The magnificent score includes the songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” “Master of the House” and many more. Seen by more than 150 million people worldwide in 57 countries, 455 cities and translated into 22 languages, Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals.
