this version taken from a new High Definition restoration from the original film elements. Jean Valjean (Richard Jordan - Raise the Titanic) a handsome young woodcutter is cruelly sent to prison for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family. Released from prison many years later he faces freedom with an urge for revenge until the benevolent Bishop Myriel takes him in and gives him shelter. When Valjean is caught stealing the Bishop''-s silverware the kindly Bishop tells the authorities that the silver was a gift in return insisting that Valjean must change his ways become an honest man and perform good deeds for others.

Les Miserables is a musical made from Victor Hugo’s book and is the most amazing musical I have ever been to. It is in its own league. This musical is fantastic. You ever have a chance to see it whether at Broadway in New York or in London, you must seize this opportunity. I went to watch this musical a long time ago but I remember it so vividly. It has far from left my memory.
Les Miserables is full of highs and lows, and the magic of it is that ... ...and dishonest people. In Les Miserables you can see lots of different classes of people, not economic classes necessarily but different levels of dignity.
There are stories of hearts full of love that are complete and other hearts that also love but are broken. So many words can be used to describe ideas in this musical; trust, love, sadness, bravery, secrets, treachery, wounds, fighting, beliefs, right and wrong, life and death. I could go on for ...

...Ever since I was little, I have loved musicals. My dream was always to go to London and see hundreds of Musicals in the West End.
Last year I was lucky enough to travel to London and indulge myself in going too see some Musicals, among these were Wicked, Billy Elliot, Avenue Q, and the world famous LesMiserables!
LesMiserables or "Les Mis", is a world famous musical written by the famous novelist Victor Hugo. Set in the early nineteenth century, it follows the lives of various characters through the French Revolution. As with most musicals, the show includes conflict, love stories and love triangles, friendship among various other story lines.

...This is the best musical I've ever seen.
I had thought "The Phantom of Opera" is very powerful and amazing. But I changed my mind after I saw "LesMiserables".
the musical is really fantastic. The way to tell the great story in a short time with lots of music and scene is totally unbelievable. I went to get a soundtrack as I love the music so much.
This is the musical which I'd like to go to see it again and again.
If you don't have enough time in London and have to make a choice, go for "LesMiserables". Forget about "Cats" or "the Phantom of Opera"!...
