Les Miserables - School Edition

We are very excited to once again bring "Les Miserables - School Edition" to the Orpheum Stage. This show, originally presented by Un-Common in 2002, tells the epic story recounting the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and not only becomes an honest man, but the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean's adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed.

Originally adapted from Victor Hugo's timeless novel, Les Miserables, School Edition introduces a new generation to the grand and inspirational story that has touched the hearts of millions. For, within Les Miserables lies the universal truth "To love another person is to see the face of God" and this message is sure to have a lasting impact on all involved in this production.

The show will be performed at The Orpheum Theater, Foxboro, Ma on Friday April 17th (a school show in the morning and a show in the evening), one show on Saturday April 18th in the evening and a matinee on Sunday 19th, 2009.
