Les Misérables arena tour – cast dates and performers for European shows confirmed

The eagerly-anticipated Les MIsérables arena tour is now in rehearsals ahead of initial performances in Belfast!

A major celebration of the iconic musical (which is due to celebrate its 40th anniversary next year), the arena tour will be stopping off in UK cities before visiting further European countries over the next few months, before heading across multiple continents. Think of it like the Eras Tour but for fans of iconic musical theatre.

With that in mind (and bear in mind all dates are subject to change), here are the dates that all the principal performers are performing at, across both continental European cities and the various UK spots.

You can find out more about the tour here.
