Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Boublil and Schönberg’s musical Les Misérables is returning to Mayflower Theatre by popular demand. Cameron says: ‘Since I first conceived the new production of Les Misérables to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary in 2009, this production has taken the world by storm – more than matching the success of the original, which can now only be seen in London.

‘I am thrilled that modern audiences have embraced this production as Les Mis for the 21st century and it is playing to packed houses all over the world in many languages. It also inspired the hugely successful movie version starring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne.’ ‘I am very proud that this extraordinary Boublil and Schönberg musical remains as fresh, thrilling and exciting as ever – and people are still storming the barricades for a ticket.’

Les Miserables is based on the novel by Victor Hugo.
