Joining them will be musical theatre stars Patrice Tipoki as ‘Fantine’, Kerrie Anne Greenland as ‘Eponine’, Chris Durling as ‘Enjolras’ and Emily Langridge as ‘Cosette’ who come directly from performing the show in Sydney.

Cameron Mackintosh said: "Next year will mark twenty years since Les Miserables was last in Singapore, and I am excited to now be bringing the new production to the Esplanade, which has proved just as successful all over the world as the original production that has just celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in London – the only place in the world where you can still see the original production.

"Having created my new production over five years ago to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Les Miserables, it is now in its second year on Broadway, and broken box office records across America and in Canada for over three years, with separate companies in Japan, Korea, Spain and of course Australia, where it is sweeping all the top awards. I am delighted to bring this hugely successful new production to Singapore with this incredible cast.” 

It was recently announced that Rachelle Ann Go, Earl Carpenter and Simon Gleeson will star in Les Miserables in Manila.
