It’s all gone crazy for Les Miserables again. Last year it was Subo’s rendition of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ that set ticket sales on fire. This year is a big anniversary for Les Mis, 25 years in the West End, making it the longest running musical in the world.
Revolution is in the air
More interestingly are the reality tv and pop stars that are starring in these Les Mis productions. Nick Jonas (one of the Jonas brothers of course! Actually I have no idea who he is.) will play Marius in the original production from the 21st June to the 10th July and then will perform in the concert on the 3rd October. It has been confirmed that X factor finalist Lucie Jones will play Cosette in the original production starting in July and Samantha Barks, who placed 3rd in the BBC show I’d Do Anything will also join the production in the role of Eponine.
Gareth Gates will perform as Marius in the Anniversary production at the Barbican and most surprisingly, Little Britain’s Matt Lucas is going to be Thenardier in the Les Miserables concert at the O2!
Les Mis is definitely one of the West End greats and a must see for anyone who loves musicals. There’s still good summer discounts for the original production at the Queen’s Theatre, but tickets are selling out for the concert so if you want to be an audience member for a fantastic anniversary show, be quick!
