The musical that swept the world is a truly spectacular finale to the Walnut’s 199th season. Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, Les Misérables is a sweeping, heartfelt and epic saga. The fugitive, Jean Valjean, is pitted against the tenacious Inspector Javert in a lifelong struggle to evade capture. What follows is a deeply personal tale set against a historical backdrop of an unparalleled scale.

A musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg
Lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer

.

Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, Les Misérables is an epic saga that sweeps through three turbulent decades of 19th century French history. The show is also the story of one man, the fugitive Jean Valjean (Hugh Panaro), who is pitted against the tenacious Inspector Javert (Paul Schoeffler), in a lifelong struggle to evade capture. What follows is a deeply personal tale set against a historical backdrop of an unparalleled scale.

.

Since its celebrated beginnings in 1985, Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical has played to an international audience of tens of millions, earning its place as the world’s most popular musical. It has been performed in over 26 countries in 14 different languages, capturing more than 50 international theatre awards, including two Grammy Awards and eight Tony Awards, including the 1987 Tony Award for Best Musical. It is the longest running musical in West End history. The Walnut Street Theatre was one of the first self-producing theatres chosen by Mackintosh to create a new concept for the show.

.

“Les Misérables speaks to the heart of its audience in a way that very few shows have in the history of musical theatre. Its strengths come from the magical grandeur of the production itself combined with the enduring message of Victor Hugo’s classic novel, “Les Misérables.” At its core, it is a tale that reinforces the fact that even though we may have our many differences, it is our longing for freedom that makes us part of both a global community and a truly human family. I am extremely excited to present this wonderful story in a new way that will be a unique experience for Philadelphia theatregoers.”

There is a beautiful exhibit arriving in Philly from the orient!  The Independent Hotel recommends that its guests visit this awesome, world-touring exhibition.  The Philadelphia Museum of Art is hosting Rhythms of India: The Art of Nandalal Bose (1882-1966)

.

This is the first exhibition to travel outside of Asia showcasing the exquisite and historically groundbreaking work of Nandalal Bose, a major artist who has been called the father of Indian modernism and one of the patriarchs of India’s cultural revival. Organized by the San Diego Museum of Art in a historic collaboration with the government of India and the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, this exhibition includes more than one hundred of the artist’s works. Philadelphia is the only East Coast venue for this major event. Rhythms of India explores the crucial period of India’s transition from a British colony to an independent nation through the country’s premier artist of the time. The works on view reveal the way Bose contributed to the development of a new Indian art and laid the foundation for modern visual culture in independent India, as well as illustrate how Bose contributed to the success of India’s nonviolent struggle for independence through his association with Mahatma Gandhi. To place Nandalal Bose in his full historical context, this exhibition also includes a range of splendid works by other artists such as his teacher, Abanindranath Tagore, his students, and other contemporary artists whom he greatly inspired.
