Les Misérables

Les Misérables Two beloved yet very distinct shows head to Spokane this next week for First Interstate Center for the Arts’ Best of Broadway series: Dr. Seuss’s grumpy Grinch and the musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s revolutionary epic. First, kick off the holiday season a little early with a visit to Whoville, and make sure your heart isn’t two sizes too small before the hustle and bustle gets really chaotic. A fourth showtime for The Grinch on Saturday morning was recently added to let even more enjoy its magic. Then, just a few later, one of the most popular musicals of all time sets up shop for a six-day run. Also inspiring but on a grander scale, Les Misérables is a tale about overcoming tragedy and finding hope even in the darkest of times. Its show-stopping musical numbers are reason enough to see it for the first time, or again and again.
