Les Misérables (1980) is a sung-through musical based on the 1862 novel Les Misérables by French poet and novelist Victor Hugo. It premiered in Paris in 1980 and includes music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, as well as an English-language libretto by Herbert Kretzmer.
