'Les Miz' on Broadway - NYTimes.com It's only been absent from Broadway for five years, but "Les Misérables" is returning there, and Hugh Jackman and company are responsible. To capitalize on the popularity of the film, which is up for eight nominations on Sunday, the producer Cameron Mackintosh will mount a retooled version on Broadway in March 2014, reports the Bagger's colleague Patrick Healy. "What we're counting on is that people who loved the movie will now really want to see 'Les Misérables' on stage, and people who loved the original musical were swept up by the film and say, 'I can't wait for another chance to see it onstage again,'" Mr. Mackintosh said.
