LES MISERABLES - THE WORLD'S LONGEST RUNNING MUSICAL

Cameron Mackintosh’s enthralling production of Les Miserables has been seen by over 70 million people, staged in 43 countries and in 22 languages all over the world. Les Miserables is now in its 31st year on the West End Stage and is officially the longest-running musical in the world.

Victor Hugo’s beautiful and timeless tale of crushed dreams, unreciprocated love, sacrifice and salvation is brought to life on stage with music and lyrics by Boublil and Schonberg (Miss Saigon, Martin Guerre, Marguerite), and is still as gripping and vital as when it was first staged all those years ago.

Alongside Cats, The Phantom Of The Opera and Miss Saigon, Les Miserables is one of Cameron Mackintosh's famed eighties mega-musicals. These shows broke the mould for musicals and went on to become the biggest-selling musicals in the world.

WHAT IS LES MISERABLES ABOUT?

Jean Valjean, having broken his parole, is on the run, pursued by the tireless, merciless policeman, Javert. In a world where leaving your past behind proves hard, Valjean’s promise to care for Cosette, the orphaned daughter of factory worker, Fantine, sees their lives altered like they could never have imagined.

Set against the backdrop of revolutionary France, Les Miserables is a tribute to the enduring nature of love, forgiveness and the unbreakable nature of the human spirit.

THE MUSIC OF LES MISERABLES

Les Miserables is entirely through-sung - that is there is no spoken dialogue in the show. It contains songs like On my Own, Bring Him Home, Empty Chairs At Empty Tables,  Stars and I Dreamed A Dream which was the song that launched Susan Boyle during her appearance on Britain's Got Talent around the world.THE MOVIE

In 2012 Les Miserables was turned into a movie featuring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Sasha Barron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter and Aaron Tveit. The movie is on track to become the highest-grossing movie musical ever.

SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT LES MISERABLES

There are approximately 101 cast and crew directly involved in every performance, not including front of house staff, ticket sales, wardrobe staff, set contractors, maintenance, office staff, advertising and publicity.

Each performance entails some 392 costumes consisting of over 5000 items of clothing and 85 wigs.

On 18th November 2004 a special concert performance was given at Windsor Castle in honor of the President of the French Republic and Jacques Chirac to celebrate the centenary of the Entente Cordiale.
