	Night Show Musical #1 - Les Miserables: School Edition Directed by Chris Brindley Book by Alain Boublil Music by Claude-Michel Schönberg Lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer and Alain Boublil Based on the novel by Victor Hugo This Tony award winning 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 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. Please note: Only current high school students (including seniors) may be eligible for this production unless we have specific written permission from Music Theatre International for a few exceptions.
