Don’t miss the latest Les Mis
CAMERON Mackintosh has added Liverpool to the national tour of his production of the Boublil and Schönberg musical Les Misérables.
It will play the Liverpool Empire from Wednesday, October 9 to Saturday, October 26.
Since conceived in 2009 to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary it has taken the world by storm.
Originally touring the UK throughout 2009/10, and concluding with 22 performances at the Barbican, this production was hailed by audiences and critics alike.
The new tour is a Les Mis for the 21st century and has already sold out some venues.
This production inspired the film version starring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne.
This new staging has scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo – on whose novel the play is based – and has already been seen in North America, Brazil, Mexico, Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia, Spain, France, Manila, Singapore, Dubai and Broadway.
The production has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, additional material by James Fenton and original adaptation by Trevor Nunn and John Caird.
Boublil and Schönberg’s score includes the songs I Dreamed A Dream, On My Own, Stars, Bring Him Home, Do You Hear The People Sing?, One Day More, Empty Chairs At Empty Tables, Master Of The House and many more.
The original orchestrations are by John Cameron with new orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke, Stephen Metcalfe and Stephen Brooker.
Tickets will be available for the Liverpool dates for ATG Theatre Card members from Wednesday, November 26, for group bookers from Thursday, November 29 and general sale from Friday, November 30.
