Les Miserables 40th Anniversary Cast Album - CD

Les Misérables is the world’s longest-running musical and a towering masterpiece of the stage. Against the sweeping backdrop of 19th-century France, this epic tale of redemption and the resilience of the human spirit follows Jean Valjean’s quest for a new life, pursued by the relentless shadows of his past.

Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed, brilliant new staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed “Les Mis for the 21st Century” (Huffington Post), “a reborn dream of a production” (Daily Telegraph) and “perfect theatre in a perfect theatre” (Sunday Telegraph). The 40th Anniversary all-star cast includes Killian Donnelly (Valjean), Bradley Jaden (Javert), Katie Hall (Fantine), James D. Gish (Enjorlas), Shan Ako (Eponine), Beatrice Penny-Toure (Cosette), and Jac Yarrow (Marius).

The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the hit songs; “I Dreamed a Dream”, “On My Own”, “Bring Him Home”, “One Day More”, “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and many more. Seen by over 150 million people worldwide in 57 countries and in 22 languages, Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals.

Cameron Mackintosh said: “As Les Mis approached its 40th record-breaking year in London last October, I felt it was the perfect time to record the first complete album of the contemporary production of this great musical as it is now staged all over the world. We wanted it to have the quality of a studio recording while maintaining the excitement and emotion of being on stage with the actors, right in the midst of the action.
