This author-approved edition has been abridged to a running time of just over two hours, while carefully maintaining the integrity of one the greatest musicals ever written.  Performed entirely by students aged 19 and under.  Not recommended for small children. 

This epic 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 term and not only becomes and honest man, but the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert relentlessly 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.

Originally adapted from Victor Hugo’s timeless novel, Les Misérables, School Edition introduces a new generation to the grand and inspirational story that has touched the hearts of millions. For, within Les Misérables 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.
