“To Love another person is to see the face of God'' is the spine that supports the driving action of this play. Les Misérables, the musical based on Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, is the epic tale of broken dreams, passion and redemption set against a nation in the throes of turbulent times. It is a message as relevant today as it was when it was first written.
