What is Les Misérables arena spectacular?
The Les Misérables Arena Spectacular is essentially an expanded version of the hugely successful Les Misérables Staged Concert, in which a full cast of theatre actors perform the entire musical soundtrack from start to finish.
Les Mis is what's known as a sung-through musical, which means all dialogue is given through song and there is no pause in the music – this makes it much especially easy to turn into concert form.
However, The Arena Spectacular will have an extraordinary new design specifically created for arenas. With over 110 actors and an orchestra of 65, this version is set to be bigger and better than ever before.
