MEDIA THEATRE'S 'LES MISERABLES' CAST ANNOUNCED

During the Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas season "Les Miserables" (November 19, 2014 to January 11, 2015) brings its power to Delaware County's only professional music theatre. 

It's based on Victor Hugo's legendary novel focusing on Jean Valjean, the French peasant who steals a loaf of bread and spends almost two decades in prison. He is tracked down obsessively by police inspector Javert after he breaks his parole. The Tony winner has one iconic anthem after another in the Claude-Michel Schonberg score with lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel. 

While set during backdrop of revolutionary France, the musical reaches beyond thenarrative of its story into the hearts of theatre-goers with titles such as "I Dreamed A Dream", "Castle On A Cloud", and "On My Own".

The Media Theatre is the only Philadelphia regional professional theatre producing the original version of the show while the revised revival currently plays on Broadway.
