Les Misérables is the world’s longest-running musical — a true modern classic based on Victor Hugo's novel and featuring one of the most memorable scores of all time.

In nineteenth-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 lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe that 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 finally attains the peace that he has sought for so long.

This contemporary reimagining of Jesus Christ Superstar examines the power of collective belief, social media influence, and mob mentality. Set within a world shaped by digital echo chambers, viral narratives, and political spectacle, the production focuses on the crowd as a driving force in the story—exploring how truth can be distorted when fear, outrage, and blind allegiance take hold.
