Les Misérables
Cameron
Mackintosh presents his acclaimed new production
of Boublil & Schönberg's legendary musical, LES
MISÉRABLES, with glorious new staging and
dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the
paintings of Victor Hugo.
This new
production has been acclaimed by critics, fans
and new audiences and is breaking box office
records wherever it goes.
The New York
Times calls this production of LES MISÉRABLES
“an unquestionably spectacular production from
start to finish.” The London Times hails the new
show “a five-star hit, astonishingly powerful.”
The Star-Ledger says “a dynamically re-imagined
hit. This LES MISÉRABLES has improved with age,”
and NY1-TV proclaims “this new production
actually exceeds the original. Musical theatre
fans can rejoice: ‘Les Mis’ is born again.”
Based on Victor
Hugo’s classic novel, LES MISÉRABLES is an epic
and uplifting story about the survival of the
human spirit. The magnificent score of LES
MISÉRABLES includes the classic songs “I Dreamed
a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Stars,” “Bring Him
Home,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?,” “One Day
More,” “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables,” “Master
of the House” and many more.

God of Carnage
This hilarious
award-winning comedy begins when two
sophisticated couples meet to discuss a
playground incident involving their children.
What starts as a civilized get-together quickly
devolves into a scrappy, laugh-out-loud evening
that The New York Times called “A study in the
tension between civilized surface and savage
instinct.”
