High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Les Miserables, colloquially known as Les Mis, is one of the most famous and most performed musicals worldwide. It is based on the novel Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, which follows the struggles of a cast of characters as they seek redemption and revolution in nineteenth century France. French composer Claude-Michel Schonberg composed the Tony Award-winning score in 1980, with a libretto by Alain Boublil. It was staged in London's West End in 1985, with English lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer. On October 8, 2006, the show celebrated its twenty-first anniversary and became the longest-running West End musical in history. The show has since found further success on Broadway and in many other countries around the world. There have been several recordings of this material, including ones by the original London cast and original Broadway cast. However, no recording contains the entire performance of songs, score and spoken parts as featured on stage; The Complete Symphonic Recording comes closest, but a pair of songs that were cut from the show following the initial London run are not included.
