THE INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL PHENOMENON
RETURNS TO LONDON THIS MONTH
WED 23 - SUN 27 JANUARY 2019
Don’t miss the smash-hit French musical as it returns to London this month for 7 performances only, after touring in 23 countries worldwide in nine languages over the last 20 years.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Victor Hugo, Notre Dame de Paris tells the story of the cathedral bell-ringer Quasimodo and his desperate love for the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda.

This stage spectacular features an international ensemble of singers, dancers, acrobats and musicians, as well as unforgettable music composed by Richard Cocciante, with lyrics by Luc Plamondon.

This original French production will be performed in French with English surtitles.

The Original London production of Les Miserables will close at the Queen’s Theatre on 13 July 2019. The theatre will spend four months being rebuilt both backstage and in the auditorium as well as adding many much-needed new lavatories to the front of house. 
The restored Queen’s Theatre will reopen in December of 2019 with the New production of LES MISÉRABLES, continuing its phenomenal run indefinitely. The acclaimed New production was created for the show’s 25th Anniversary in the UK in 2009 and has gone on to enjoy huge success around the world all over again, including returning to Broadway.  
While the Queen’s Theatre is being restored, LES MISÉRABLES will continue in performance on Shaftesbury Avenue with exciting plans being announced shortly for a four-month season at the Gielgud Theatre from the end of July 2019.

The Pleasance Theatre is kick-starting 2019 with an exciting season of brand new writing, headlined by IN LIPSTICK from multi-award-winning company Up In Arms (Visitors, The Bush; Eventide, Arcola; German Skerries, Orange Tree Theatre) and producer Ellie Keel.

Maud, a woman on the run from damage buried in her past, has sheltered Cynthia from the wildness of the world for the last few years. Cynthia loves Maud, and Maud loves Cynthia, but now she’s starting to suffocate. When she meets Dennis, a security guard at the office where she works, she thinks for a moment that she’s glimpsed an escape.

While Cynthia, the nocturnal recluse, sleeps, clinging to YouTube videos of Shirley Bassey, their dressing up box and McDonald's, Maud is preparing for the greatest performance of her life, and it’s only a matter of time before reality seeps in and shatters their cocoon of lipstick and fairytales.

Annie Jenkins’ savage, funny, deeply loving debut gives a heartfelt voice to the fractured life of the modern city. A play about sex, lies, damage, and the ceilings on our dreams from a writer who shows us both how powerful and how powerless it feels to be young, and trying to dream a future into being.

IN LIPSTICK comes from renowned theatre company Up In Arms, whose recent productions of Barney Norris’s plays have received national and international acclaim.
