Based on Victor Hugo’s epic 1862 novel about the struggles of protagonist Jean Valjean during the tumultuous years of early 19th century France, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s ever-popular musical version of Les Misérables has long been regarded as a classic of the genre. Super-producer Cameron Mackintosh’s latest revival of this timeless tuner, a huge hit on Broadway when it debuted in 2014, sets up shop at the Citizens Bank Opera House April 16–28, delivering dazzling new sets and such enduring songs as “Master of the House,” “One Day More,” “I Dreamed a Dream” and “On My Own” that will have audience members humming long after the final curtain drops.
