It pays to be on the BBO NYC mailing list. Here's what I received an hour ago.

Dear ,
Last Sunday, LES MISÉRABLES, the longest running musical in the world, completed a sensational 14-month return engagement on Broadway and plans are now underway to tour a new production in North America starting Fall 2009!
Advance bookings are now being accepted for the 2009-10 season.
Produced by NETworks in collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh, a newly conceived touring production of Boublil and Schönberg’s award-winning musical will deliver the same thrilling theatrical experience audiences have treasured for a generation.
“I'm delighted that 22 years after LES MIZ originally opened in London there is still a huge audience to see this marvelous show,” said producer Cameron Mackintosh. “Over the years I have seen many hugely successful but visually different productions, so it has been exciting to develop this new design which draws inspiration not only from John Napier's marvelous original but also the brilliant drawings and paintings of Victor Hugo himself. Like the hugely successful new production of MISS SAIGON, the next LES MIZ will still be a spectacular mix of dazzling images and epic staging, driving one of the greatest musical stories ever told. I'm also delighted that this new production is being presented by Ken Gentry's NETworks who I am currently working with on the critically acclaimed and successful new production of MY FAIR LADY.”

Seen by more than 55 million people in 39 countries and 21 languages, LES MISÉRABLES opened in London in 1985, on Broadway in 1987 and began touring later that year; it has since played in more than 150 cities throughout North America. A select group of regional theatres has produced its own LES MISÉRABLES and a first-rate collection of middle and high schools has produced LES MISÉRABLES SCHOOL EDITION with student performers. With the creation of this exciting new touring production, audiences in even more cities will now be able to experience LES MISÉRABLES, the show that remains The World’s Most Popular Musical.
Please contact me or my colleagues, David Freeland or Temah Higgins, with your interest for the 2009-10 season. If you're attending APAP, please stop by our booth in Rhinelander Hall, Booth 217.
