Love, war and redemption - all the ingredients needed for an epic tale. Based on the acclaimed 19th century novel by Victor Hugo and compelling audiences since 1985; Les Misérables is a dramatic masterpiece. By adding evocative music to an already engaging story, Cameron Mackintosh has created a journey of emotion. As you watch the stories of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, factory worker Fantine and her daughter Cosette unfold, you can’t help but be moved. Indeed, as hits such as I Dreamed a Dream and Empty Chairs at Empty Tables are sung, you’ll be transported to a world of conflicts and, moreover, conflicting emotions.


Coach leaves Stanway at 4pm, Earls Colne 4.15pm, Halstead 4.30pm & Braintree 4.50pm.
