In short: Poor Parisians take on the rich in 12th year of Victor Hugo adaptation.
In full: There can be few theatre goers left who haven't caught this uplifting musical tribute to the human spirit. With rousing songs and stunningly conceived and realised set design, those who have missed out so far are in for a treat. And for those who keep coming back for more; keep coming, there's always more to enjoy. Fontaine dreams her dream, Cosette cherishes hercastle in a cloud, the master of the house, and the master of the house adds more than a spot of humour.
