Les Miserables Trip (Ages 50 & Up)

One of Broadway's most beloved musicals, "Les
Miserables" is showing at the Drury Lane Theatre in
Oakbrook Terrance. Set in early 19th-century France,
it is the story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant, and
his quest for redemption after serving nineteen years
in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread. Jean decides
to break his parole and start his life anew after a
kindly bishop inspires him by a tremendous act of
mercy, but he is relentlessly tracked down by a police
inspector. Along the way, Jean and a slew of characters
are swept into a revolutionary period in France.
Please keep in mind lunch is not a part of the show.
Dole pick up at 12:15 pm; Fox Pick up at 12:30pm.
