Cameron Mackintosh, is delighted to announce a strictly limited run for the World Tour of LES MISÉRABLES – THE ARENA SPECTACULAR.
Following a record breaking two year run since the World Tour opened in Belfast in September 2024, with over 1-million tickets having been sold worldwide so far, the new dates will mark the end of the official 40th anniversary celebrations of the world’s longest-running musical.
Full casting for the new tour dates to be announced soon.
This production features and extraordinary design specifically created for arenas (and large theatres) with audiences of between 3,000 – 5,000.
This spectacular production will have a UK company of over 110 actors, musicians and crew featuring a core cast with a great number of celebrated Les Mis guest stars appearing as their schedules allow.
WHAT IS LES MISÉRABLES ABOUT?
“I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
when hope was high and life worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die.
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.”
The year is 1832. Jean Valjean, a French peasant who stole a loaf of bread and ended up spending 19 years in gaol for his trouble, is living to regret it. Then he goes and jumps parole which doesn’t go down well with Javert, a particularly jobsworth cop who, with his unshakeable belief in the letter of the law, obsessively hounds Valjean until… well, if you want the whole story, read Victor Hugo’s novel. No? You prefer your French classics delivered in the form of a musical and theatrical triumph? Now you’re talking.
Because, thanks to the creative team that includes composer Claude-Michel Shönberg and writer Alain Boublil, and songs including One Day More, I Dreamed a Dream and Do You Hear the People Sing? that’s exactly what ‘Les Mis’ is.
