Les Misérables to make Glasgow premiere next year

World-renowned theatre production of Les Misérables will make its Glasgow premiere next year.

The Boublil and Schönberg musical will have a four-week run at Theatre Royal, and will be the first Cameron Mackintosh production to be staged in Glasgow in over 15 years, the last being Miss Saigon at the King’s Theatre back in 2004.

James Haworth, Theatre Director at Theatre Royal, said: “I am extremely excited to welcome Les Misérables to Theatre Royal and to Glasgow for the first time next year. It is such a prestigious and revered musical and the calibre of Cameron Mackintosh’s productions is outstanding.

"This will also be the first Cameron Mackintosh production to come to Glasgow in over 15 years which makes the run especially significant to the Theatre Royal and the city.

"I look forward to welcoming all who come along to see this iconic production.”

Since Cameron Mackintosh first conceived this new production of 'Les Misérables' in 2009 to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary it has taken the world by storm - with the current production having sold out in record breaking time in each venue it has played since opening in 2018.

To date, the musical been seen by over 120 million people worldwide in 52 countries and in 22 languages, with the production also inspiring the hugely successful movie version starring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne.

The musical's run at the Theatre Royal on Wednesday June 3 and ends on Saturday June 27.
