Les Miserables will return to the stage for a special Christmas run, after closing nearly seven months ago amid the coronavirus pandemic. Theatre owner and producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh announced the news during the Britain’s Got Talent final on ITV. The performance coincided with Les Miserables’ 35th birthday and The Phantom Of The Opera’s 34th birthday. Appearing on stage after, Sir Cameron said: “I can’t tell you how emotional this is for me and for all of us. In June, Sir Cameron announced that shows including Mary Poppins, Hamilton and The Phantom Of The Opera would not return to the West End this year.
