Les Miserables is now the longest running musical in the world and in October 2010, began celebrating its 25th anniversary with a theatrical first - three different productions of the same musical staged at the same time in one city - the star-studded concerts at The O2, the acclaimed new 25th Anniversary Production (which completed its sell-out UK Tour at London's Barbican Theatre) and the original production, which continues its record breaking run at the Queen's Theatre, London.

The New 25th Anniversary Production has been a huge hit all over again, currently breaking box office records across North America and in Spain, with other productions due to open worldwide in Canada, Australia, South America, South Africa, Korea, Japan and China over the next three years.

The New York Times calls this Les Miserables "an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish." The London Times hails the new show "a five star hit, astonishingly powerful."
