Product Description
Les Misérables was born when Cameron Mackintosh heard a recording of the original French adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel which had flopped dramatically in Paris in 1981.
Mackintosh saw potential & with some brand new lyrics from Herbert Kretzmer added to the powerful original score by Alan Boublil & Claude-Michel Schönberg, Les Misérables made its London debut at the Barbican in September 1985, moving to the West End’s Palace Theatre three months later where it played for eighteen years before its transfer to the Queens Theatre where it remains.
The show comes back to the Barbican Theatre as part of the show’s 25th Anniversary celebrations, with new staging & redesigned scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. The Barbican production will be the first time anywhere in the world that two productions of the same musical are playing in the same city, giving London theatre-goers the only chance of seeing this acclaimed new production.
