Australian cast members set to star in international productions of Les Les Misérables

Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed new production of Boublil & Schönberg ‘s legendary musical, Les Misérables, has celebrated triumphant seasons in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney and opens at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre in Brisbane on November 10th.

The Australian production boasts the most remarkable cast with the three leads ready to show the world why Cameron Mackintosh cast them in their respective roles as they continue their Les Mis journey at the conclusion of the Australian season. As previously announced Simon Gleeson, who won a Helpmann Award for his heartrending portrayal as Jean Valjean, will lead the production for seasons in Manila and Singapore from March next year. Simon will star alongside Rachelle Ann Go, direct from the West End production, and Earl Carpenter from Broadway.

Adding to this excitement Hayden Tee will take his incredible portrayal of Javert to New York where he will assume the role from February in the Broadway production. Hayden has firmly staked his claim on Valjean’s lifelong antagonist Javert, earning him a Green Room Award and a Theatre People Pro Choice Award for ‘Best Individual Performance’.

Patrice Tipoki will also be packing her bags and heading to London to star as Fantine in the West End production from February. She will bring her much loved “I Dreamed a Dream” to the production, which just celebrated its 30th Anniversary, until May when she will then join the production in Singapore.

In Australia, Cameron Mackintosh has launched the careers of some of the country’s biggest stars, including Marina Prior and Anthony Warlow after casting them in Les Misérables. Two years ago, he cast Simon, Hayden and Patrice with the same intent and they are now poised to follow the same path.

“One of the joys of the huge success of the new Les Misérables is the revelation of a new generation of major Australian talents including Simon Gleeson, Hayden Tee and Patrice Tipoki who has brought a unique dignity to her movingly sung Fantine. I’ m delighted to announce that after the season in Brisbane, Patrice will be playing the role in London where the show has just celebrated its record breaking 30th birthday while Rachelle Ann Go, who is currently playing Fantine there, will go to Manilla to join
