Auditions - Les Miserables
Windsor Light Music Theatre is proud to present our 151st Production, Les Misérables.
Distinguished as one of the world’s longest running musicals, this epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. Les Misérables has impacted performers and audience members around the world for over 45 years. Seen by over 150 million people worldwide in 57 countries, 452 cities and 22 languages, Les Misérables is undisputedly still one of the world’s most popular musicals.
Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released after 19 years of unjust imprisonment to find nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe that Valjean can change his ways.
A winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, and sacrifice – a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.
