--Original Script!--
It's 1815 and after ("5 YEARS FOR WHAT HE DID THE REST BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO RUN!") Jean Valjean is sent on Parole by Javert. On finding a Bishop, he stays the night stealing two candle sticks. The bishop lies and allows him to start a new life- Valjean breaks his parole and follows the Big "B's" advice. Eight years later he is a factory owner where we meet Fantine who's daughter is being care for by two innkeepers. Fantine is dismissed from the factory by the Foreman and then sells her hair, locket and becomes a prostitute. She get's violent with a man and gets arrested but Valjean takes her to hospital.
A cart goes mental and Valjean stops hit in Javert's sight. He questions Valjean's strength which reminds him off. Yep! Jean Valjean. Fantine then dies and Javert realises Valjean is Valjean! In AN EPIC MUSICAL NUMBER Valjean escapes to take little Cosette. The Thenardiers have been a bit of a bitch to Cossete making her work. Valjean pays 1,500 Francs and takes her away.
Ten years later, the government is bad to the pour and the good guy on their side in the Government is ill. Enjolras and Marius see the state of the poor but at the same time Valjean and sexy looking Cossette are there. Marius falls immediately in love with her after bumping into her and asks Eponine, Cosetes former step sister and daughter to the Thenadiers helps to find her. Enjorals prepares a revolution and Lamarque dies. They build a Baricade. Marius finds Cossete and they have a duo. Eponine is sad as she loves him. Javert promises to find Valjean to the stars. Then there's an amazing song which wraps up act one. Holy shit that is only ACT ONE.
Act Two stats with Javert in disguise to spy on them. Eponine, crossdressing as a man, promises to take a letter to Cossette. She gives it and then sings a song in the rain, where apparently the pavement shines like silver. Javert returns with "news" from the government troops but Gavroche, a small child, reveals that he is a spy! Eponine returns and get's shot and dies in Marius' arms. Valjean arrives and volunteers and saves Enjorals in the first battle. He releases Javert.
They all sleep and Valjean prays that Marius is saved and "IS BROUGHT HOME" Gavroche is shot the next day and all of them die except a wounded Marius and Valjean. They escape but Javert awaits in the Sewers. He allows Valjean to take him to a doctor. Javert cannot bring himself to arrest him and then kills himself. Ouch.
Marius mornes the dead by singing about empty chairs and Cosette comforts him. Valjean reveals his real self to Marius and then the pair, not Valjean and Marius, Marius and Cossette, and the Thenardiers are there. Valjean is weak and on his death bed. Fantine's spirirt arrives to take him to heaven and then Cossette and Marius arrive to allow Marius, who realises from a stolen ring by the Thenardiers, that Valjean saved him. Valjean gives Cosette his confession to read it well and then both Fantine and Eponine's souls take him to paradise where all those who died are.
