Les Miserables at Academy of Music

From the moment of the musical's creation in the 1980s, Les Misérables has transformed from a short-lived musical sung in French found in Paris to one of the most top-rated and hit musicals in the world. Over the last 40 years that this stunning show has been running, the show has toured in 22 different languages, in 53 countries, and has been watched by over 130 million people worldwide.

In September, the musical’s tour is expected to perform in a new location in Philadelphia, where Les Mis will be performed in Academy Of Music on Saturday 7th September 2024. Academy Of Music was purposefully created and constructed as the finest play venue of Philadelphia, housing a well-crafted stage and seating setup that is large enough to host a show of this standard, in addition to adequate amenities that are available within the venue.

The show revolves around the story of Jean Valjean, a parolee desperately searching for a second chance after breaks free from the chain gang. Jean Valjean's entire journey, and the relationships he builds along the way, are performed with everything lyricized from the beginning to the final act of the play. The West End musical being sung from start to finish is a clever manner of execution that the musical has over other known Broadway productions, and is the main cause why each minute of the play always stuns its viewers, conveying utmost feeling in every phrase or note performed.

It's quite unique and because of this style, the show is also overflowing with impressive ballads and anthems. Interestingly, despite the myriad of numbers that can be watched in the show, each role in the stage adaptation is given their own spotlight, with each discrete ballad given as much emotional depth as the rest. Neither theatergoers nor film viewers of Les Mis can forget Fantine’s “I Dreamed A Dream”, which brings with it a powerful longing and has been performed without end by famous artists in modern TV. “Bring Him Home” also passionately creates one of the musical's best moments, revealing to us the very soul of Jean Valjean’s character in only one absolutely magnificent number.

This stunning play will only be showing in Academy Of Music, Philadelphia for a limited time and on Saturday 7th September 2024; seats are currently available for sale via our ticketing partner through the links that can be found on top of this page.
