Love. Spectacle. Revolution. New life of Victor Hugo’s classic novel Les Misérables.

All this could be said for the musical Les Misérables by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, presently performed in 38 countries, which had over 39.000 reruns and was seen by an incredible number of 51.000.000 spectators. This is a play that broke all records, even the highest ones, set by the musical Cats. What does this production mean for Madlenianum? Before all, the fact that, by staging the musical Les Misérables, our house becomes a part of twenty-two year history of this play. Then, it means that Madlenianum enters the world map, because in tens of the countries of the world, at this very moment, just like in our house, an extra ticket is required for this musical.

However, playing Les Misérables principally means that our house performs the work that has rendered in verse and interpreted in the most beautiful way the most humane thoughts of Victor Hugo and transformed them into a musical spectacle that speaks of friendship, loyalty and defiance. Jean Valjean, Fantine, Eponine, Cosette, but before all, the little Gavroche, a street urchin and a prematurely aged boy, show the power of national spirit, the magnitude of the riot, tragism, but also the humane aspect of a troubled history. Now, that very history is transformed into everything that only the theatre can give: in colours, light, song, dance, but also into the real drama. Ten soloists will appear on the stage, but along with them, there will be a whole gallery of characters: convicts, prostitutes, working women, fortune-tellers, and beggars.

The performance is performed in English with a subtitle in Serbian.

Ljubav. Spektakl. Revolucija. Novi život klasičnog romana Jadnici Viktora Igoa. Sve ovo moglo bi da se kaže uz mjuzikl Bublila i Šenberga Les Misérables koji se trenutno igra u 38 zemalja, koji do sad imao preko 39.000 repriza i koji je videlo neverovatnih 51.000.000 gledalaca. Ovo je delo koje je oborilo sve rekorde, pa i one najveće koje je postavio mjuzikl Mačke.

Ipak, igranje Les Misérables pre svega znači da se na sceni Madlenianuma pojavljuje delo koje je na najlepši način stihovalo i prepevalo one najhumanije misli Viktora Igoa i pretočilo ih u muzički spektakl koji govori o prijateljstvu, odanosti i prkosu. Žan Valžan, Fantina, Eponina, Kozeta, ali pre svih mali Gavroš, jedan obešenjak i prerano sazreli dečak, pokazuju snagu narodnog duha, veličinu pobune, tragizam, ali i čoveštvo nemirne istorije. Sada je ta istorija pretočena u sve ono što samo pozorište može da pruži: u boje, svetlo, pesmu, igru, ali i pravu dramu. Na sceni će se pojaviti deset solista, no uz njih i čitava galerija likova: robijaši, prostitutke, radnice, gatare, prosjakinje. Lik Gavroša ipak ostaje lajt-motiv čitavog projekta

Predstava se igra na engleskom sa titlom na srpskom jeziku.
