E-Mail This Article to a Friend Ni! The holy grail of musicals comes to Boston

DREAM WITH THEM

Martin Luther King Jr. famously wrote in his "I have a dream" speech that he dreamt of the day when "all of God’s children will be able to sing." A good number of God’s children will realize that goal when the Boston Children’s Chorus, the Chicago Children’s Choir, and the Young People’s Chorus of New York City assemble at Jordan Hall on January 16 to perform the world premiere of "A Trilogy of Dreams," which is based on the works of Langston Hughes. What’s more, this celebration of Martin Luther King Day will be aired live on Channel 5. Jordan Hall is at 30 Gainsborough St, Boston | 6:30 pm | $15-$25 | 617.778.2242.

ONE DAY MORE?

It’s been going strong for 18 years, and we hear that next year’s Broadway in Boston run might be the last time around for Les Misérables, but we’ll believe that when tomorrow comes and the musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg based on the epic Victor Hugo novel is no longer master of the house. Which in this case is the Opera House, 539 Washington St, Boston | February 15-26 | $18.50-$77.50 | 617.931.ARTS.

NIGHTS FOR THE KNIGHTS

Will this one last for 18 years? Well, how long has Spam been around? This year’s Tony winner for Best Musical, Monty Python’s Spamalot, begins its first national tour with a six-week engagement at the Colonial Theatre. Based on, or "lovingly ripped off," the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the musical promises "a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and one legless knight." With that line-up, it ought to be good for 180 years. This is another Broadway in Boston presentation, and the Colonial is at 106 Boylston St, Boston | March 7–April 15 | $37.50-$90 | 617.931.ARTS.
