LES MISÉRABLES THE ARENA SPECTACULAR has been conceived and developed by Cameron Mackintosh to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables, the world’s longest-running musical. The staging, lighting and visual design have been reimagined to deliver an epic, cinematic experience for a large-scale stage production. It features a complete set, the full cast in costume, and a live orchestra, transitioning between scenes without the use of traditional set changes.
Following its acclaimed launch in the UK and Europe in September 2024, the production has continued to tour internationally with over one million tickets having been sold worldwide so far, playing to packed houses and breaking box office records in Australia and Japan. The Singapore presentation at Sands Theatre brings Cameron Mackintosh’s critically acclaimed production to life on a scale never before seen by local audiences, retaining all the key elements of the international version as part of this global anniversary celebration.
