Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the live recording of the 25th anniversary Les Miserables on DVD and Blu-ray on Feb. 22, 2011.

Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, the musical is a love story set in France during the French revolution. Ex-con Jean Valjean (Alfie Boe) has transformed himself into an upstanding part of the community and has become mayor and owner of a factory. But when he helps Fantine (Salonga), one of his former workers,Valjean’s past is brought up and he is forced to leave everything and run from the chief of police, Javert (Norm Lewis).

Nine years later, Valjean has raised Fantine’s daughter Cosette (Katie Hall), who has fallen in love with Marius (Jonas), a fighter in the French revolution. As the revolution continues and with Javert still on the hunt, Valjean, Cosette and Marius must consider what they’re willing to sacrifice for love and justice.

The DVD was priced at $29.98 and Blu-ray at $39.98.
