Les Miserables

Les Miserables at Grand Rapids Civic Theatre

Why see Les Miserables?

Do you hear the people sing?

Don your finest red and black and warm up your voices to sing along with Jean Valjean and the revolutionaries in the epic Les Miserables. Victor Hugo's epic novel, published in 1862 was adapted into musical form in the 1980s and has since become one of the longest-running productions in the world. 

Seen by over 53 million people in 38 countries and 21 languages since its first performance in 1985, Les Miserables is one of the greatest stage musicals of all time, winning seven Tony Awards in the US alone. This local production contains all the highs, lows, and incredible music of the original Broadway run!

What's les mis about?

Jean Valjean is an ex-convict struggling to make his way in the world after being unjustly imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread. An act of kindness from a local priest sets him on a new course as he turns his life around. Flash forward 17 years and Paris is in disarray, the rich ruling class treating the working class with malcontent that none deserve. Tensions reach a tipping point and multiple stories come to a head in the epic musical.

Simply the best

I have seen many Broadway and touring productions of Les Miserables. I have never seen one as well done as this one. Every performer playing every role was magnificent. I have never seen any audience as involved, enthused and appreciative as this one was- going from boisterous applause, to laughter, to absolute silence. Every scene whether solo or ensemble, whether vocal or dance was beyond impressive. The staging and set design brilliantly integrated technology and tradition in a way that added much to the production but never distracted from the amazing talent of all those on the stage. Simply the best ... Read more
