LES MISERABLES TOUR

After nearly a decade since the last UK tour, Cameron Mackintosh has announced that his  Broadway production of Boublil and Schönberg’s musical “LES MISÉRABLES” is to go on tour at the end of this year opening  at the Curve Leicester  in November 2018 with Dean Chisnall playing Jean Valjean. He will be joined by Nic Greenshields/Javert, Katie Hall/Fantine, Ian Hughes/Thénardier, Helen Walsh/Madame Thénardier, Harry Apps/Marius, Frances Mayli McCann/Eponine, Barnaby Hughes/Enjolras and Charlie Burn/Cosette.

Completing the cast will be Joseph Anthony, George Arvidson, Adam Boardman, Olivia Brereton, Danny Colligan, Rebecca Ferrin, Aimee Good, Jenna Innes, Ebony Jonelle, Robert Madge, Liam Marcellino, Emily Owens, Jordan Simon Pollard, Corinne Priest, Jamie Pritchard, Aaron Pryce-Lewis, Dean Read and Janne Snellen.

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.

Les Miserables is a real tear jerker which is unsuitable for younger children. It is based on Victor Hugo's epic novel, spanning two decades in the life of Jean Valjean: starting in Digne in France in 1815, moving to Montfermeil in 1823 and eventually getting to Paris in 1832.

The relentless policeman Javert pursues escaped convict Jean Valjean for years through revolutionary France. Valjean becomes a factory owner and mayor, agrees to raise the daughter of dying prostitute and joins the fight for freedom. None of this impresses Javert - until Valjean saves his life. The intricate plot has many twists and turns including a romance between Marius and Cosette, and the unrequited love of Eponine.

It includes some haunting scores including "Who Am I?," "A Little Fall of Rain," "One Day More," "Bring Him Home" and "I Dreamed a Dream."
