Les Miserables

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Les Miserables is one of the longest running musicals on the West End, and has been delighting London theatre audiences for years. The Queens Theatre will now welcome American pop sensation Nick Jonas of pop band Jonas Brothers, who will take on the role of Marius for a three week run starting 21st June. Theatre tickets are currently on sale for les Miserables.

Director Cameron Mackintosh is said to have spotted the 17 year old whilst he played Gavroche on Broadway during 2003, and has since negotiated the deal which involves him breaking off from his current concert tour.

Mackintosh commented in the Daily Mail, saying : “I went up to him at the closing night party in New York and told him he was terrific and hoped that one day he would return to play Marius. We’ve been in touch a lot and, of course, since then he has become this world-famous star. He, his father and I agreed that it would be great if he came and played Marius here in London.”

Les Miserables meanwhile is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. A special anniversary touring production will mark the occasion, which will include a return to its original opening venue the Barbican, and a possible concert involving Nick Jonas at the 02 Arena – both tipped for later this year.

Les Miserables London theatre tickets

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Considered to be one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century this masterpiece by Victor Hugo has been captivating audiences since its creation. The tale of Valjean who escapes from prison after being imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family is as alluring today as it was when the book was written.

Undoubtedly the screen adaptation of this masterpiece brings all the great characters of the book to life with great gusto. It’s fascinating watching the story of how Valjean changes from being a thief to promising the sickly woman Fantine that he would bring her daughter to her.

To add to the great storyline are historical facts surrounding the time of the French Revolution that the author managed to spin quite wonderfully into the overall plot of the story. The wonderful story of Les Miserables is currently on at the Queen’s Theatre and Concierge Desk are able to provide London theatre tickets to anyone who wishes to experience this extraordinary tale.
