“… Do You Hear the People Sing!”
Beginning in 1815
and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the riveting story of Les Miserables
follows the lives and interactions of such beloved characters as: Cosette, Marius & Eponine; the rascally innkeepers the
Thenardiers; the untimely death of Fantine, the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean; and the relentless pursuit of Valjean by police inspector Javert. In fact, our opening performance on June 6th marks the 182nd
anniversary of the popular uprising depicted at the Barricade in Act 2.
The
Two Of Us Productions is very pleased to bring this grand story and sweeping music to our Hudson Valley audience. Les Miserables won 8 Tony Awards and 5 Drama Desk awards, including
Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score. The pace of the story line is
brisk and the intensity of Hugo’s story of rebellion, imprisonment, love and redemption is fully supported by the rich
music of Les Miserables, which we present in all it’s glory with our full
orchestra.
Les Miserables, The Musical holds a special
magic for many people. At both Sunday matinee performances, June 8th
& June 15th, we are offering a special photo-opportunity event. Stay

of LES MIS that I have seen! ... Outstanding performance!" -- Kathleen K.

director, have not hesitated ... Although the company has other virtues, its big claim to your attention is that
its musicals appear with a full, live orchestra." -- Marion Hunter, The Columbia Paper.
