PHOTO ARCHIVE: Les Misérables Over the Years

A starry 25th anniversary concert of the pop opera was presented at London's O2 Arena Oct. 3. The recorded performance, screened at movie theatres around the United States on Nov. 17, will soon be released on CD and DVD.

The new U.S. tour of Les Misérables, directed and designed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, launches Nov. 19 at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse. A British-cast production of this revised revival toured the U.K. and, earlier this year, played a brief London engagement.

Based on Hugo's classic novel, Les Miz is an epic story of survival and sacrifice amid great social change. The famous pop-opera score includes the classic songs "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Stars," "Bring Him Home," "Do You Hear the People Sing?," "One Day More," "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," "Master of the House" and many more.
