Les Miserables Tickets
Without a doubt Les Misérables is and was an instant classic in musical theatre history. . Based on the novel by Victor Hugo in 1862, Claude-Michel Schonberg composed this beautiful piece in 1980 with a French language libretto by Alain Boublil. Les Mis was adapted for the English in about 1982 by Cameron Mackintosh, and opened at London’s Barbican theatre in 1985. At first critics condemned the show for the translation but public opinion overrode the press and the musical brought in record ticket sales. The Broadway production opened in 1987 and ran until 2003 after 6,680 performances! Les Mis has been the third longest running musical in musical history. A fully-reorchestrated Broadway revival then opened in 2006 at the Broadhurst Theatre. In October 2010, the musical became the first in history to have three productions running in the same city (London). The musical illustrates the people of France in 1815, first the hardship and broken dreams, but then the ultimate search for redemption and revolution. Prison sentences, children fighting to survive, prositution, the Paris uprising, a journey to heaven, and hopeful marriages are the common events in Les Misérables.
