`Les Mis' comes to Centre in the Square
Les Miserables, the legendary
award-winning musical, makes a tri-
umphant return engagement to The
Centre In The Square for two weeks
only. Tuesday, June 12 through
Saturday, June 23.
Presented by Cameron
Mackintosh, Les Miserables is a
musical by Main Boublil and
Claude-Michel Schonberg. Tickets

Based on Victor Hugo's classic
novel, Les Miserables is an epic saga
that sweeps through three turbulent
decades of 19th century France. It is
also the story of one man, the fugi-
tive Jean Valjean, who is pitted
against the cruel and self-righteous
Inspector Javert in a lifelong struggle
to evade capture. Now in its 16th
year in •London and 15th year on
Broadway. Les Miserables has won
50 major awards internationally,
including the 1987 Tony Award for
Best Musical.
The $4.2 million production com-
ing to Kitchener replicates the
Broadway production in its entirety
and has set numerous attendance
records across the country. Les
Miserables last played The Centre In
The Square in September, 1994, and
was seen by over 25,000 people.
Seen by over 42 million people
worldwide, Les Miserables is one of
the most successful musicals in the-
atre history. The show's global box
office receipts now exceed $1.8 bil-
lion.
There have been over 32,000 per-
formances of Les Miserables
throughout the world, in 38 produc-
tions, in 29 countries and 18 lan-
guages. There have been 31 cast
recordings of the musical, including
the multi-platinum original London
cast album, the Grammy Award-win-
ning Broadway cast recording, the
Grammy Award-winning complete
symphonic version, and London 10th
Anniversary Concert Recording.
