The initial dates and venues have been revealed for the World Tour of the Les Miserables The Arena Spectacular, although no London date have been announced.
The show will open at the SSE Arena Belfast on 19 September 2024, where it will play until 28 September 2024.
Following Belfast, the production will play limited dates at Glasgow’s SSE Hydro Arena from 3 to 6 October 2024, Sheffield’s Utilita Arena from 10 to 13 October 2024 and Aberdeen’s P & J Live Arena from 17 to 20 October 2024.
The Tour will starts its European leg, with dates in Luxembourg from 25 to 27 October 2024, and then Geneva, Trieste, Milan, Copenhagen, Oslo and Zurich.
Its final UK dates will be in Manchester at the AO Arena from 26 to 29 December 2024, and at the Utilita Arena, Newcastle from 2 to 5 January 2025, before moving on to Sweden, Australia, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. A tour in North and South America is also planned.
The World Tour begins as the stage musical enters its 39th year, and will run throughout the upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations for the world’s longest running musical in 2025.
Les Miserables The Arena Spectacular will be expanded from the hugely successful Les Misérables The Staged Concert which played for over 200 performances in the West End.
The Arena Spectacular will get a major new design specifically created for arenas (and large theatres) with audiences of between 3,000 – 5,000. This spectacular production will have a UK company of over 110 actors, musicians and crew featuring a core cast with a great number of celebrated Les Mis guest stars appearing as their schedules allow.
Producer Cameron Mackintosh said in a statement: “I’m thrilled to announce the initial venues where this spectacular production of Les Misérables will run. This much anticipated world tour will be a unique opportunity for many celebrated performers to play their favourite roles for short periods in different parts of the world, so fans will get the chance to see their favourite stars (and mine!) in their favourite musical. Over the show’s nearly 40 years existence, it has also proved to be the launch pad for an extraordinary list of stars around the world, in many different languages and countries. Both the show and the score of Les Mis continues to win poll after poll around the world as the public’s favourite musical of all time containing so many of the most memorable and beloved songs ever written for the musical theatre. The euphoria of the cast reunion performances of Miz are legendary and always prove a sell-out so I look forward to this unique event being the ultimate demonstration of Do You Hear The People Sing ever!”
The tour is produced by Cameron Mackintosh (Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera) and Nick Grace (Walking with Dinosaurs, Batman Live), who is one of the world’s leading producers and general managers of international touring productions and in the last 25 years has presented shows in 59 countries worldwide including BATMAN LIVE – World Arena Tour, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Arena Spectacular, BLUE MAN GROUP World Tour and the ongoing MAMMA MIA! UK & International Tour.
The critically acclaimed production of Les Misérables continues to play at the Sondheim Theatre, where it will soon be celebrating its 39th revolutionary year.
Tickets for the Arena Spectacular will go on sale on 12 October 2023.
