In 1980, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg opened Les Miserables in Paris, a country that has relatively no tradition of musical theater. It sold out and did relatively well, but it was by chance, months after its closure that an English producer heard the French recording and from there led it to its translation into English and brought to the British stage. It opened in London in 1985, went on to Broadway and gathered 8 Tony awards, and spawned countless touring companies.

Finale Lyrics

Do you hear the people sing
     Lost in the valley of the night
     It is the music of a people
     Who are climbing to the light
     For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
     Even the darkest night will end
     And the sun will rise.
     They will live again in freedom
     In the garden of the Lord
     They will walk behind the plough-share
     They will put away the sword
     The chain will be broken
     And all men will have their reward!
     Will you join in our crusade?
     Who will be strong and stand with me?

     Somewhere beyond the barricade
     Is there a world you long to see?
     Do you hear the people sing
     Say, do you hear the distant drums?
     It is the future that they bring
     When tomorrow comes!
     Will you join in our crusade?
     Who will be strong and stand with me?
     Somewhere beyond the barricade
     Is there a world you long to see?
     Do you hear the people sing
     Say, do you hear the distant drums?
     It is the future that they bring
     When tomorrow comes!
     Tomorrow comes!
     Tomorrow comes!
     [The curtain falls.]
