A Northern Ireland musical theatre society will lead the way as part of a unique collaborative effort to stage one of the world’s favourite musicals, Les Misérables.
The show, which has never previously been made available to amateur groups in the UK whilst it continues to play to packed houses in London’s West End, will be staged in Belfast’s Grand Opera House in March 2025. Colin Boyd, Chairman of Belfast Operatic Company, said: “It is our great honour to be one of the first musical theatre societies in the UK to produce and perform Les Misérables. We are very grateful to Sir Cameron, his team and the colleagues at Music Theatre International for putting their trust in us to create this new original production.
“Staging this beloved show is a magnificent opportunity for us to showcase the very best performing talent Northern Ireland has to offer. It promises to be a production which our performers and our audiences will never forget.
