After 20 years working on a chain gang he returns to society as an outcast. The kindly Bishop of Digne wants to give him a fresh start in life, but old habits die hard and Valjean repays his trust by stealing a pair of candlesticks. The Bishop quickly forgives him but the ruthless policeman Javert won't give up so easily. ![](https://londondrum.com/i/eve/les-miserables2a.webp) ## Critically acclaimed soundtrack Composer Claude-Michel Schonberg collaborated with lyricist Alain Boublil and librettist Herbert Kretzmer to create the critically acclaimed score which includes classic songs such as _I Dreamed a Dream, On My Own, Bring Him Home, One Day More_, and the rousing _Master Of The House_.
