For 8 weeks only, a special company will celebrate Les Misérables’ 40th anniversary in the West End. Shan Ako will star as Eponine, alongside - Killian Donnelly will play Jean Valjean, with Bradley Jaden as Javert, Katie Hall as Fantine, Jac Yarrow as Marius, Jordan Shaw as Enjolras and Beatrice Penny-Touré as Cosette. Adam Gillen will appear as Thénardier and Marina Prior as Madame Thénardier. Ian McIntosh will also perform the role of Jean Valjean at certain performances.

September 8th - November 2nd

Producer Cameron Mackintosh explains: “In celebration of our 40th birthday, I have put together, as I have always done for major celebrations, a special cast for eight weeks only, drawn from the outstanding performers of the last decade’s international productions of Les Mis, as well as the current Arena Spectacular and the Oscar-winning movie, all of whom have emerged as new theatre stars. This will be the last time that they will all be able to play together in Les Mis as their careers take them onto new stellar paths.
