Set in 19th-century France and adapted from Victor Hugo's 1862 novel, Les Misérables explores the tragedies of its characters during the sociopolitical context of the time. On September 24, 1980, Les Misérables made its stage debut in Paris, France. The English-language version of the musical, produced by Cameron Mackintosh and featuring lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, has been continuously performed in London since October 1985. As a result, it holds the distinction of being the musical with the longest run in the West End, and it ranks as the second longest-running musical worldwide, following the original Off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks.
