Any big stars will be going on the Arena Tour. But, I'm sure we'll be pleasantly surprised.

(Vested interest as I’m seeing it w/c 14th Oct) Not really a knowing comment. I trust the Les Mis casting to put some great performers out there. |

Milan just announced that his last show in Les Mis will be 12/10, which is kind of weird since the presumed last date would be 21/9, a year from when the 2023/2024 cast began performances. Does anyone know if it's just him or if they are delaying the entire cast change? Its the entire cast change on that date Has this been confirmed? (If was the usual 25th ish September, you'd have thunk would have been announced by now!) |

Obviously Milan has confirmed his last shows on the 12th and I’ve heard it from others at stage door that it is the 12 (I’ve heard that the cast did actually extend the extra few weeks so cast change was originally on the 21st) although Brad Barnley is leaving in the 21st although that’s probably because he’s going to New York with Grace. If the timescale from announcement to starting performances from last year holds i expect an announcement next week |

Guys, what are we thinking here? Are we ever getting an announcement, or will we just have to show up on cast change day and be surprised? 😂

I’m now convinced Mis will announce cast news along with an extension since Hamilton has just announced an extension and the Cameron mackintosh shows tend to extend at around the same time and we are overdue news.

Yes, this is looking very likely, given they’ve just made exactly that announcement for Mamma Mia! So with Hamilton yesterday and MM today, perhaps it’ll be Les Mis’ turn tomorrow? |

I've always been a massive Les Mis defender and I like the new staging but me, now in the interval... definitely feels dull tonight. Maybe because of the incoming cast change? If I weren't here with friends, I'd go home now to get an early night's sleep  Hopefully the new cast will be given fresh direction and they'll give the set some more love. |

Act 2 was great as always but definitely feels more muted than maybe at the start of a run. I'll make sure to come back for the new cast!

Haha, glad I’m not the only one bonkers enough to be very excited about a cast change announcement for a show that’s been running 40 odd years :-)
Surely it looms!

At the end of the day, On my own I Dreamed a Dream of a cast change announcement. Hope it will contain some Stars or those in the circle will have to Look Down on Little People. With casting though it's Dog Eat Dog and without a name or two it could be Empty Chairs at Empty Tables in the bar, but Who Am I to speculate?

This is just when Valjean randomly name drops a bunch of song titles at the end of the show |

OK, people, I think we should all band together, build a barricade and DEMAND a cast announcement! 🤣 Yes! I was wrong about it being yesterday, but maybe today will bring the news we’ve been waiting for. This week in Les Mis world does seem to have been focused on the arena tour with the rehearsal video and other promotion so perhaps they’re focused on that rather than the West End production at the moment. |

Les Mis is now back on TKTS with on the day seats @ £42.50 and £58.50. They are online from midnight and were still available at Leicester Square when I passed by at 4.30 yesterday afternoon
Last couple of times I checked during August TKTS only had full price.
