A DREAM PRODUCTION of LES MISERABLE MATINEE PERFORMANCE
Thursday 12th September 2024
A great day out for all theatre goers join us to see a
matinee performance of Les Misérables the world’s
longest-running musical, seen by over 120 million
people globally. It flies its flag over London at the
Sondheim Theatre. The current production of Boublil
and Schönberg’s classic has been hailed as ‘Les Mis for
the 21st Century’ with new sets, costumes and video
design. Its heart-wrenching, life-affirming story of
redemption and revolution makes it one of the best
musicals in the West End. The show follows former
convict Jean Valjean, who spent 19 years in jail for
stealing a loaf of bread. Revolution is in the air in France
as Valjean breaks his parole to start a new life, while the
merciless police inspector Javert hunts him down.
Adapted from French author Victor Hugo’s novel, there are many iconic songs in the Les Misérables musical including “One Day More”, “I Dreamed a Dream” and “Bring Him Home”.
