Interesting facts

Les Misérables: The Staged Concert is a 2019 British live stage recording of the 1980 musical Les Misérables, itself an adaptation of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel, filmed at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End on 2 December 2019, and broadcast live to UK and Irish cinemas. Starring Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Carrie Hope Fletcher and Matt Lucas, it was the final performance of the stage production Les Misérables: The All-Star Staged Concert, which ran for four months from 10 August. The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.

Background

Queen's Theatre, which had hosted Les Misérables since 2004, closed for refurbishment in July 2019, and the show moved to the adjacent Gielgud Theatre for four months, allowing its record breaking run to continue. During its stay at the Gielgud, Les Misérables took the form of an all-star staged concert and ran for 16 weeks between 10 August and 30 November.
