The story that has thrilled millions is brought to life by the Nelson Youth Theatre Company alongside the Nelson Symphony Orchestra by arrangement with Cameron Macintosh Limited.
Les Misérables beautifully portrays the redeeming power of forgiveness through the story of Jean Valjean, an embittered convict whose life is changed by a single act of kindness. Set in early 19th-century France, the story reaches resolution against the background of the July Revolution of 1832 and it will mesmerize adults and families alike.
