Based on Victor Hugo’s timeless novel, LES MISÉRABLES offers a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of 19th century France. The musical delves into themes of broken dreams, unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption. Its powerful storytelling has made it one of the most beloved and enduring productions in theatrical history.
The producer, Cameron Mackintosh, expressed his excitement about bringing the show back to audiences, stating, “The phenomenon of LES MISÉRABLES never fails to astound me.” He noted the musical’s ability to reinvent itself and attract new generations of talent, emphasizing its global impact and resonance. He added, “No show in the world has ever demonstrated the survival of the human spirit better than LES MISÉRABLES, and it’s time to let the people sing again.”
The musical features an unforgettable score, including songs such as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” and “Do You Hear The People Sing?” These powerful numbers contribute to the show’s emotional depth, having captivated over 130 million people worldwide since its debut.

It first premiered over 40 years ago and continues to enjoy tremendous success across the globe, including ongoing performances in London’s West End and record-breaking runs in countries such as North America, Australia, and Japan.
To celebrate its longevity, LES MISÉRABLES is launching its first World Tour, which will include dates across Europe, Australia, and Asia. Additionally, in an exciting move, 11 leading amateur companies in the UK will present full stagings of the show in 2025, showcasing the musical’s broad appeal.
