This one, thanks to some solid performances, is funny again.

BWW Reviews: LES MISERABLES A Powerful Reimagining

Not long after the Sacramento opening night performance of Les Miserables, producers officially confirmed plans to take the 25th anniversary production to Broadway next March. The announcement will come as no surprise to those who have witnessed the grandeur of the reimagined sets and slightly updated score.
