These adaptations, while smaller in size, retain all of the scope and glory of the originals and are orchestrated specifically for performance by high school and youth organizations. StoryBook Theatre believes in its responsibility to educate both the families involved in the production as well as those in the audience. In line with this we wish to make you aware that Les Miserables deals with mature themes including death, prostitution, crime, suicide, revolution and occasional mature language and sexual innuendo. With that in mind, Les Mis may not be suitable for younger audience members. Parents are encouraged to research the musical before making a decision about bringing young children.

PERFORMED ENTIRELY BY STUDENTS Come get swept away as StoryBook Theatre joins this classic battle for Freedom, Truth, and Love! “Les Misérables”, the show, is a masterful musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s classic novel. As stories go, they don’t come more epic than Les Miserables. 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, Cosette, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed. | |
