Les Miserables’ story is set in France in the year 1815. A fugitive named Valjean steals silver from the kind Bishop who offered him food. But upon his arrest, the Bishop attested that the silver was a gift. Hence, Valjean was freed. The bishop’s only request from Valjean was to use the silver to become an honest man. Eight years later, Valjean assumed a new identity, Monsieur Madeleine, a wealthy factory owner and mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer. He encounters a downtrodden Fantine, a former factory worker who became a prostitute to earn money for her daughter Cosette. Fantine was arrested by a police inspector named Javert. Later, he was officially ordered by Mayor Madeleine to free her. Monsieur Madeleine promises Fantine that he will find her daughter, Cosette, who is in the custody of an innkeeper and his wife. Monsieur Madeleine later encounters Javert, who happens to be a former prison guard where Valjean served time. Will Monsieur Madeleine’s true identity be revealed? Will he have time to find Cosette?

You can pick holes in it – yes, it’s terribly sentimental, and illogical – but its grand conception and parade of timeless songs sweep everything else away. The fine new production, I’m happy to say, doesn’t sponge on the show’s reputation. – Newjersey.com
At this point, Les Miserables is entrenched in our culture as a musical for the ages. You can’t beat it with a stick. So just go ahead and beat a path to it. And when you do, notice that on the program, the sole producer named is Cameron Mackintosh. How often does that happen nowadays? Like never? – Huffington Post
Les Miserables” is back, and those irreverent satirists at Forbidden Broadway must be licking their chops. There’s no clunky turntable to mock in this reverential revival of the barnburner musical that Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg shrewdly fashioned from the classic Victor Hugo novel, which ran for 16 years on Broadway. But those excitable French revolutionaries are still storming the barricades, marching in place, and singing at the top of their lungs. And unlike the tentative 2006 revival, this one is a solid piece of theatrical architecture, built to survive every critical arrow shot through its heart. – Variety
