Arizona Citizens for the Arts and Phoenix Theatre will host Legislative Night during a special fundraising performance of Les Misérables. Legislative Night brings together Arizona state legislators and arts advocates to promote public dialogue, build support of the arts and discuss the impact the arts have on Arizona communities. Don’t miss this special showing of what the Phoenix Theatre is calling a “modern musical masterpiece… epic, grand and uplifting.”
This story, based on the classic novel by Victor Hugo is set in 19th century France. Jean Valjean, is released on parole after 19 years of unjust imprisonment. Finding that he has become an outcast of society with nothing more than mistrust and mistreatment, he breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life. Struggling for redemption, he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways.
