Victor Hugo’s classic masterpiece “Les Misérables” storms the stage in an original dramatic presentation of his stirring story as LifeHouse Theater’s 25th anniversary season continues. The play chronicles the astounding journey of Jean Valjean as he falls from grace and rises to redemption amidst the amazing events of nineteenth century France.

“It is a privilege to bring this redemptive story to our stage in dramatic form,” comments LifeHouse President Wayne R. Scott. “Hugo’s characters are richly conceived and the dramatic situations are as powerful as any one will find anywhere on stage.”
