Mackintosh has produced a range of award-winning musicals including Hamilton, Mary Poppins, and The Phantom of the Opera.

He said: “Fans will get the chance to see their favourite stars in their favourite musical.

“Both the show and the score of Les Mis continues to win poll after poll around the world as the public’s favourite musical of all time containing so many of the most memorable and beloved songs ever written for the musical theatre.”

The world tour will be brought to the P&J Live in association with Nick Grace Management. The venue has recently hosted figures such as Elton John, Justin Bieber and Lewis Capaldi.

The tour will be expanded from the Les Misérables The Staged Concert which has played at the West End for over 200 record-breaking performances. It will also run through the stage musical’s 40th anniversary celebrations for the world’s longest-running musical.

Louise Stewart, head of entertainment, exhibitions and marketing, said: “Aberdeen, get ready to hear the people sing! We are ecstatic to welcome one of the world’s favourite musicals to the P&J Live.

“With the people of the north-east getting not one but five incredible shows of this amazing adapted production for the big stage – it will be spectacular with a score of iconic songs!”

As well as the United Kingdom, the tour will be performing in Australia, Sweden, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. To sign up for priority booking, which will open on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, please go to lesmis.com/worldtour
