Les Misérables

Uihlein Hall sees a new production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award-winning musical endearingly called Les Miz. Its plot is well-known—the story of a man imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a mere half-loaf of bread to feed his sister’s starving child seeking redemption, justice and a new life amid the background of revolutionary France. Les Miz has been staged in some 44 countries and seen by more than 70 million people. (John Jahn)
