Les Miserables’ 40th anniversary celebration comes to Singapore

Les Miserables The Arena Spectacular World Tour

The world’s longest-running musical, Les Miserables, is bringing its 40th anniversary celebration to Singapore.

Les Miserables The Arena Spectacular World Tour, which will run from March 24 to May 10, features a cast that includes Singaporean stage actress Nathania Ong. She plays the tragic Eponine, the same breakout role she took on in London’s West End in 2022.

Argentine actor Geronimo Rauch takes on the role of peasant Jean Valjean, while Australian actor Jeremy Secomb is police inspector Javert.

Unlike Les Miserables the musical, The Arena Spectacular will feature screens on both sides of the stage showing close-ups of the characters performing.

Les Miserables premiered in the West End in 1985. It has been staged in Singapore three times – at Kallang Theatre in 1994 and 1996, and at Esplanade Theatre in 2016.
