The highly anticipated Manila season of Cameron Mackintosh’s Les Misérables: The World Tour Spectacular, produced by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, has announced a final two-week extension due to overwhelming demand. Originally scheduled from January 20 to February 15, 2026, the production will now run until March 1, 2026, at The Theatre at Solaire.

The announcement follows an extraordinary response from Filipino audiences, with thousands joining the ticket waitlist even before sales began. Presented by GMG Productions in association with Cameron Mackintosh and Nick Grace Management, this landmark production promises a never-before-seen experience in Manila. “From the moment we announced Les Misérables: The World Tour Spectacular, it was clear how deeply the show resonated with Filipino audiences,” said Carlos Candal, CEO of GMG Productions. “We’re thrilled that even more fans will now get the chance to experience it.”

This production builds on the success of Les Misérables: The Staged Concert, which ran for over 200 record-breaking performances in London’s West End. The World Tour Spectacular features a bold new design with enhanced set and lighting, a company and crew of over 110, and a live orchestra combining Filipino and international musicians. The international all-star cast will be announced soon.

Tickets for the newly added show dates are now available exclusively through TicketWorld. The production, sponsored by UnionBank of the Philippines as GMG Productions’ official 2025 season bank sponsor, will run from January 20 to March 1, 2026, with no further extensions possible.
