Hey Detroit, Les Misérables is coming to the Fisher Theatre and I am beyond excited. I previously saw this show when I was in 9th grade as part of a French class field trip, and remember how amazing it was - so I am thrilled to see it as an adult.
Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, LES MISÉRABLES, will play Detroit’s Fisher Theatre, February 27 – March 11 direct from a celebrated two-and-a-half year Broadway engagement. Tickets start at $45 and are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 800-982-2787 and online at www.broadwayindetroit.com or www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets are also available for purchase at the Fisher Theatre box office.
With glorious new staging
and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor
Hugo, this breathtaking production of
LES MISÉRABLES,
which broke box office records during its pre-Broadway tour, has left both audiences and critics awestruck, cheering “Les
Miz is born again!”
(NY1).
Cameron Mackintosh said, “I‘m
delighted that after a four year
absence this glorious production is once again touring the major cities
across North America and is more spectacular than ever.”
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France,
LES MISÉRABLES
tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love,
passion, sacrifice and redemption – a timeless testament to the survival
of the human spirit. Featuring one of the greatest scores of all time,

A Dream,” “On My Own,” “Stars," “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” “Do
You Hear the People Sing” and many more, this epic and uplifting story
has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history.

still the world’s most popular musical, breaking box office records everywhere in its 32nd year.
