The barricades are coming to Singapore. Les Miserables – The Arena Spectacular, a new staging of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg’s legendary musical, storms into the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands from March 24, 2026.

This grand arena production, reimagined from The Staged Concert and now scaled to epic proportions, brings a cast and orchestra of over 65 to the stage in Singapore, with soaring visuals, thunderous music, and the timeless tale of revolution, redemption, and love.

Based on French author Victor Hugo’s immortal novel, the stage version of Les Misérables has moved over 130 million people across 54 countries and 22 languages. With timeless songs like I Dreamed A Dream, On My Own, and One Day More, it remains one of the world’s most beloved musicals.

Les Miserables – The Arena Spectacular runs three hours and five minutes, including a 20-minute intermission. Full casting to be announced soon.

Presented as part of a global tour, the production in Singapore is brought to life by Cameron Mackintosh in association with Nick Grace Management and Base Entertainment Asia.
