Les Miserables
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK: Composed by Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, this musical version of Victor Hugo’s classic 1862 novel premiered in Paris in 1980, in French, and was then adapted into English for its London debut five years later, where it’s been running ever since; the initial Broadway run lasted from 1987 to 2003. Other productions have proliferated globally. This means it’s already been seen by a gajillion people. The New York Times called the award-winning show “Thrilling, spectacular and unforgettable.”
In the current national tour, Nick Cartell portrays the fugitive ‘Jean Valjean’ with Preston Truman Boyd as ‘Inspector Javert.'
