ORPHEUM THEATRE 

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA

D 

o you hear the people sing? You will today, as our 

special guest at the Orpheum for the 25 th anniversary 

production of Les Misérables, the world’s longest 

running musical, with its timeless themes of grace, love and 

sacrifice. This powerful epic, winner of eight 1987 Tony Awards 

including Best Musical, keeps drawing people back. It was called 

“an unquestionably spectacular production from start to 

finish” by the New York Times and has been seen by nearly 60 

million people worldwide in 42 countries and translated into 21 

languages. 

Since an extremely successful run at the Orpheum in December 

2011 and the 2012 release of a lauded feature film starring Hugh 

Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, I’ve been asked 

frequently about its return. On behalf of Hennepin Theatre 

Trust, I am delighted to welcome this enduring musical back. You are some of the lucky few 

to get the chance to see this show before before it re-opens on Broadway next spring! 

In addition to bringing some of Broadway’s hottest shows to the Twin Cities, the Trust is also 

encouraging a diverse group of young patrons to explore their potential through our 

education and community engagement programs. Our Critical Review student reviewer 

program gives metro area high school students the opportunity to attend Broadway 

productions and write reviews to be posted on the Trust’s website and in community 

newspapers like the Twin Cities Daily Planet. After seeing War Horse recently, Madeline 

Bertch wrote, “It was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Five Tony Awards form quite a 

resume but War Horse speaks for itself.” 

As part of the program, students receive the same professional press materials that are 

distributed to the Twin Cities media, attend Broadway Confidential talks for background on 

the shows and are offered behind-the-scenes historical theatre tours. They also participate in 

workshops with local theatre professionals such as Jeffrey Hatcher, an award-winning 

Broadway and Off-Broadway playwright and screenwriter, and Star Tribune theatre critic 

Graydon Royce. 

We extend a special thanks to long time Trust Donors Fred and Ann Moore for their ongoing 

financial support of Critical Review. Any metro area high school student is eligible to apply 

for this free program. Registration for the 2013-14 school year will begin in early September. 

To read student reviews or learn more about how you can help ensure that these experiences 

remain available for Twin Cities high school students, please visit our website at 

www.hennepintheatretrust.org. 

Thank you for being here to “dream the dream” with one of the greatest productions ever 

created. Enjoy the show! 

Yours truly, 

Thomas L. Hoch

SYNOPSIS 

ACT ONE 

PROLOGUE: 1815, DIGNE 

After 19 years on the chain gang, Jean Valjean 

finds that the ticket-of-leave he must display condemns 

him to be an outcast. Only the Bishop of 

Digne treats him kindly and Valjean, embittered 

by years of hardship, repays him by stealing some 

silver. Valjean is caught and brought back by the 

police and is astonished when the Bishop lies to 

the police to save him. Valjean decides to start his 

life anew. 

1823, MONTREUIL-SUR-MER 

Eight years have passed and Valjean, having broken 

his parole and changed his name to Monsieur 

Madeleine, has become a factory owner and 

Mayor. One of his workers, Fantine, has a secret 

illegitimate child. When the other women discover 

this, they demand her dismissal. 

Desperate for money to pay for medicines for 

her daughter, Fantine sells her locket, her hair, and 

then joins the whores in selling herself. Utterly 

degraded, she gets into a fight with a prospective 

customer and is about to be taken to prison by 

Javert when the ‘Mayor’ arrives and demands she 

be taken to the hospital instead. 

The Mayor then rescues a man pinned beneath 

a cart. Javert is reminded of the abnormal strength 

of convict 24601 Jean Valjean, who, he says, has 

just been recaptured. Valjean, unable to see an innocent 

man go to prison, confesses that he is prisoner 

24601. At the hospital, Valjean promises the 

dying Fantine to find and look after her daughter 

Cosette. Javert arrives to arrest him, but Valjean 

escapes. 

1823, MONTFERMEIL 

Cosette has been lodged with the Thénardiers, 

who horribly abuse her while indulging their own 

daughter, Éponine. Valjean pays the Thénardiers 

to let him take her away to Paris. 

