“Black – the night that ends at last!” Indeed, the night that is the drought after Les Miserables’ last showing in Singapore, circa 2015, is finally ending at last. Come March 2026, Les Miserables The Arena Spectacular will be playing at Sands Theatre in Marina Bay Sands for a very limited showing – here’s what you need to know about Les Mis.
Just so you know, prior to the 2015 run at Esplanade Theatre, Les Mis had only come to Singapore 20 years before that – that’s 1985, if you’ve lost count. Fittingly, 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of this iconic musical, but March isn’t that long after the year’s ended, we suppose.
Beyond that dearth between showings, this version of Les Miserables is set to be the most electrifying one yet, as The Arena Spectacular might clue you in to.
It’s going to be different from the record-breaking Les Miserables The Staged Concert that’s played more than 200 shows in the West End, with what’s touted to be “an extraordinary new design specifically created for larger venues”, and new set and lighting designs. You can also look forward to celebrated Les Mis alumni returning to the stage for this special edition.
This edition of the world’s longest-running musical only hit the stage in September last year, and the World Tour has seen it played in the UK, Europe, and Australia, before hitting China, Taiwan and Japan this year.
If you’re not already geeking out, here’s the lowdown on what this hit musical is about:
Les Mis the musical is based on an 1862 novel of the same name by Victor Hugo, set in early 19th-century France. The story is centred around Jean Valjean, a French peasant who steals a loaf of bread for his sister’s starving child and gets caught.
He’s imprisoned for 19 years before he’s released on parole. However, he realises that as an ex-convict, there are no second chances for him. He takes on a new identity as Monsieur Madeleine, becoming a successful businessman and Mayor.
Without spoiling it further, the rest of the story unfolds against the backdrop of the French Revolution, examining the social injustices and abject poverty of the time – as echoed in one of the most recognisable lines from the score, which goes, “Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men?”
