I guess what they mean by "staged concert" is what they did at the RAH for Phantom. A fully acted concert with some props and stuff. No barricade though. And probably projections. This is what I imagined too. Anyway, I'D like to see Jamie Muscato as Marius

Antony Hansen just postet something about a Cover run on Instagram and "spoiler alert" I think the #spoileralert is in relation to his #deadjeanvaljean.

maybe they were not ready to tell the world and the Daily mail was too fast?

Urghhh Alfie Boe. The worst ‘actor’ ever seen on a west end stage.

The ticket sales for the Queens has picked up - very busy now! I thought I might go to see the original brilliant staging for one last time but it seems a lot of other people have had the same idea!! Amazingly there's still tickets available for the last night though (at 'normal' prices). Snap em up quick kids - now confirmed as the end of the incredible Nunn/Caird Les Mis!

We can all just meet in the pub across the street. Reserve the window seats. Sit with our drinks and watch the carnage unfold. Yes the Rupert Street Bar is right opposite the stage door of the Gielgud Theatre! We can have a very gay evening in there watching the stage door spectacle! I'm there!

We should rename this thread for the Summer.
"Les Mis: On a Budget... but not for you!".

They should cast JOJ. He's perfect. Saw him twice as Phantom. Sensational! That man could impregnate me with his voice.

JOJ was an amazing Valjean on the last tour. What a voice!

I haven't seen JOJ in Les Mis, but I loved him in The Wild Party at The Other Palace!

Not thrilled by this. I paid an arm and a leg to watch Alfie Boe ‘act’ in the Broadway production a few years ago and that was three hours I’ll never get back. Having said that though, he may be better in a concert version!

Wow! I was half wondering whether I'll ever get a ticket for the last performance of the original version at the Gielgud.
Now that ticket for the last Queens production is even more special.
Maybe there should be a get together for those who managed to get a ticket for that last night!
Mixed about the concert cast but I'll give it a go. Maybe not an expensive seat near the front like I always bought for the Queens version.

I'm in row C on the final performance and I'm now looking forward to it even more knowing it really will be the end of the revolve.

JOJ is a superb Valjean and Phantom. He can do no wrong in either role.
Am I the only one who finds it laughable Les Mis is being reduced to a concert version for several months? And yet the Guinness Book of Records say it'll still hold the record for longest-running musical? Makes you wonder if Cameron paid for the title!

It makes absolutely no sense to me, it's a completely different production, as will the production at the Queen's Theatre. There will of been some work behind the scenes go keep that title as it really shouldn't be kept like that.

I never comment on understudies, but I wonder who will be Alfie's on October 16 and 17 because he will not be there.

Also the article I read says the concert version will start on 10th August. If true that's a month gap from it closing at Queen's. That's certainly not continous!
