Cameron Mackintosh expressed his excitement about the new cast and the ongoing success of Les Misérables:

“The phenomenon of Les Misérables never fails to astound me. No show in history has been able to continually reinvent itself and remain a contemporary musical attracting new generations of brilliant new talent, many of whom go on to international stardom. No show in the world has ever demonstrated the survival of the human spirit better than Les Miz, and it’s time to let the people sing again. We are all thrilled to be Bringing Her Home to you.“

Audiences can expect a night of sweeping musical scores and heart-wrenching performances, featuring iconic songs such as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “Do You Hear The People Sing?,” “One Day More,” and “Master of the House.”

Les Misérables is not just a musical; it is a monumental experience that speaks to the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
