Set in early 19th-century France, it is based on Victor Hugo's epic novel of the same name, and tells the story of a peasant and a slew of other characters who get swept up into an ill-fated revolution in the streets of Paris.

Absorbing, Entertaining, Great staging, Great writing, A revised and improved version of this masterpiece!

See it if you enjoyed the first version. But this one is less showy...no revolving stages...and the book excels.

Don't see it if you hated the first one.

Intense, Great acting, Great staging, Profound, Great music

See it if you love intense, thought provoking, gut wrenching, gritty, dark, emotional stories of redemption and forgiveness.

Don't see it if you don't like slow paced, dark, gritty, long shows with intense librettos and sad storylines that includes suicde & prostitution.

Critic Reviews (27)

"Forgiveness, redemption, helping your fellow man, living a life for God, they're all in the new, re-staged version of Les Miserables. The Thenardier's Master of the House is a lot of fun. Joshua Colley's Little Gavroche lit up the stage and engaged the audience with every word and gesture. Don't miss it."

"My biggest concern going into the recently launched Broadway revival/restaging of Les Miserables was whether I would hear the theatergoers around me sing. While each number received a thunderous ovation, the audience remained relatively silent during the songs themselves. But I’m sure I wasn’t the only one belting on the way home from the theater. And I didn’t care who could hear me sing."

"Les Misérables is undoubtedly one of the most heart-wrenching productions on Broadway right now. Early audience reviews have called the revival 'moving' and the performers 'impeccable.' Nearly all recommend that it be seen."
