Iconic and timeless, "Les Miserables" is a Broadway show that needs no introduction. Over the years, the Victor Hugo story of salvation, love, and sacrifice has touched countless hearts with emotional performances and moving songs.

The revolving stage and stunning barricade festooned with ragged flags provide a visual spectacle that intensifies the sense of tragedy and revolution. The technical mastery, highlighted by period-perfect costumes and gripping lighting, help narrate a story of both personal and political magnitude.

The performances are powerhouses on their own. From Colm Wilkinson’s original Jean Valjean, whose rendition of “Bring Him Home” still echoes in Broadway lovers’ hearts, to Lea Salonga’s poignant Eponine, the characters in "Les Misérables" are brought to life with resounding authenticity and emotion.
