This new production has been acclaimed by critics, fans and new audiences and is breaking box office records wherever it goes. The New York Times calls LES MISÉRABLES “an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish.” The London Times hails the new show “a five-star hit, astonishingly powerful.”

Just in time for the holidays, CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE takes the stage November 27-December 2, 2012.
