The critically-acclaimed Les Misérables – The Staged Concert will be the first of the three Les Misérables’ production to return with performances at the Sondheim Theatre, beginning on 20 May and running until 3 September. The newest production of Les Misérables will also open in Tokyo next month and will embark on another tour of North America in the autumn of 2022.
