Having started as a touring production before making its way to Broadway where it ran for two and a half years, the revamped staging of Les Miserables will be heading back on tour next month.

And now casting has finally been announced…

Not really excited about a Laurence Connor staging. He’s made a cottage industry of restaging Mackintosh’s old catalogue without really bringing anything new or fresh to the proceedings. And that Phantom tour is the pits.

Here’s some good footage of the Les Miserables tour cast in rehearsal. Everyone looks very pretty for downtrodden French peasants, but they sound amazing in these clips:

Les Mis in rehearsal

This show was my gateway drug into loving the theatre, so I hope the tour turns out well, despite my reservations about the director.

Have you seen the revamped production before?

As I already said, it started as a 25th anniversary tour, then it ended up coming to Broadway for 2 and a half years.

For those who either saw Cynthia Erivo’s breathtaking performance in the most recent revival or not, hopefully Adrianna Hicks should do a great enough job of making Celie her own.
