THEATER | Masterful musical

The Muni opens its 2013 season with Les Miserables, June 14-16, 19-23 and 27-29.

Directed by Stephan Kaplan, this musical follows Jean Valjean, an unfairly imprisoned man who upon release becomes a force for good but finds he cannot escape his past. Joshua Ratz plays Valjean. The Muni has been entertaining Springfield area audiences at its outdoor amphitheater for more than 50 years and has become a local summer tradition. Les Miserables is sponsored by McGladrey.
