The Belmont Theatre will present THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, a musical based on the novel by Victor Hugo with music from the Disney animated film.

The international musical and dance sensation Notre Dame de Paris announced a one-week extension for its return New York engagement.

Casting for Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, LES MISÉRABLES, has been announced for the San Francisco engagement, performing July 5–23, 2023 at BroadwaySF’s Orpheum Theatre.

I’ve seen many productions of “Les Misérables” over the years, Dear Readers. I’ve seen local productions and tours. I’ve seen with the turntable and without. And, of course, I’ve seen good and not so good productions. And with all those viewings under my belt, I had to ask myself, “do I need to see it yet again?” And the answer I got last night was a resounding yes. When it’s a production as good as this one that can remind you how amazing the show is, you absolutely want to see it again.

Algonquin Arts Theatre has announced a stellar lineup of concerts for their 2023-2024 season.

Following its long-awaited New York City debut last year, which was seen by over 30,000 people in just 12 performances, the international musical and dance sensation Notre Dame de Paris will return to New York this summer to celebrate its 25th Anniversary.

Rent è un musical rock scritto e composto da Jonathan Larson e ispirato all'opera La bohème di Giacomo Puccini; prende, dunque, libera ispirazione da un 'classico', come accaduto per altri musical di grandissima popolarità quali il 'Moulin Rouge!', che si basa su 'La Traviata' di Giuseppe Verdi, o il Phantom of the Opera di Andrew Loyd Webber, che ha trovato ispirazione ne 'Le Fantôme de l'Opéra' di Gaston Leroux, o ancora 'Les Misérables' di Claude-Michel Schönberg ,tratto dal romanzo di Victor Hugo).

The glorious music of Puccini remains the principal reason to see the Washington National Opera’s (WNO)current production of the beloved classic opera La bohème. This oft-referenced opera that has influenced everything from the famous film Moonstruck to the hit Broadway musical Rent, must be a fairly faithful revival of the original opera that the WNO presented at the Kennedy Center in 2014 –the original director Peter Kazaras is one again at the helm.  Additionally, the original costumes by Jennifer Moeller (which are appropriate to the updated period), the original choreography by Ben Wright and the original set design by Lee Savage have all been retained. From referencing the program, however, it seems that lighting design by A. J. Guban has been brought in for this production.

In the world of theatre, there are some shows that simply resonate on a different level. In my experience, this happens when the perfect cast comes together with visionary creatives at the perfect moment in time. And when these puzzle pieces all snap into place, it delivers a performance that just feels different, one that makes the audience feel like they are lucky to be in that moment together. If you have experienced this before, you know, it is truly magical. Typically, this has been, for me, a feeling primarily reserved for popular, highly acclaimed shows, usually on Broadway (but not always). On Thursday night – I experienced that same rush, those same chills, and that same rare feeling sitting in the audience for the first time at the historic Athens Theatre in Deland, Florida – witnessing their latest production of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. As I sat there, I forgot that the amazingly talented cast were all volunteers – brought together by their love for the art and a passion for performance – and reveled as they delivered a stunning piece of musical theatre that was truly wonderous to behold.

Cameron Mackintosh's acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, Les Misérables, will make a triumphant return to Seattle and The 5th Avenue Theatre's stage, May 24 - June 17, 2023.

I highly recommend getting tickets to see Les Misérables before they sell out. It's an unforgettable experience you won't want to miss.

The issues that LES MISÉRABLES touches on are unfortunately as relevant today as they were in 1862 when Victor Hugo’s novel was first published and in 1985 when the musical adaptation first opened in London.

For nearly two centuries, Victor Hugo's novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, has captured the imaginations of readers all over the globe.  Set in one of the most recognizable buildings ever created, the story follows the trials and tribulations of the outcast bell ringer, Quasimodo, as he navigates through a world of colorful characters filled with lust, deceit, and revenge.

Les Miserables returned to Indianapolis, again, in excellent fasion, propagating its underlying message that theater can suppress the multitudes. It can be ambitious and weighty, thematically sacred, and blatantly tear-jerking.
