BOOK TICKETS

Winner of over 100 international awards and seen by over 65 million people worldwide, Les Misérables is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit.

In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released from years of unjust imprisonment, 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. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter.

Seen by over 130 million people worldwide in 53 countries and in 22 languages, and now returning to the Cecil Hepworth Playhouse in March 2025. South Side Theatre brings you the school edition of Les Misérables, undisputedly one of the world’s all-time most popular musicals.
