Be sure to choose and secure your seats as soon as possible, because one of the top musicals from Broadway and West End will only be showing for a limited season in Chicago!
More than 40 years ago, a grand idea was conceived when Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boubil, and Jean-Marc Natel prepared the initial musical screenplay for the stage adaptation, Les Misérables (originally in French). Created from Victor Hugo’s late book of the same name, the plot of Les Mis was adapted and turned into a live stage adaptation as a fully lyricized play, which was a unique approach to stagecraft in that time period.
After a limited season performed in French in Paris, there was already a growing demand to create an English show, and once Cameron Macikintosh discovered the soundtrack, he was so inspired and decided to create an English version in collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Herbert Kretzmer, who invented the English song numbers. The English staging of the musical at first premiered with a two-month period at the Barbican Centre, but as a result of its astounding success and larger audience with the English version, the musical quickly relocated to West End’s Palace Theatre in due time, London theatre's top theater, and ran for close to two decades. Les Mis then moved once more to another location, the Queen’s Theatre (which was eventually renovated and renamed to The Sondheim Theatre in 2019), and continues to run up until today. Adding together all its tours since its inception in 1980, Les Mis is statistically the longest-running musical of all time.
With almost 4 decades in West End alone and not even listing its shows in other cities, especially its well-received Broadway seasons, it is incontrovertible that Les Misérables continues to be incredible in the eyes of the play's attendees. The narrative and the epic musical score, which revolves around redemption, sacrifice, and unrequited love, tugs on a viewer's heartstrings due to the evident emotion behind the mask of each character and act staged. The musical has become so critically-acclaimed that the play has been adapted to films several times and has been met with glowing reviews even on a separate medium.
