The musical 'Les Mis?rables' is based on the epic novel of the same name by the great French writer Victor Hugo.

It is characterized by grand and beautiful melodies combined with stage art that recreates the appearance of 19th-century France. Since its premiere in London in 1985, it has been translated into 22 languages across 53 countries and has been loved by audiences worldwide for over 40 years.

In Korea, it was presented as a Korean-language licensed performance in 2012 and 2015. It proved its artistic quality and commercial success by winning five categories at the 7th The Musical Awards and four categories at the 19th Korea Musical Awards.

The production company stated, "The musical 'Les Mis?rables' is well known for selecting actors strictly through auditions, and we are preparing the performance with actors who have passed rigorous auditions."
