Les Miserables at Cadillac Palace Theatre

In the middle of social and political discontent in the historic 19th century French Revolution, a convicted thief going by the name of Jean Valjean breaks his parole after almost two decades imprisoned. Through the actions of a good samaritan, Jean Valjean is able to make his next move and creates a new identity as Monsieur Madeleine, ultimately rising to become a factory owner and a mayor. Though initially lucky in evading the law and his antagonist Javert, Valjean is regrettably involved in the dangerous political landscape of Paris, France, wherein Valjean is compelled to find solutions that would possibly put him and his daughter, Cosette, in danger.

This tale of Les Misérables, full of justice and redemption, has been running for approximately four decades in several venues all over the world. Ever since its first showing in its home of Paris in the late 1900s, it has proven its worth not just as one of the most impressive plays of all time, but also part of the shows with the most awards as well. In its global debut by itself, it topped the nominations and awards of the Tonys, with 12 nominations and 8 wins. The musical won as Best Featured Actor and Actress in a Musical, Best Scenic Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, and Best Musical. Thereupon, the musical’s local and international tours proceeded to gain awards and recognition in its subsequent productions in Australian, Toronto, and Broadway productions consisting of the Green Room Awards, Helpmann Awards, Dora Awards, and as expected, the Tony Awards once again.

To date, Les Misérables has reached a number of over 130 million people globally, visiting 53 countries and produced in a huge range of 22 distinct languages. These accolades are expected to rise exponentially, especially with the global musical soon also appearing in Illinois and expected to be shown in Cadillac Palace, Chicago on Thursday 21st May 2026. With spacious seating, amenities, and stage design that can compete with any venue from its previous tours, Cadillac Palace is assuredly the premier venue to host this surely emotional production of Les Mis.
