Theater enthusiasts in the Philippines are in for a treat as Cameron Mackintosh, in collaboration with Nick Grace Management and GMG Productions, proudly announces the arrival of Les Misérables: World Tour Spectacular at The Theatre at Solaire in January 2026. This breathtaking production, set to mark the musical’s 40th anniversary at London’s Sondheim Theatre, promises a strictly limited run of performances that will redefine the iconic show for Filipino audiences.

Hailed as a global phenomenon, Les Misérables has captivated over 130 million people worldwide. This reimagined World Tour Spectacular builds on the success of Les Misérables: The Staged Concert, which smashed records with over 200 performances in London’s West End. The production features a bold new design, enhanced with cutting-edge set and lighting, delivering an unparalleled theatrical experience. With a company and crew exceeding 110, including an international all-star cast and a dynamic ensemble of Filipino and international musicians performing live, this iteration promises to be a landmark event. Full casting details will be revealed soon.

The production has already garnered rave reviews during its 2024 run across the UK, Europe, and Australia, where it broke attendance records. Critics have been effusive in their praise, with Scotland’s Daily Record declaring it “powerfully perfect,” Sydney’s Limelight calling it “superb,” and Sydney’s The Guardian describing the experience as “magical.”

“This monumental show is returning to Manila in a groundbreaking format,” said Carlos Candal, CEO of GMG Productions. “Filipino audiences have an unmatched passion for world-class theater, and this epic reimagining of Les Misérables will be unlike anything they’ve seen before. We’re honored to bring this global sensation to The Theatre at Solaire.”

Based on Victor Hugo’s timeless novel, Les Misérables: World Tour Spectacular is written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, and original French text by Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel. Additional material comes from James Fenton, with adaptation by Trevor Nunn and John Caird. The production boasts orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe, Christopher Jahnke, and Stephen Brooker, with original orchestrations by John Cameron. Directed by James Powell and Jean-Pierre Van Der Spuy, the show features stunning designs by Matt Kinley, costumes by Andreane Neofitou, Christine Rowland, and Paul Wills, lighting by Paule Constable and Warren Letton, sound by Mick Potter, and projections by Finn Ross. Music supervision is led by Stephen Brooker and Alfonso Casado Trigo, with the Les Misérables orchestra conducted by Adrian Kirk.

As the world’s longest-running and most beloved musical continues its global journey, Manila audiences can expect a theatrical spectacle that will lift the roof off The Theatre at Solaire.
