Epic, grand and uplifting, Les Misérables packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. The story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year prison term and not only becomes an honest man, but the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean’s adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed.

Rated as one of the top Broadway and London stage shows of all time, this edition contains all of the original songs that have captured people’s hearts in countless productions. Originally adapted from Victor Hugo’s timeless novel, Les Miserables, School Edition introduces a new generation to the grand and inspirational story that has touched the hearts of millions. For, within Les Miserables lies the universal truth “To love another person is to see the face of God” and this message is sure to have a lasting impact on the cast, crew and audience.
