There is something special happening on stage at the Aurora Theatre. The Aurora Theatre production is the most flawless version of 'Les Miserables' that I have ever seen, and I've seen my share. I filled pages upon pages with notes about the exciting and insightful choices made by the always genius director Justin Anderson and his near-perfect cast.
Beginning its 18th season, Aurora Theatre opens the Brand Signature Series with the epic Broadway classic LES MISERABLES, running through September 8, 2013. Check out a first look at the cast in action below!

Anyone familiar with the Atlanta theatre scene knows that there is as much talent here as in nearly anywhere else in the country, and this summer, Atlanta's 30+ professional theatre companies are putting that talent to use. While there are countless other great productions going on around the city this summer, BWW Atlanta has narrowed it down to six that will surely leave Hotlanta talking well into the winter months.
Broadway musicals come in all different shapes and sizes. The small and cute, 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown' and 'Little Shop of Horrors;' the grand and extravagant, 'Hello Dolly!' and 'The King and I;' and the massive and epic, 'The Phantom of the Opera,' 'Les Miserables,' and 'Ragtime.' The latter, the most notable American addition to the list, opens at Marietta's Earl Strand Theatre in a production by the Atlanta Lyric Theatre on Friday. With a book by Terrence McNally, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and music by Stephen Flaherty, 'Ragtime' opened on Broadway in 1998 and won, amongst others, the Tony Awards for Best Book and Score, and Audra McDonald won her third Tony for playing young-mother, Sarah. The show, set in 1902, combines the joy of a simpler time with the inevitable conflict associated with societal change.
Atlanta Lyric Theatre presents the Tony Award-winning musical Ragtime April 12 - 28, 2013 at The Earl Smith Strand Theatre (117 N. Park Square, Marietta). For reservations, visit www.AtlantaLyricTheatre.com or call 404-377-9948.
