It’s nearly a decade since the last UK tour of Les Miserables sold out within days, but don't worry, the Broadway production is back on tour from November 2018.
Boublil and Schönberg’s classic page-to-stage musical will open at Curve Leicester for a season from 3 to 24 November 2018 and will then play the Bord Gais Energy Theatre, Dublin (5 December 2018 to 12 January 2019), Festival Theatre Edinburgh (22 January to 16 February 2019) and Manchester Palace Theatre (19 February to 30 March 2019). Further dates will be announced.
Producer Cameron Mackintosh said: “Since I first conceived the new production of Les Misérables to celebrate the shows 25th anniversary in 2009, this production has taken the world by storm – more than matching the success of the original, which can now only be seen in London.
“I am thrilled that modern audiences have embraced this production as Les Mis for the 21st century and it is playing to packed houses all over the world in many languages. It also inspired the hugely successful movie version starring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne. This latest version comes hot from its recent Broadway triumph (now once again on a sell-out tour of North America) and is even more spectacular than the original.”
This new staging has scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo, and has been seen in North America, South America, Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia, Spain, France, Manila, Singapore, Dubai and Broadway. Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables has been seen by more than 120 million people worldwide in 45 countries and in 22 languages.
Les Misérables is based on the novel by Victor Hugo. It has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer and original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, additional material by James Fenton and original adaptation by Trevor Nunn and John Caird. The production is directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell.
