Adapted from Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel of the same name, the musical (created by composer Claude-Michel Schönberg with a book by Schönberg, Alain Boublil, and Jean-Marc Natel and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer) has played to over 130 million people in 53 countries and in 22 languages. It started as a concept album in 1980, and had a run in Paris that same year.
