Iconic Les Mis cast members return to West End for limited-run anniversary performance
Former cast members and fresh faces will descend on London for the anniversary special.
Les Misérables is celebrating 40 years on the West End this year with a very special run of anniversary performances.
The world's longest-running musical will be pulling in actors from the show's history to perform in a limited eight-week run starting in September.
Heading up the cast is Killian Donnelly as Jean Valjean and Bradley Jaden as Javert, both of whom are currently touring in the Les Misérables Arena Spectacular and have previously played the part of Enjolras in the London show.
Joining them on stage will be Katie Hall as Fantine, Jac Yarrow as Marius, Shan Ako as Éponine, Jordan Shaw as Enjolras and Beatrice Penny-Touré as Cosette.
Plus, Benidorm actor Adam Gillen will appearing as Thénardier which comes after finishing up his run as the Emcee in Cabaret, opposite him will be Marina Prior as Madame Thénardier.
The musical's well-known producer Cameron Mackintosh said on this: "It’s hard to believe that Les Miserables is already 40 years old and still in the prime of life on Shaftesbury Avenue in London’s West End, packing out the Sondheim Theatre.
"In celebration of our 40th Birthday, I have put together, as I have always done for major celebrations, a special cast for eight weeks only, drawn from the outstanding performers of the last decade’s international productions of Les Mis, as well as the current Arena Spectacular and the Oscar winning movie, all of whom have emerged as new theatre stars
"In 1985, Edward Behr in Newsweek predicted that LES MIS would be "a musical that makes history" - it certainly has. A very special Birthday celebration indeed for the World’s longest running musical."
The anniversary run will be in London for just eight weeks from 8th September – and the actual anniversary will be on 8th October. Here's what you need to know.
