Killian Donnelly, known for his portrayal of Jean Valjean in both the West End and on tour, brings his acclaimed interpretation back to the stage. His diverse career encompasses significant roles across major productions, showcasing his versatility and skill.

Michael Ball, a stalwart of British musical theatre, has received accolades for his performances and recording career over the past three decades. His role as Javert adds another distinguished part to his illustrious career.

Bradley Jaden, praised for his recent performance in Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, returns to the role of Javert, continuing his successful trajectory in musical theatre.

Cameron Mackintosh said: “The spectacular world arena tour of the Les Misérables concert has been a dream of mine for many years. With Les Mis’ 40th phenomenal year starting this October, there couldn’t be a better time for it to happen.

“A dream concert deserves a dream cast and I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that the first UK leg of the tour, which opens in Belfast in September and is already more than two thirds sold out, will star Alfie Boe or Killian Donnelly as Jean Valjean and Michael Ball or Bradley Jaden as Javert, heading a cast and orchestra of over 65. Many other favourite Les Misérables performers, chosen from all over the world, will be announced in a few weeks’ time.”

What does Les Misérables mean?

Les Misérables literally translates as "the miserable ones". The musical was originally written in French and takes place in Paris during the 19th century.

What is the story of Les Mis?

Based on Victor Hugo's 1862 novel of the same name, Les Misérables tells the story of Jean Valjean, a convict who served 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread for his sister's starving child.

Filled with redemption, Jean Valjean is desperate to start his life over and breaks his parole. Tracked down constantly by police officer Javert, Jean Valjean and a whole host of characters are swept up in a tale of revolutionary France which tries to overthrow the government and make radical change.

When was the Les Mis film released?

The film adaptation of Les Misérables was released in 2012 and was directed by Tom Hooper. The Les Mis film starred an incredible cast of Hollywood icons include Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe.

Also in the cast was West End star, Samantha Barks who had already played the role of Éponine on the West End and in the 25th anniversary concert at London's O2 Arena. Samantha will be taking on the role of Elsa in Frozen the musical when it comes to the West End.

How can I watch the Les Mis film?

Les Mis is available on DVD or to buy and rent digitally at various retailers. If you use streaming services you can currently watch Les Misérables on Netflix .

Who wrote the music for Les Mis?

Les Misérables is renowned for its phenomenal score by Claude-Michel Schönberg with the original French lyrics by Alain Boublil. The lyrics were translated into English by Herbert Kretzmer.

The show is jam-packed with iconic songs including the heartbreaking 'I Dreamed a Dream' sung by Fantine, Jean Valjean's famous 'Who am I', 'Do You Hear the People Sing' has us ready for battle and many of us may have sung along to Éponine's 'On My Own' when we realised our crush didn't fancy us back.

Meanwhile 'Master of the House' sung by the Thénardiers provides some much needed comic relief especially as other songs like 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables' will really get the waterworks flowing.

However, the most iconic number of the show has to be 'One Day More' that has set an incredibly high bar on how to end the first act of a musical. The song flawlessly interweaves the melodies we've heard so far into an epic ensemble number that will give you goosebumps!

Where is the West End production of Les Misérables?

The West End home of Les Miserables is currently the Sondheim Theatre, located on Shaftesbury Avenue, London, just a short walk from Piccadilly Circus. The theatre was previously called the Queen's Theatre before it underwent a renovation in 2019 and was renamed after the legendary composer, Stephen Sondheim .

How can I get tickets for Les Mis?

Tickets for Les Mis in the West End can be purchased online or you can call the box office on 0844 482 5138 (calls to this number cost 7p per minute).

Information regarding accessibility at the Sondheim Theatre can be found online or by calling 0344 482 5137.

Is Les Mis going on tour?

The most recent UK and Ireland tour of Les Misérables came to a close in January 2023.

Is Les Mis on Broadway?

Not at the moment, Les Mis first opened on Broadway in 1986 with the original run lasting until 2003. When the original Broadway production closed, it had the second-longest run for a Broadway musical. The production now sits in 6th place having been overtaken by The Phantom of the Opera, the 1996 revival of Chicago, The Lion King and Wicked.

There have been two Broadway revivals of Les Misérables with the most recent revival running from 2014 to 2016.

When did Les Mis re-open on the West End?

Following the UK government announcing a roadmap out of lockdown restrictions, producers of Les Mis announced their plans to re-open on the West End. The show returned as a staged concert at the Sondheim Theatre on 20th May 2021 where the cast were able to socially distance from each other.

The concert closed in September and and on the 25th September 2021 the full production was back at the Sondheim Theatre.

Who was in the cast of Les Misérables The Staged Concert?

The concert version of Les Misérables starred Jon Robyns as Jean Valjean, Bradley Jaden as Javert, Lucie Jones as Fantine, Gerard Carey as Thénardier, Josefina Gabrielle as Madame Thénardier, Shan Ako as Éponine, Harry Apps as Marius, Jamie Muscato as Enjolras, Charlie Burn as Cosette and in some performances Dean Chisnall played the role of Jean Valjean.

What's the difference between the concert version and the full musical?

The differences between the staged concert and the full production are what you'd expect when comparing the two. The concert version included less set and less movement from the cast with more focus on the music of the show.

The cast were still very much be in costume and acting their roles so you had the story communicated to you.

Cameron Mackintosh

With the fully staged production of LES MISÉRABLES reopen in London alongside HAMILTON, MARY POPPINS and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA now lockdown restrictions have been lifted, and with LES MISÉRABLES and OLIVER! due to open in Tokyo over the next few months followed by MISS SAIGON in Austria and MARY POPPINS in Tokyo and Sydney next year, Cameron remains the world’s most prolific producer of musicals, with over 50 shows either on or in pre-production internationally.

Cameron’s Original productions include LES MISÉRABLES, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and CATS – the three longest running musicals of all time, now in their 4 th decades – MISS SAIGON, MARY POPPINS (co-produced with Disney), LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, SONG AND DANCE, TOMFOOLERY, MARTIN GUERRE, THE WITHCES OF EASTWICK, FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE and SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM. He also reinvented modern versions of OLIVER!, FOLLIES, HALF A SIXPENCE, BARNUM and MY FAIR LADY. His new versions of LES MISÉRABLES, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, MISS SAIGON and OLIVER! are now proving as successful as the original productions.

In 2013, alongside Working Title Films and Universal, Cameron produced the hugely successful Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA award-winning film adaptation of LES MISÉRABLES which is the most successful movie ever of an original stage musical.

The sold-out staged concert of LES MISÉRABLES at the Gielgud Theatre in 2019 was also broadcast live to over 600 cinemas and is now the highest grossing one-night live event performance of all time – a unique achievement in the history of Musical Theatre and has enjoyed another successful five month season at the Sondheim, despite having a five month hiatus due to Covid.

Cameron owns and operates eight historic London theatres which have all been spectacularly rebuilt and refurbished for the 21 st century. They house many of London’s successful hits. The Sondheim, formerly known as the Queen’s, has been rebuilt and renamed in honour of Cameron’s great friend, theatrical legend Stephen Sondheim.

Music Theatre International, the world’s largest owner of secondary rights of many of the greatest musicals ever written, is now one of Cameron’s companies.

Cameron was knighted in the 1996 New Year’s Honours for his services to British theatre and he is the first British producer to be elected to Broadway’s Theater Hall of Fame. In 1990, Cameron inaugurated the Chair of Contemporary Theatre at St. Catherine’s College in Oxford University, with Stephen Sondheim as his visiting professor. He is also the president of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
