Background


It was announced in January 2019 that the original production of Les Misérables would close in July 2019 and move to the adjacent Gielgud Theatre for four months to allow for the Queen's Theatre (as it was then called) to be refurbished and reopen in December 2019 with a new updated production.[1] The move would allow the show to continue its record breaking run.[2] The following month, it was announced that the Gielgud production would take the form of an all star-staged concert and run for 16 weeks between 10 August and 30 November.[3]


The Staged Concert


Due to the success of the production, producer Cameron Mackintosh announced that an extra performance had been added on 2 December 2019 which would be broadcast live to cinemas across the UK, Republic of Ireland and the United States.[4] A subsequent change meant that the concert was not broadcast live in North America, with the date pushed back to 8 December.[5]

The stage concert was due to returned to the Sondheim Theatre for a limited run from 5 December 2020, this was extended and due to play until 28 February 2021.[6] However the show closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic on 15 December after just 10 performances. It will return for a limited run between 20 May and 5 September 2021 with a renewed cast.[7]


Cast


The all-star cast featured Alfie Boe as Jean Valjean, Michael Ball as Javert, Carrie Hope Fletcher as Fantine and Matt Lucas and Katy Secombe as the Thénardiers. Additionally, Earl Carpenter played the dual role of Bishop of Digne and Bamatabois whilst understudying Javert and John Owen-Jones played Jean Valjean for three performances a week. The orchestra was conducted by Alfonso Casado Trigo. The full cast is listed below:


Encore


At the end of the final performance, Michael Ball announced that Bradley Jaden would be taking over the role of Javert in the new production. They then sang "Stars" together, as a duet. Next, Alfie Boe, who had performed in the concert, was joined by four other Jean Valjeans to sing "Bring Him Home": John Owen-Jones who shared the role with Boe, Jon Robyns from the new London cast, Dean Chisnall from the 2019 tour, and Killian Donnelly who was in the 2010 concert as well as the 2012 film. After speeches from Cameron Mackintosh and Claude-Michel Schönberg, the performance concluded with the ensemble performing "One Day More".
