Les Misérables is the longest-running musical in the world, and the London production has just entered its 40th year. To celebrate, an exciting arena production of this musical is going on a world tour. After dazzling crowds in the UK and major European cities, Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular, is coming to Australia. See it at the ICC Theatre in Sydney from April 30, 2025.
Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular
The idea for this world arena tour was first discussed over 18 years ago, between producers Cameron Mackintosh and Nick Grace. Look forward to an international cast and orchestra of over 65, including many famous Les Mis stars. This arena tour will feature an extraordinary new design, created specifically for these venues.
“I have long dreamt of taking an Arena Tour of Les Misérables around the world, but I am especially thrilled to be bringing it back to Australia where the outrageous idea of doing Les Mis as a concert began,” said Mackintosh.
Hear the triumphant and heart-wrenching songs from Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary score, including Do You Heart the People Sing?, One Day More, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables and I Dreamed a Dream.
The Arena Spectacular will feature Alfie Boe and Killian Donnelly sharing the role of Jean Valjean, and Michael Ball and Bradley Jaden sharing the role of Javert. Matt Lucas will return to play Thénardier, and Australia’s Marina Prior will take on the role of Madame Thénardier. Rachelle An Go will play Fantine, Jac Yarrow will be Marius and Beatrice Penny-Touré will play Cosette. Finally, James D. Gish will return as Enjolras.
