September 10 - October 12 Based on a novel by Victor Hugo Lyrics by Hebert Kretzmer Orchestrations by James Fenton. Winner of eight Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, Les Misérables packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. The Playhouse’s star-studded production will feature Andrea McArdle, recreating her Broadway role of Fantine, Boston-area performers Ryan Landry, and Mary Callanan, and Alexis Kalehoff! Playhouse audiences will remember Landry’s inimitable performance as Edna in the 2007 production of Hairspray while Andrea McArdle makes her triumphant return, having graced the Playhouse stage in 2006’s Cabaret. In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a life-long struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean’s adopted daughter. His world-view shattered, Javert commits suicide, and Valjean at last attains the peace he has sought for so long. Epic, grand and uplifting, Les Misérables has been seen by over 54 million people in 38 countries and 21 languages since its first London performance in October 1985. It is its powerful affirmation of the human spirit that has made Les Misérables a popular masterpiece, often called the Greatest Musical of all time! Show Times &
