Les Misérables comes to Broadway at the Eccles

After having seen so many Broadway productions over the years, I frequently get asked the question, “which one is your favorite?” That’s a hard question to answer, truthfully, because there are different categories within Broadway shows. Which has the best music? The most dynamic sets? Which was most fun? Most powerful? I could come up with a hundred different answers for you for countless reasons. But always at the top is Les Miserables. This show speaks to me unlike any other. The story of redemption, forgiveness, love and compassion, to me, is the ultimate Broadway musical. How lucky are we, then, that Les Miserables is about to make a stop in Salt Lake City on their National tour? I can’t wait to see this on stage at the Eccles!

Cameron Mackintosh said, “The phenomenon of Les Misérables never fails to astound me. No show in history has been able to continually reinvent itself and remain a contemporary musical attracting new generations of brilliant new talent, many of whom go on to international stardom. No show in the world has ever demonstrated the survival of the human spirit better than Les Miz, and it’s time to let the people sing again. We are all thrilled to be Bringing Her Home to you.”
