Summary:
With a cast including Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Carrie Hope Fletcher, and Matt Lucas, Les Misérables temporarily transferred to the Gielgud Theatre for the awe-inspiring All-Star Staged Concert. Boublil & Schönberg's musical crusade arrived at the Gielgud for a limited sixteen-week run while its London home, The Queen's Theatre, underwent essential maintenance. This brilliant new staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed 'Les Mis for the 21st Century.'
