Both Alfie Bow and Michael Ball will return to the Les Misérables in a tour that travels to some of the UK’s biggest arenas.
Alfie Boe and Killian Donnelly will share the role of Jean Valjean and Michael Ball and Bradley Jaden will share the role of Javert in the UK, leading a cast and orchestra of over 65 people.
This world tour will travel to more than 15 countries, with Ball, Boe and co appearing in the UK venues. The tour begins at Belfast’s SSE Arena on 19th September 2024.
Other UK arena dates include Glasgow’s Ovo Hydro (3rd - 6th October 2024), Sheffield’s Utilita Arena (10th - 13th October 2024), Aberdeen’s P&J Live (17th - 20th October 2024), Manchester’s AO Arena (26th - 29th December 2024) and Newcastle’s Utilita Arena (2nd - 5th January 2025).
Luxembourg, Geneva, Milan, Trieste, Copenhagen, Oslo, Zurich, Sweden, Australia, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and many more countries will feature on the run, which will stretch well into 2025, with more destinations to be announced soon.
Producer Cameron Mackintosh said: “The spectacular world arena tour of the Les Misérables concert has been a dream of mine for many years. With Les Mis’ 40th phenomenal year starting this October, there couldn’t be a better time for it to happen.
“With the Les Misérables movie now being re-released in cinemas across the world in its completely remixed digital glory, sounding and looking better than ever, and with the London and North American productions still regularly breaking attendance records, Les Misérables is a true phenomenon – The People’s Musical – and the only musical ever to be simultaneously a hit on stage, screen and in concert arenas.”
The arena tour will have an extraordinary new design specifically created for arenas (and large theatres) with audiences of between 3,000 and 5,000. This spectacular production will also feature a core cast with a great number of celebrated Les Mis guest stars appearing as their schedules allow.
The production continues to play at the Sondheim Theatre in London where it will soon enter its 40th year.
