SUMMARY:Les Miserables
DESCRIPTION:STILL THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR MUSICAL. \nCameron Mackintosh presents the acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award®-winning musical phenomenon\, Les Misérables. This brilliant staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed as “Les Mis for the 21st Century” (Huffington Post)\, “a reborn dream of a production” (Daily Telegraph) and “one of the greatest musicals ever created” (Chicago Tribune). Set against the backdrop of 19th century France\, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love\, passion\, sacrifice and redemption–a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. \nThis epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the songs “I Dreamed a Dream\,” “On My Own\,” “Bring Him Home\,” “One Day More\,” “Master of the House” and many more. Seen by over 130 million people worldwide in 53 countries and 22 languages\, Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals.

SUMMARY:Boston Ballet presents The Sleeping Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Deep in a century-long slumber\, an enchanting Princess Aurora and her kingdom await the power of true love’s kiss in The Sleeping Beauty. This iconic production with its sumptuous sets and costumes\, and host of magical characters\, will transport you to a world of beauty\, May 28–Jun 7. \nA spectacular achievement of academic classical choreography\, The Sleeping Beauty features technically demanding footwork and stunning dance. Hear one of Tchaikovsky’s greatest compositions performed live by the Boston Ballet Orchestra and enter a dreamland full of storybook magic and adventure. \n“Indeed\, the tutus\, petticoats\, vests\, dresses\, jackets\, and other period pieces are older than most of the dancers wearing them. Created in London in the 1970s by prominent theater designer David Walker\, the costumes have appeared in hundreds of shows over the years. Even after decades of use\, they appear brand new\, thanks to the almost magical efforts of stitchers in the Boston Ballet costume shop.” –Boston Magazine \nFor more information\, visit bostonballet.org or call 617.695.6955.

SUMMARY:Boston Ballet presents The Sleeping Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Deep in a century-long slumber\, an enchanting Princess Aurora and her kingdom await the power of true love’s kiss in The Sleeping Beauty. This iconic production with its sumptuous sets and costumes\, and host of magical characters\, will transport you to a world of beauty\, May 28–Jun 7. \nA spectacular achievement of academic classical choreography\, The Sleeping Beauty features technically demanding footwork and stunning dance. Hear one of Tchaikovsky’s greatest compositions performed live by the Boston Ballet Orchestra and enter a dreamland full of storybook magic and adventure. \n“Indeed\, the tutus\, petticoats\, vests\, dresses\, jackets\, and other period pieces are older than most of the dancers wearing them. Created in London in the 1970s by prominent theater designer David Walker\, the costumes have appeared in hundreds of shows over the years. Even after decades of use\, they appear brand new\, thanks to the almost magical efforts of stitchers in the Boston Ballet costume shop.” –Boston Magazine \nFor more information\, visit bostonballet.org or call 617.695.6955.