1832, PARIS 

Nine years later, there is unrest in the city because 

of the likely demise of the popular leader General 

Lamarque, the only man left in the government 

who shows any feeling for the poor. A street gang 

led by Thénardier and his wife sets upon Jean Valjean 

and Cosette. They are rescued by Javert, who 

does not recognise Valjean until he has gone. 

The Thénardiers’ daughter Éponine, who is secretly 

in love with the student Marius, reluctantly 

agrees to help him find Cosette, with whom he 

has fallen in love. 

News of General Lamarque’s death circulates 

in the city and a group of politically-minded students 

stream out into the streets to whip up support 

for a revolution. 

Cosette is consumed by thoughts of Marius, 

with whom she has fallen in love. Éponine brings 

Marius to Cosette and then prevents an attempt by 

her father’s gang to rob Valjean’s house. Valjean, 

convinced it was Javert lurking outside his house, 

tells Cosette they must prepare to flee the country. 

ACT TWO 

The students prepare to build the barricade. Marius, 

noticing that Éponine has joined the insurrection, 

sends her away with a letter to Cosette, 

which is intercepted by Valjean. Éponine decides 

to rejoin her love at the barricade. 

The barricade is built and the revolutionaries 

defy an army warning to give up or die. Javert is 

exposed as a police spy. In trying to return to the 

barricade, Éponine is killed. 

Valjean arrives at the barricade in search of 

Marius. He is given the chance to kill Javert but 

instead lets him go. The students settle down for 

a night on the barricade and, in the quiet of the 

night, Valjean prays to God to save Marius. The 

next day the rebels are all killed. 

Valjean escapes into the sewers with the unconscious 

Marius. After meeting Thénardier, who 

is robbing the corpses of the rebels, he comes 

across Javert once more. He pleads for time to deliver 

the young man to the hospital. Javert lets Valjean 

go and, his unbending principles of justice 

having been shattered by Valjean’s own mercy, he 

kills himself. 

Unaware of the identity of his rescuer, Marius 

recovers in Cosette’s care. Valjean confesses the 

truth of his past to Marius and insists he must go 

away. 

At Marius and Cosette’s wedding, the Thénardiers 

try to blackmail Marius. Thénardier says 

Cosette’s ‘father’ is a murderer and as proof produces 

a ring which he stole from the corpse the 

night the barricade fell. It is Marius’s own ring 

and he realizes it was Valjean who rescued him 

that night. He and Cosette go to Valjean where 

Cosette learns for the first time of her own history 

before the old man dies.

SECONDARY TICKET MARKET • Consumer Warning - the State, 

Orpheum and Pantages Theatres use bar code scanning for ticket admissions. 

As a result, patrons should be careful when purchasing tickets 

and should make sure the seller is a State, Orpheum or Pantages Theatre 

licensed contractor, otherwise, you may be purchasing a ticket that 

is invalid and will be denied admission. 

Ticketmaster is the ONLY authorized ticketing agent outside of the State Theatre 

Box Office. If you purchase tickets from an unauthorized agent in the 

secondary market (Scalper, Ticket Broker, eBay, Craigslist, etc.), you risk 

purchasing counterfeit or invalid tickets. If you wish to purchase tickets from 

the secondary market, we encourage the use of TicketExchange. 

TicketExchange is Ticketmaster’s online service that enables premium 

and fan-to-fan transactions. Only Ticketmaster can guarantee 

100% legitimate secondary market tickets, because the tickets sold 

through TicketExchange are linked to Ticketmaster’s barcoded ticketing 

systems. Visit our website for more information on TicketExchange. 

SEATING • Guests arriving after the start of the performance will be 

seated at the discretion of management, in accordance to the wishes of 

the performing company. These times vary with each production. Please 

plan to allow plenty of time for parking. 

SMOKING • The State, Orpheum & Pantages Theatres & their lobbies 

are entirely smoke-free. 

TICKETS • Tickets can be purchased in person at the State Theatre Box 

Office, by phone through the Ticketmaster Artsline, online through Ticketmaster.com 

or through Ticketmaster outlets. 

GROUP SALES • Bringing your group to the Hennepin Theatre District WEATHER • In cases of inclement weather, most shows will go on as 

is easy! Our standard group minimum is 15 people, but may vary with scheduled. Visit our website for the show you are scheduled to attend or
