Les Misérables Opens in Raleigh Feb. 11, Win Tickets to a Performance

Theatre buffs get excited - one of Broadway’s most beloved productions is coming to the Triangle stage this month.  For the first time in NC Theatre’s 30-year history, the company will stage its own production of the epic musical Les Misérables, taking place Tuesday, Feb. 11 through Sunday, Feb. 23 at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.

The HinesSight Blog is giving away two tickets to the Tuesday, Feb. 18 performance. You may enter below using Rafflecopter.

Les Misérables is based on the Victor Hugo novel about an ex-con and others struggling to find redemption in the midst of turmoil in early 19th century Paris. I saw the touring production in Raleigh several years ago for the first time, and really enjoyed the show. I left my seat singing, "Master of the House."  I have yet to see the Les Misérables movie though. 

This N.C. stage version will include some local celebrities who are certainly Raleigh favorites.  Les Misérables will star Raleigh's own Lauren Kennedy as Fantine in a reprisal of the role she played on Broadway, alongside her real-life daughter Riley Campbell, who makes her NC Theatre debut as Young Cosette. Also starring in the production are Broadway veterans Craig Schulman as Jean Valjean and Chuck Wagner as Javert. If you love “Les Mis,” then you don't want to miss this all-star production!

Lauren Kennedy is a bona fide Broadway star whose credits include starring as the Lady of the Lake in Monty Python's Spamalot, in Sunset Boulevard with Glenn Close, in Side Show as Daisy Hilton, and in Cinderella at New York City Opera. Her daughter Riley, making her stage debut, is poised to follow in her mother’s footsteps.

NC Theatre Opens New Season with Premiere Production of CATS {Win 2 Tickets for 10/8 Performance in Raleigh}

Need a date night? I've got one for you on Tuesday, October 8. Win two tickets to see NC Theatre's premiere production of CATS on opening night, courtesy of NC Theatre and my blog. CATS will run from October 8 to October 13 at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium in the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Raleigh

NC Theatre will open its 2013/1014 Season with CATS from October 8 to October 13. 

CATS is one of my all-time favorite musicals. I saw the original cast on Broadway in 1982, and enjoyed it in London's West End in 2002. I have also seen the production on tour several times. I'm a big fan of Rum Tum Tugger.





I've had three cats own me in my lifetime, and they all had a little bit of Rum Tum Tugger's personality.  I promise you that if you see this production you will forever breakout in song and sing, "Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat" at the most strangest times. The music from CATS sticks with you.

 Based on T.S. Eliot's OLD POSSUM'S BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS, and with music by legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber, CATS won seven 1983 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes.

 CATS tells the story of the Jellicles, a tribe of cats who assemble for their annual junkyard ball where they announce the cat that will be reborn.

   
Casting for North Carolina's production includes Kenneth Prymus as “Old Deuteronomy”, who played the role on Broadway for 7 ½ years. The production will also star Thay Floyd as “Rum Tum Tugger” from NC Theatre’s The Producers and A Christmas Story on Broadway and Jennifer Shrader as “Grizabella” (Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast, Swing!) Also appearing is Raleigh native and ECU graduate Kinsland Howell as “Demeter” (Tours: Young Frankenstein, A Chorus Line), NC favorite Dirk Lumbard (NCT’s The Drowsy Chaperone, Legally Blonde) and Kathleen Lynch as “Jellylorum” most recently appearing in Theatre Raleigh’s 23rd Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

 For tickets to NC Theatre’s production of CATS, visit www.NCTheatre.com or call Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000. For groups of 10 or more, call 919-831-6941 x5204. Also coming up this season: ELF, WE WILL ROCK YOU, LES MISERABLES, DRIVING MISS DAISY AND DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID

 Win two tickets for the opening night performance on October 8 at 7:30 p.m. One winner will be drawn at random.  The giveaway ends on October 1 at 12 a.m.
