“The Les Misérables 25th Anniversary concert was an extraordinary experience for everyone at The O2, so it was thrilling to hear that the response in cinemas was just as emotional, where audiences clapped, cheered, cried and stood, just as if they were at the live event. Now that the concert will be screened to nearly 500 U.S. cinemas, this great theatrical event can now have an even greater worldwide audience,” said Mr. Mackintosh.
First produced in 1985 at London’s Barbican Centre and based on the novel by Victor Hugo, the musical Les Misérables follows the characters as they struggle for redemption and revolution in early nineteenth-century France. In 1987, it was nominated for 12 and won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
