The world tour of Les Misérables: The Arena Concert Spectacular will make its North American premiere in summer 2026 at Radio City Music Hall.

The acclaimed concert production of the international hit musical will play the Manhattan venue July 23-August 2, 2026. Interested theatregoers can sign up at NYC.LesMis.com for access to the Radio City Music Hall pre-sale, which begins October 22 at 10 AM ET. Tickets will go on sale to the general public October 24 at 10 AM ET via Ticketmaster.

In addition to the North American premiere, producer Cameron Mackintosh also announced new engagements at the 3Arena in Dublin (May 29–June 6, 2026), Utilita Arena in Birmingham (June 11–14, 2026), and London’s Royal Albert Hall (June 18–21, 2026). 

Following a record-breaking two-year run since opening in Belfast in September 2024, the new dates will mark the end of the official 40th anniversary celebrations of Les Misérables. The musical last played Broadway in 2016, and the London production has just entered its 41st year at the Sondheim Theatre.

Full casting for the new tour dates will be announced at a later time.

“I am thrilled that we will be bringing home this iconic event to New York’s legendary Radio City Music Hall in July 2026. Les Misérables has not been seen in New York for almost a decade, since we closed our third triumphant run on Broadway. We are putting together an incredible array of Les Mis alumni for this engagement and look forward to announcing our cast later in the year,” shared producer Mackintosh in a statement.

“I am especially excited about bringing this arena production to New York as America is the only major English-speaking country in the world where I have not yet produced the concert. So, I was personally delighted that we were invited to do so by Radio City Music Hall where American audiences can see this spectacular event for the first time."

The Mackintosh production is written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, based on the novel by Victor Hugo. It has music by Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, and original French text by Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, additional material by James Fenton, and adaptation by Trevor Nunn and John Caird. 

Orchestrations are by Stephen Metcalfe, Christopher Jahnke, and Stephen Brooker, with original orchestrations by John Cameron. The production is directed by James Powell and Jean-Pierre Van Der Spuy, designed by Matt Kinley, with costumes by Andreane Neofitou, Christine Rowland, and Paul Wills, lighting by Paule Constable and Warren Letton, sound by Mick Potter, projections realized by Finn Ross, and music supervision by Stephen Brooker and Alfonso Casado Trigo.

The Arena Concert Spectacular was developed from the successful Les Misérables The Staged Concert, which played over 200 record-breaking performances in the West End and the 25th Anniversary performance at The O2. It features a new design created for larger venues.

Mackintosh’s production of Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables also continues its record-breaking run at the Sondheim Theatre in London’s West End. 

The Arena Concert Spectacular is produced by Mackintosh and Nick Grace Management. The Radio City Music Hall engagement is presented locally by The Bowery Presents.
