LES MISÉRABLES – THE STAGED CONCERT


Coming up on the Rhumbelow Classics Cinema On The Big Screen will be the staged concert of Les Misérables.

Cameron Mackintosh presents Boublil & Schönberg’s legendary musical Les Misérables: The Staged Concert.

Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, it features music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer from the original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel.

Seen by over 120 million people worldwide, Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals.

Coinciding with its 35th triumphant year in London’s West End, Cameron Mackintosh produced a spectacular sell-out staged concert version directed by Nick Morris at the Gielgud Theatre in London featuring an all-star cast including Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Matt Lucas and John Owen Jones.

Now cinema audiences can experience a live broadcast of the musical phenomenon which broke box office records and sold out its entire 16-week season. Public Screening licensed through MPLC (Motion Picture Licensing Company).

Featuring a cast and orchestra of over 65 and including the songs I Dreamed a Dream, Bring Him Home, One Day More and On My Own, this sensational staged concert is not to be missed – an absolute must-see for any fans of musical theatre or live event cinema.
