BOSTON - In the nearly 40 years since "Les Misérables" debuted, more than 130 million people in 53 countries have seen it, and now the beloved musical is making its return to Boston.

Actor Nick Cartell has portrayed the lead, Jean Valjean, more than 1,200 times. He said the show and the music never get old, and "that's what's so exciting about 'Les Mis,' is that every time you see it, you can see something different."

"It can be such an escape, the storytelling that we do. And I know even for me personally the reasons I go to the theater is to connect with the story that is being told," says Haley Dortch, who plays Fantine.
