Les Misérables is one of the world’s most well established musicals and has been seen the world over by more than 55 million people.
However, it was considered to be a flop when it first opened in Paris back in 1980 and it wasn’t until Cameron Macintosh readapted it to suit a British audience two years later that it became a firm favourite amongst theatre lovers.
Based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel, it features a complicated plot set over 30 years in the nineteenth century.
Set with the backdrop of the French Revolution, it is based centrally around Jean Valjean, a man who has felt injustice and class struggle in a political climate which is both unsympathetic and tyrannical.
For merely stealing a loaf of bread Jean is sentenced to almost 20 years in prison but he manages to escape and builds a new and successful life using an assumed identity. However, this does not stop the determined Inspector Javert from pursuing him.
This is a genuine tall of spirit, strife and belief and features an array of well-known numbers including ‘Castle on a Cloud’ and ‘I Dreamed a Dream’, which was recently made famous to a wider audience by Susan Boyle.

Later Fantine becomes pregnant but is abandoned by her lover and subsequently forced to look after her child Cosette on her own.

Les Miserables definitely counts as one of my favourite books, and is, perhaps, one of the best works in all of literature. No wonder Ayn Rand ...
