Les Miserables The Staged Concert to be screened in cinemas
Updated on 4 November 2019
It has just been announced that Les Miserables: The All-Star Staged Concert is set to hit the big screen in early December. The concert-style production stars Carrie Hope Fletcher, Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, and Matt Lucas and closes on Saturday, 30 November at London's Gielgud Theatre. The production was created to help bridge the gap for the original Les Mis production, which had to close due to the Queen's Theatre's planned refurbishment and but still wished to retain its theatre record for the non-stop, longest-running West End musical. Les Miserables will return to the Sondheim Theatre (formerly the Queen's Theatre) on 18 December 2019.
