Since the world tour opened in Belfast in September 2024, Les Misérables Arena Tour has sold over one million tickets worldwide, captivating audiences across 30 cities and 25 countries. These newly announced performances will mark the culmination of Les Misérables’ 40th Anniversary celebrations, honouring the world’s longest-running musical.
The London production has just entered its 41st year at the Sondheim Theatre, while Les Misérables was last seen on Broadway in 2016. Full casting announcements for the 2026 tour dates will be revealed soon.
Producer Cameron Mackintosh shared:
The Arena Concert Spectacular, which I put together as a World Tour to celebrate the incredible 40th year of Les Mis continuously running in London, has been a success beyond my wildest dreams, attracting capacity crowds around the world since it opened over a year ago - even in countries where the full stage production has never yet played.The Arena Tour has already sold over a million tickets, and the rapturous reception has been the same for over 300 performances in 30 cities across 25 countries around the globe wherever MIZ ROCKS is playing. Continuing what will have been an almost two-year record-breaking run, I am thrilled to announce that in 2026 we will be bringing home this iconic event to Dublin and Birmingham before it plays two of the World’s most iconic music venues – the Royal Albert Hall in London in June and Radio City Music Hall in New York in July.We haven’t played the Royal Albert Hall since the show’s legendary 10th Anniversary Concert (which has just been remastered and released on vinyl for the first time) and in New York, Les Misérables has not been seen for almost a decade since we closed our third triumphant run on Broadway. Even our return to Dublin, to the 3Arena (formerly the legendary Point), is full of Les Mis resonance as it is the place where our original Irish star, the great Colm Wilkinson, came home to play Jean Valjean – we hope to have another great Irish star to make the upcoming Dublin engagement equally memorable. We are putting together an incredible array of Les Mis alumni for these engagements and look forward to announcing our cast later in the year.I am especially excited about bringing this Arena production to New York as America is the only major English-speaking country in the world where I have not yet produced the concert. So, I was personally delighted that we were invited to do so by Radio City Music Hall where American audiences can see this spectacular event for the first time.To quote The Times, “Only Les Mis can generate an atmosphere between a rock concert and a football match – a hypnotic and virtuoso production”.Looking forward to seeing you roll up to MIZ ROCKS…. But hurry to avoid having to storm the barricades for a ticket!
With breathtaking staging, state-of-the-art lighting, and a world-class cast and orchestra, Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production delivers Les Misérables on a scale never before seen- an electrifying celebration of one of the greatest musicals of all time.
