To the French, Victor Hugo's classic novel has the status of a national monument, and I was well aware at the outset that such an enterprise would be regarded by the guardians of our heritage as an act of desecration. Nonetheless, I discussed my idea with the composer Claude-Michel Schonberg. It seemed to both of us that here was a most exciting challenge, and a unique opportunity to work outside of the established conventions of musical theatre. Hugo's original text lent itself very well to operatic treat- ment, and after nine months of hard work we had trans- . formed the 1500-page book into an opera libretto of three acts, seven tableaux — together with a detailed description of the music and lyrics of the whole score as we then imagined it. A After much revision we reached the point at which Claude- 2 Michel could go away and start composing and I could begin work on the words. This I did after myself deciding on the subject and title of every song ~ in collaboration with my friend, poet Jean-Marc Natel. bes Les Misérables opened at the Palais des Sports in Paris in September 1980, for an eight-week season. It was extended for a further eight weeks, and would have been extended further still had it not been for other bookings. The first production was seen by over half a million people. In 1982, Cameron Mackintosh heard the French album of Les Misérables, and invited Claude-Michel and 1 to revise our show and create an English version with James Fenton, the English poet and journalist, and directors Trevor Nunn and John Caird. Herbert Kretzmer joined us to create English counterparts of the original French lyries, adding in the process some new lyrics specially for the English production. Les Misérables opened again at the Barbican Theatre, London, on 8 October 1985. It was an instant success, and transferred on 4 December to the Palace Theatre, where it has been sold out ever since. The Broadway production opened to enormous acclaim on 12 March 1987 — Les Misérables the musical, like . Les Misérables the book, has reached a worldwide audience, having played in more than twenty countries to more than twenty million people with many productions still playing and additional productions still to come, This sheet music selection contains thirteen of our favourite songs from the London production. I hope that these words and notes somehow convey the turmoil of France in the 1820s and 30s, and especially the epic, romantic quality of those d times ~so vividly captured by the genius of Victor Hugo ~ that inspired us in our musical recreation ofa literary masterpiece.

Only the saintly Bishop of Digne treats him kindly and Valjean, embittered by years of hardship, repays him by stealing some silver. Valj astonished wh giving him two precious candlesticks. Valjean decides to start his life anew.Gim ~..rAa iW 1823, Montreuil-sur-Mer Eight years have passed and Valjean, having broken his parole and changed his name to Monsieur Madeleine, has risen to become botha factory ownerand Mayor. (No.1, “Atthe End of the Day’). One of his workers, Fantine, has a secret illegiti- \ mate child. When the other women discover this, they demand her dismissal. The foreman, whose advances she has rejected, throws her out. (No.2, ‘I Dreamed a Dream’). e Desperate for money to pay for medicines for her daughter, Fantine sells her locket, her hair, and then joins the whores in selling herself. Utterly degraded by her new trade, she gets into a fight with a prospective customer and is about to be taken to prison by Javert when “The Mayor’ arrives and demands she be taken to hospital instead. ‘The Mayor then rescues a man pinned down by a runaway cart. Javert is reminded of the abnormal strength of convict 24601 Jean Valjean, a parole-breaker whom he has been tracking for years but who, he says, has just been recaptured. Valjean, unable to see an innocent man go to prison in his place, confesses to the court that he is prisoner 24601. At the hospital, Valjean promises the dying Fantine to find and look after her daughter Cosette. Javert arrives to arrest him, but Valjean escapes.1823, Montfermeil Cosette has been lodged for five years with the Thé he litle girl whom ghi1832, Paris Nine years later, there is great unrest in the city because of the likely demise of the popular leader General Lamarque, the only man left in the Government who shows any feeling for the poor. The urchin Gavrocke is in his element mixing with the whores and beggars of the capital. Among the street-gangs, is one led by Thénadier and his wife, which sets upon Jean Valjean and Cosette. ‘They are rescued by Javert, who does not recognise Valjean until after he has made good his escape. The Thénadiers’ daughter Eponine, who is secretly in love with student Marius, reluctantly agrees to help him find Cosette, with whom he has fallen in love. Ata political meeting in a small café, a group of idealistic students prepares for the revolution they are sure will erupt on the death of General Lamarque. When Gavroche brings the news of the General's death, the students, led by Enjolras, stream out into the streets to whip up popular support. (No.6, “Do You Hear the People Sing?’). Only Marius is distracted, by thoughts of the mysterious Cosette, Cosette ls consumed by thoughts of Marius, with whom she love (Nos.788, ‘In My Life’ and ‘A Heart Full of Love’). Valjean realises that his ‘daughter’ is changing very quickly but refuses to tell her anything of her past. In spite of her own feelings for Marius, Eponine sadly brings him to Cosette and then prevents an attempt by her father’s gang to rob Valjean’s house. Valjean, convinced it was Javert who was lurking outside his house, tells Cosette they must prepare to flee the country. On the eve of the revolution, the students and Javert see the situation from their different viewpoints; Cosette and Marius part in despair of ever meeting again; Eponine mourns the loss of Marius; and Valjean looks forward to the security of exile. The Thénadiers, meanwhile, dream of rich pickings underground from the chaos to come. The students prepare to build the barricade. Marius, noticing that Eponine has joined the insurrection, sends her witha letter to Cosette, which is intercepted at the Rue Plumet by Valjean. Eponine decides, despite what he has said to her, to rejoin Marius at the Barricade. (No.9, ‘On My Own’). ‘The barricade is built and the revolutionaries defy an army warning that they must give up or die. Gavroche exposes Javert as a police spy. In trying to return to the barricade, Eponine is shot and killed. (No.10, ‘A Little Fall of Rain’). Valjean arrives at the barricades in search of Marius. He is, given the chance to kill Javert but instead lets him go. The students settle down for a night on the barricade (No.11, ‘Drink with Me’) and in the quiet of the night, Valjean prays to God to save Marius from the onslaught which is to come (No.12 ‘Bring Him Home’). The next day, with ammu- nition running low, Gavroche runs out to collect more and is shot. The rebels are all killed, including their leader Enjolras. mn of a} onin escapes into the sewers with the unconscious Marius. meeting Thénadier, who is robbing the corpses of the rebels, he emerges into the light only to meet Javert once more. He pleads for time to deliver the you o hospital. Javert decides to let him go and, his unbending principles of justice shattered by Valjean’s own mercy, he kills himself by throwing himself into the swollen River Seine. A few months later, Marius, unaware of the identity of his rescuer, has recovered and recalls, at Cosette’s side, the days of the barricade where all his friends have lost their lives. (No.13, ‘Empty Chairs at Empty Tables’). Valjean confesses the truth of his past to Marius and insists that after the young couple are married, he must go away rather than taint the sanctity and safety of their union. At Marius and Cosette’s wedding, the Thénadiers try to blackmail Marius. Thénadier~says Cosette’s ‘father’ is a murderer and as proof produces a ring which he stole from the corpse in the sewers the night the barricades fell. It is Marius’ own ring and he realises it was Valjean who rescued him that night, He and Cosette go to Valjean where Cosette learns for the first time of her own history before the old man des, jotaiag the spirit of Fanting, Epotine and sll thode ho died on the barricades. ee: Sa. g Atthe End of the Day eps HERBERT ERE vn Fenny AUAIN BOUBEICE EAN IARC NATEL.
