The iconic musical that’s touched hearts for decades is back—now on a grander scale in an all-new expanded version.
Some stories stick with us. Not because they’re trendy or constantly rebooted, but because they speak to something deeper, something real. Les Misérables is one of those stories. It’s not just another period drama or classic musical. It’s a powerful reflection of the struggles that people have faced across generations—and continue to face today.
At its core, Les Misérables unpacks themes like social injustice, resistance, and redemption. These are not just 19th-century French problems. The issues in this musical are still painfully relevant. They include inequality, systemic oppression, the fight for basic dignity, and mental health awareness. Whether you advocate for marginalized communities or push for policy reform, or just try to survive modern life’s pressures, Les Misérables has something that hits home.
With emotionally charged music and gut-wrenching performances, this musical is more than just entertainment. It’s a cathartic, soul-shaking experience—and now, it’s coming to Singapore in a whole new way.
Here’s Everything You Need to Know About ‘Les Misérables: The Arena Spectacular’ in Singapore
Mark your calendars. From March 24 to April 19, 2026, Les Misérables: The Arena Spectacular will take over Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands. It’s a reimagined production that marks the 40th anniversary of one of the world’s most iconic and longest-running musicals.
Based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean and his lifelong journey for justice, love, and redemption in a society stacked against him. But in this new expanded version—adapted from Les Misérables: The Staged Concert—everything is amplified. Yes, we’re talking about an epic cast of over 65 performers and musicians, next-level set and lighting design, and a scale that’s built specifically for arena-style venues.
After opening in Belfast in 2024, the tour has already made waves across cities like Taipei and is heading to Tokyo, Osaka, and Shanghai before arriving in Singapore. Uh-huh, it’s kind of a big deal.
Of course, the set list still includes the beloved anthems that fans can’t get enough of—I Dreamed a Dream, On My Own, Bring Him Home, and One Day More. It’s written by French duo Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg and produced by Cameron Mackintosh alongside Nick Grace Management. The Singapore show is presented by Base Entertainment Asia, led by CEO Chantal Prudhomme.
