Theatre Palisades Youth/Teens presents Les Misérables School Edition, an adaptation of the Tony Award–winning epic French musical. Led by Director Lara Ganz and with a cast of more than 50 youth actors, ranging in age from 7 to 17, Les Misérables recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th-century France. Arrested for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean spends 19 years in prison. Upon his release, he becomes an honest man, the mayor of a prosperous town, and a loving adoptive father — violating his parole in the process and causing him to be relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert. Only after a student uprising, when Valjean saves the life of a young man who's in love with Valjean's adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed. Come see this talented youth cast perform one of the most popular musicals ever, featuring one of the most memorable scores of all time!
