"Les Misérables," the eight-time Tony Award-winning Broadway hit, will once again scale the barricades at Palm Canyon Theatre.
"Les Misérables," tells the story of Jean Valjean (Paul Grant) and his struggles to overcome the sins of his past in 19th century France. Based upon Victor Hugo’s epic novel, "Les Misérables" deals with broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption against the backdrop of revolution.
