A splashy new promo for the recently premiered Toronto revival of international stage sensation LES MISERABLES has been unveiled, showcasing the dramatic highs, lavish spectacle and musical thrills of the iconic long-running musical, as well as the exciting new stars of this particular production.

It feels as though we've all been waiting a long time to say this, but it was finally no longer 'One Day More' as Les Miserables made her grand return to Toronto last night at The Princess of Wales Theatre, and with it, brought Richmond Hill native and West End star Ramin Karimloo home to a Toronto stage.

Below, check out a first look at the cast, including Ramin Karimloo, Earl Carpenter, and more raising the barricade in Toronto!

Ramin Karimloo is no stranger to the stage, he's had an impressive career making a name for himself in productions such as The Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies and Les Miserables on the West End. That said, Karimloo has yet to perform in a production on a Toronto stage, despite spending most of his childhood growing up in Richmond Hill and attending Toronto theatre. Now Mirvish Productions has brought him home to Toronto, where he will perform the lead role of Jean Valjean in the Canadian Premiere of the 25th Anniversary Production of Les Miserables. BWW spoke with Ramin about his Les Miserables experience, returning to Toronto, working with fellow West End star Earl Carpenter and more.

The Canadian production of Les Miserables begins previews at the end of the week, boasting an incredibly talented cast from across the country, and a 'borrowed' West End star in the role of Javert. Earl Carpenter hails from the U.K., where he has been wowing musical theatre audiences for over fifteen years. He speaks with BWW about coming to perform in Toronto, the 'new' version of Les Miserables, and working with former West End colleague Ramin Karimloo.

Excitement is building for the Toronto premiere of the new Cameron Mackintosh production of Boublil & Schonberg's masterpiece LES MISERABLES, the first show of the 2013-2014 Mirvish Subscription Season.

Glasgow is set to be haunted by not one Phantom but three as the Theatre Royal will play host to what has become the most exciting concert phenomenon to tour the UK in recent years!

From the Producers of THREE PHANTOMS comes an evening of equally fantastic 'musical mayhem'. A Touch of West End comes to the Royal Armouries Hall in Leeds for one night only.

How does one write about a work of art? Cameron Macintosh's touring production of The Phantom of the Opera is exactly that and brought the house down at the Birmingham Hippodrome last night. The 19th March is apt for the final press night of the current tour as the show is also marking it's 11,000th performance in the West End. That itself shows the incredible draw that Phantom has some 27 years on.
