Its Broadway plans may have derailed, but the extensively revamped “Martin Guerre,” by “Les Miserables” and “Miss Saigon” creators Alain Boulil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, will offer Los Angeles audiences a look. Based on a 16th century French legend, this musical mystery, filled with deception, love and mistaken identity, is about a soldier who comes to a small village, claiming to be a man who disappeared years before. An earlier version of the show won the Olivier Award for best new London musical in 1997.
