Here’s a brief summary of the musical by Wikipedia:

Les Miserables is a sung-through musical based on the novel Les Miserables by French poet and novelist Victor Hugo.  It has music by Claude-Michel Schonberg, original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, with an English-language libretto by Herbert Krezmer.

Set in early 19th-century France, it is the story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant, and his quest for redemption after serving nineteen years in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread for his sister’s starving child.  Valjean decides to break his parole and start his life anew after a kindly bishop inspires him by a tremendous act of mercy, but he is relentlessly tracked down by a police inspector named Javert.  Along the way Valjean and a slew of characters are swept into a revolutionary period in France, where a group of young idealists make their last stand at a street barricade.
