The world's longest-running musical is coming to Newbury this summer.
Les Misérables, the multi-award-winning musical based on Victor Hugo's novel, is set to be performed by RARE Productions at the Newbury Corn Exchange.
Les Misérables is a modern classic, first premiering in London in 1985, and features updated orchestrations based on the Tony-nominated 2014 Broadway revival.
The story is set in 19th-century France and follows Jean Valjean, who is released from years of unjust imprisonment only to face mistrust and mistreatment.
Breaking his parole, Valjean attempts to start a new life, but is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert.
The tale unfolds during the Paris student uprising of 1832, with Valjean sparing Javert's life and saving that of a student revolutionary who has captured the heart of his adopted daughter.
The performances will be held from June 11 to June 13.
Showtimes are Thursday and Friday at 7.30pm, and Saturday at 2pm and 6.30pm.
