The revival was directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell and starred Ramin Karimloo, Caissie Levy, Nikki M. James, Samantha Hill, Andy Mientus, Will Swenson, Keala Settle, Cliff Saunders and Kyle Scatliffe.
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, LES MIZ is an unforgettable story of heartbreak, passion, and the resilience of the human spirit, that has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history.
