Les Miserables at The Kennedy Center

In December 1986, the Kennedy Center hosted the pre-Broadway run of what has become, undisputedly, one of the world's most popular musicals. And now we are bringing her home. Cameron Mackintosh presents the acclaimed new production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg's Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, Les Miserables. Seen by over 130 million people worldwide in 53 countries and 22 languages, this brilliant production has taken the world by storm and has been hailed as "Les Mis for the 21st Century" (Huffington Post), "a reborn dream of a production" (Daily Telegraph) and "one of the greatest musicals ever created" (Chicago Tribune). Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, Les Miserables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption-a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. This epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history.
