WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Signature has been granted special permission from producer Cameron Mackintosh to produce a brand-new version of Les Miserables by creating an environmental staging that combines the epic scale of 30 actors, 138 costumes, a Broadway-sized 14-piece orchestra, and a five-ton steel set with the intimacy of a 280-seat theater.
Based on Victor Hugo's 1892 novel, the musical is a passionate saga of love and betrayal set during the upheaval of post revolutionary France. The score includes songs such as "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," and "One Day More."

Les Miserables may have you checking your tickets to see if you're at the right show. Set in the miserable prison holding Jean Valjean (Greg Stone), the show opens with the disquieting view of paired duos of bare-chested inmates, as frozen in place as statues, poised to pull cables attached to chairs dangling overhead. Can this dark and intimate version of the blockbuster musical possibly work? Yes, and then some. Eric Schaeffer has boiled down the lavish spectacle to black-box theater size, and nothing is lost in the process.
