People say that French and Americans have a healthy distaste for one another, but judging by the blockbuster musical Les Miserables, that might not be true. Based on a novel by Victor Hugo, the musical's popularity has increased steadily over the years, especially after its award-winning 2012 film version. The main character, Jean Valjean, decides to break parole and redeem himself after serving 19 years in prison for a victimless crime. Unfortunately for Valjean, he's relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert, as he becomes swept up in the French Revolution. His quest for freedom transcends nationality and time period in this moving stage version by 3B Productions.
