This concert version of the world’s longest-running musical last ran in 2019 as a glittery stopgap while the main show was being overhauled, and has valiantly battled against two lockdowns as a substitute for a main show too big to be social-distancing compliant.
‘Les Mis’ proper will return in September, all being well, but for now the concert version should hopefully get a decent crack at it at last.
The cast is Jon Robyns (Jean Valjean), Bradley Jaden (Javert), Lucie Jones (Fantine), Gerard Carey (Thénardier), Josefina Gabrielle (Madame Thénardier), Shan Ako (Éponine), Harry Apps (Marius), Jamie Muscato (Enjolras) and Charlie Burn (Cosette) with Dean Chisnall playing Valjean at certain performances.
