Les Miserables at Eccles Theater

Amidst a tumultuous time and widespread rebellion in 19th century France, a convicted criminal known by the name of Jean Valjean breaks his parole after nineteen years on the chain gang. Because of the actions of a good samaritan, he is able to start his life anew and creates a brand new identity as Monsieur Madeleine, in due time achieving a life as a factory owner and a mayor. Though initially lucky in evading the law and his antagonist Javert, Jean Valjean is unfortunately drawn in the dangerous political landscape of Paris, France, wherein he is compelled to find answers that would affect both himself and his adopted daughter, Cosette.

This tale of Les Misérables, one of love and loss, has been produced successfully for several decades in multiple theaters over many different countries. Ever since its debut in its home of Paris in the late 20th century, it has deservingly been referred to not only as one of the most unbelievable plays of this generation, but also one of the most-awarded musicals too. In its global debut by itself, it topped the list of nominees and awardees of the Tony Awards, with 12 nominations and 8 wins. The musical won as Best Direction of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Scenic Design, Best Lighting Design, and Best Featured Actor and Actress in a Musical. Later on, the box office hit continued to garner awards and commendations in its next revivals in Toronto, Australian, and Broadway revivals including from the Dora Awards, Green Room Awards, and Helpmann Awards, and as expected, the Tonys once again.

Currently, Les Misérables has reached an audience of over 130 million people worldwide, touring 53 different countries and performed in a great array of 22 different languages. These accolades are expected to rise exponentially, especially with Les Misérables now also arriving in Utah and anticipated to be shown in George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater, Salt Lake City on Thursday 6th March 2025. With spacious seating, facilities, and stage design that can rival any venue from its previous tours, George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater is assuredly the ultimate choice to host this equally heart-stopping season of Les Mis.
