For those not familiar with the sweeping musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s great novel that has become one of the most popular musicals of all time - it focuses on the struggle of ex-convict Jane Valjean and his experience of redemption.

Set in France, petty thief Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and not only becomes an honest man, but Mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process.

He is consequently pursued by the relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising, does the ex-convict feel fully redeemed.
