LES MISÉRABLES is the third longest-running
show in Broadway history and will, on October
9, pass the 21 year old record of Cats in
London to become the longest-running musical
ever on the West End or Broadway with 8,372
performances; a run nearly three years longer
than Broadway’s record-holder The
Phantom of the Opera, all three shows
having been produced by Cameron Mackintosh.
LES MISÉRABLES has been seen by
over 53 million people in 38 countries and
21 languages since its first London performance
in October 1985. The original Broadway production
opened on March 12, 1987, at the Broadway
Theatre, winning seven Tony Awards that
season, including Best Musical. The show
went on to play a total of 6,680 performances.
Based on Victor Hugo's epic novel. Relentless
policeman Javert pursues escaped convict
Jean Valjean over decades through the tumult
of revolutionary France. Valjean becomes
a mayor, agrees to raise the daughter of
dying prostitute and joins the fight for
freedom. None of this impresses the single-minded
Javert, until the day Valjean saves his
life. Score includes "Who Am I?,"
"A Little Fall of Rain," "One
Day More," "Bring Him Home"
and "I Dreamed a Dream."
