'Les Misérables' at Kelsey Theater

Do you hear the people sing?

Soon you will be able to at Kelsey Theater, where "Les Misérables" will open on March 28.

Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, "Les Misérables" takes us on the journey of Jean Valjean, an honest man driven to steal a loaf of bread. It’s an act that has far-reaching consequences, condemning Valjean to hard labor for almost two decades. As he sets about to start a new life, Valjean finds that he cannot keep his past totally at bay. Javert, a police inspector with an unbending sense of justice, continues to track him relentlessly. The characters’ personal sagas are set against the backdrop of revolutionary France as “Les Misérables” compellingly addresses themes of love, freedom, sacrifice, honor and the nature of justice.
