If you dreamed a dream of days gone by, when "Les Miserables" was running for more than a decade on Broadway, well, your dreams are coming true again. "Les Miz" will make its third visit to the Great White Way, starting March 1 and opening March 23, 2014 at the Imperial Theater.

Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's classic musical has apparently been "re-imagined" in this new production that's been touring internationally. Certainly, Susan Boyle's rise from obscurity and the popularity of Tom Hooper's 2012 movie version are also reasons for the orphan's return.

Says producer Cameron Mackintosh (in a press statement) about the Imperial Theater (where "Les Miz" played 13 of its 16-year initial U.S. run), "This magnificent theater has the perfect blend of scale and intimacy for a story like `Les Miserables.'"

Co-directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, "Les Miserables," based on the Victor Hugo novel of student revolutionaries and a hounded bread stealer, will still feature such famous musical numbers as "I Dreamed a Dream" and "On My Own." The original show is still running in London (28 years) and had its last Broadway go-`round Nov 09, 2006-Jan 06, 2008 at the Broadhurst Theater.  For those keeping score, since its 1985 UK premiere and 1987 Broadway debut, "Les Miserables" has been seen by nearly 65 million people worldwide in 42 countries and in 22 languages.
