Cameron Mackintosh, in partnership with Nick Grace Management and GMG Productions, has revealed the initial cast for LES MISÉRABLES THE WORLD TOUR SPECTACULAR, coming to The Theatre at Solaire from January 20 to March 1, 2026.
The production brings together a global lineup of acclaimed West End and Broadway performers. Gerónimo Rauch will play Jean Valjean, with Jeremy Secomb as Javert. Filipino talents headline key roles: Lea Salonga as Madame Thénardier, Rachelle Ann Go as Fantine, Red Concepción as Thénardier, and Emily Bautista as Éponine. Additional Filipino actors were cast after auditions in Manila for the role of Little Cosette.
“We’re incredibly honored to bring LES MISÉRABLES: THE WORLD TOUR SPECTACULAR to Manila, and we’re equally delighted to see Filipino talent represented both on stage and among the musicians,” said GMG Productions CEO Carlos Candal.
Other cast members include Will Callan as Marius, Lulu-Mae Pears as Cosette, Harry Chandler as Enjolras, and Earl Carpenter as the Bishop of Digne. The production features a full live orchestra with Filipino and international musicians, including John Gerald Calma, Dino Decena, Mary Anne Espina, Mhaze Lim, and others.
The show builds on the success of the West End’s Les Misérables The Staged Concert, which ran for over 200 performances. The tour features new set and lighting designs, a cast and crew of over 110, and live music, creating a production of unprecedented scale for Manila.
Since its 2024 launch in the UK and Europe, the tour has visited 30 cities, selling over 1 million tickets worldwide, including record-breaking runs in Australia, Japan, and Shanghai. The Manila engagement is expected to match this level of enthusiasm.
Final tickets are now available exclusively through TicketWorld. The Manila season is produced by Cameron Mackintosh and Nick Grace Management and presented by GMG Productions, with UnionBank of the Philippines as the official season sponsor.
LES MISÉRABLES THE WORLD TOUR SPECTACULAR opens January 20 and closes March 1, 2026—don’t miss this landmark theatrical event.
