A humble fugitive trying to lead a life on the straight-and-narrow. A self-righteous inspector chasing the past. An orphan child in love with a man at war. The Victor Hugo classic, on a return trip to the Ordway for three weeks, has more characters than the Michael Jackson trial, but entertains with much more dignity. The original Broadway performance ended its sixteen-year run last May as the third-longest-running show in Broadway history—and now it’s hit the road as this four-million-dollar “replicate” production, which has drawn record sellout crowds in London, Chicago, and Boston. It’s the only production of Les Mis currently running in the States, so catch it while you can (or settle for more Jacko Court TV drama). (651) 224-4222; www.ordway.org
