Since Cameron Mackintosh first conceived this new production of “Les Misérables” in 2009 to celebrate the show’s 25^th anniversary it has taken the world by storm. Originally touring the UK throughout 2009/10, concluding with a season at the Barbican, it has also played across the globe including Broadway where the Huffington Post proclaimed this new production, “Sizzles for the 21^st Century” and the New York Times called it, “Thrilling, Spectacular and Unforgettable”. This production opened triumphantly in the West End at the Sondheim Theatre in January 2020 to critical acclaim, and it will reopen there in September 2021 following a limited run of The Staged Concert.  It will also open in Tokyo in May 2021 and will commence another tour of North America in Autumn 2022.  It has firmly been embraced by modern audiences everywhere as a Les Mis for the 21^st century. The tour of this production has sold out in record breaking time in each venue it has played since opening in 2018.
