Love, war and redemption - all the ingredients needed for an epic tale. Based on the acclaimed 19th century novel by Victor Hugo and compelling audiences since 1985; Les Misérables is a dramatic masterpiece. By adding evocative music to an already engaging story, Cameron Mackintosh has created a journey of emotion. As you watch the stories of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, factory worker Fantine and her daughter Cosette unfold, you can’t help but be moved. Indeed, as hits such as I Dreamed a Dream and Empty Chairs at Empty Tables are sung, you’ll be transported to a world of conflicts and, moreover, conflicting emotions.

They were just four guys from New Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect onstage, off stage it was a very different story, a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true.  The show is packed with their hits, including Beggin’, Sherry, Walk Like A Man, December, 1963 (Oh What a Night), Big Girls Don’t Cry, My Eyes Adored You, Let’s Hang On (To What We’ve Got), Bye Bye Baby, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Working My Way Back to You, Fallen Angel, Rag Doll and Who Loves You.

Newlyweds Corie and Paul are excited to begin their life together in their new apartment in Manhattan. It may be small and a six-flight climb, the heating may be busted and snow may be falling through the skylight, but nothing can quash their newlywed bliss. Paul is a straight-laced lawyer and Corie a romantic free-spirit; nevertheless, opposites attract and the two are wild about each other. Corie decides to set her conservative widowed mother up with their eccentric, bohemian neighbour – Mr Velasco. A wild night ensues, one that highlights just how different Corie and Paul are. The young couple must learn how to accept and embrace their differences as they learn that marriage is no easy walk in the park – shoes or no shoes.
