Tickets for the 25th anniversary production of “Les Miserables,” which comes to the Koger Center for a run of eight performances in March, go on sale at 9 a.m. Monday. The current production features new staging and new scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. Of course, the musical is based on Hugo’s 1862 novel about a struggling class of people in France. The events in the book include the June Rebellion, an uprising led by students in 1832.

The new production includes many of the original’s hits, including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “One Day More” and “Master of the House.” “Les Mis” is the third longest-running Broadway production.

The eight performances are March 19-24. The Koger Center is at 1051 Greene St. $45-$65; www.capitoltickets.com or (803) 251-2222
