Arts Theatre Broadway in Austin: Les Misérables Less digressive than Victor Hugo’s original 1862 novel, that 1,400-some-page doorstopper, but still a significant investment of time at nearly 3 hours, plus intermission, this sung-through musical is one of the most popular stage productions ever, and for good reason: It’s wildly entertaining stuff. A cat-and-mouse game between ex-con Jean Valjean and a by-the-book policeman driven to send him back to prison plays out against the backdrop of the Paris Uprising of 1832 and a classic love triangle where boy opts for pretty-but-boring over the more interesting choice. (Justice for Éponine!) “Do You Hear the People Sing?” is so stirring it’s no wonder it’s been adopted as a protest anthem. – Kimberley Jones

Got ophidiophobia, or a fear of snakes? Don’t go running away just yet. 2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake in the lunar calendar, but fear not, as this snake brings good fortune. As we start the Lunar New Year with fresh beginnings in mind, let’s not forget about the lively festivities that come along with it. The UMLAUF’s Lunar New Year celebration hosts an evening replete with gong meditation, food, and a glow-in-the-dark dragon and lion dance. Admission is free for members, but $12 will get nonmembers in. – Catalina Perez
