red and Black, What Have I Done, Do You Hear the People Sing, Bring Him Home, On My Own, and Little People highlight this Oscar-nominated, dark, well-acted, touching, 160-minute musical, which is Cameron Mackintosh's adaptation of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil's musical based on Victor Hugo's 1862 classic novel, about a stoic French convict (Hugh Jackman) who is released from prison after 19 years in 1815 and then violates his lifelong parole agreement and spends the next 17 years pursued by a doggedly determined, cold-hearted inspector (Russell Crowe) in Paris while keeping his promise to a heart-broken, grief-stricken prostitute (Anne Hathaway) to find her young daughter (Isabelle Allen), who is in the custodial care of a pair of light-fingered, greedy innkeepers (Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen), and raise her into adulthood where as a young woman (Amanda Seyfried) she falls in love with a passionate revolutionary (Eddie Redmayne) during the June Rebellion of 1832.
