New York Magazine described Neil LaBute as, "the most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today." Tony and Olivier Award nominee LaBute, transports Miss Julie from August Strindberg's Sweden of the late 19th Century, to a Long Island estate, the idyllic playground of the wealthy, on the night of Labor Day, 1929. Set on the eve of the Stock Market Crash, Miss Julie reflects a world of possibilities, ambitions and opportunities to be taken to achieve the unthinkable.

Internationally-renowned performer Alfie Boe will return to Broadway to star as 'Jean Valjean' in Cameron Mackintosh's acclaimed new Broadway production of Claude-Michel Schonberg & Alain Boublil's Les Miserables, now in its second year at the Imperial Theatre (249 West 45th Street). Boe begins performances in Les Miserables Tuesday, September 1. Tony Award nominee Ramin Karimloo will give his final performance as Valjean on Sunday, August 30.
