Les Misérables opens at Cottage Theatre on April 10
Cottage Grove, OR — Opening at Cottage Theatre on April 10 is the epic musical of survival and redemption, Les Misérables. Based on the 19th century French novel by Victor Hugo, this musical was written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg. The show premiered in London in 1985 and on Broadway in 1987, where it won the Tony Award for Best Musical. It has since won over 100 international awards and been seen by more than 65 million people worldwide.
Les Misérables is a monumental story about the survival of the human spirit. In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a life-long struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Epic, grand, and uplifting, Les Misérables packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled people all over the world.
