Les Misérables is a sweeping masterpiece that has been a record-breaking success worldwide

since its London opening in 1985. It has been translated into 22 languages and been performed in front of

more than 70 million people in 44 countries. Boublil & Schönberg’s legendary musical was re-staged for its

25th anniversary and Les Misérables is now a glorious new production with dazzling re-imagined scenery

inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. It has been acclaimed by critics, fans and new audiences, and is

breaking box office records wherever it goes. It ran on Broadway for 2½ years with critics cheering “Les Miz

is born again!”

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a glorious retelling of Victor Hugo’s epic masterpiece. This power-

ful tale of love, faith and prejudice will leave you utterly spellbound. Its lush, beautiful score is unlike any-

thing in musical theatre today, featuring songs from the Disney animated feature and new music from

legendary composers Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Newsies) and Stephen Schwartz

(Wicked, Godspell and Pippin). Immerse yourself in the power and glory of rapturous music, and melt with

the passion of a magnificent story. The musical opened in Berlin in 1999 and played for three years, then

was rewritten in English and performed across the USA in 2014 and 2015.
