For the 25th anniversary of Les Misérables, Broadway-Brit Sir Cameron Mackintosh re-invented the scenery and staging of the Boublil & Schönberg 1985 masterpiece. The new production is designed to be more visually tuned-in to Victor Hugo's original 1862 novel. Rumoured to be sans that giant turntable, the updated version utilizes video rear projection for much of the setting. Mackintosh — of Phantom of the Opera and Cats fame — will showcase his creation at the Academy of Music through January 15th. For tickets, visit KimmelCenter.org.
