Les Misérables on Broadway

Les Misérables the musical on Broadway in New York is a revival of the Tony Award-winning classic musical loved by many. After being turned into a motion picture in 2012 starring Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe and winning many awards, Les Mis now makes its way back to Broadway. The intimate setting of the Imperial Theater is perfect for telling Victor Hugo’s classic novel. In fact, Les Mis originally ran in the Imperial Theater for 13 years becoming a commercial and critical success. Undoubtedly it shall be the same for the new generation of Broadway audiences!

Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables

Les Misérables tells the story of Jean Valjean who had been imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. Embittered by years of hardship, Valjean must learn the ropes of his new life. This is, of course, easier said than done. Valjean’s story runs parallel to and intertwines with that of the French Revolution where young idealists fight for a better country.

Naturally, Les Mis is also a story about love. Valjean’s adopted daughter Cosette falls in love with one of the revolutionaries and Valjean finds himself caught in the battle of trying to protect her whilst letting her be free. The story is passionate, heartwarming but above all uplifting.

Classic songs: ‘I Dreamed a Dream’, ‘On My Own’ and ‘One Day More’

Since its debut in 1987, one of the most popular songs of the musical has been ‘I Dreamed a Dream’. In the 2014 revival of Les Misérables this song will once again steal the hearts of many. Alongside this popular song, fans will be able to recognize other classics like ‘On My Own,’ ‘Bring Him Home,’ ‘Do You Hear the People Sing?,’ ‘Empty Chairs at Empty Tables,’ ‘Master Of The House’ and many more. And those new to the musical will surely be humming the classic ‘One Day More’ when they leave the theatre. The song, performed by most of the cast, really emphasises the grandness of the story.
