Les Misérables: 40 Years of Theatrical History Come to Century II

Les Misérables opened in London's West End in 1985 and on Broadway in 1987, where it won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. In the decades since, it has been seen by more than 130 million people in 53 countries and 22 languages, cementing its place as one of the most performed musicals in history. The show follows Jean Valjean, a former prisoner who reinvents himself as a factory owner and mayor while being relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert. Against the backdrop of early 19th-century France and the 1832 Paris Uprising, the story expands to include Fantine (whose aria "I Dreamed a Dream" is among the most recognized songs in theater history), the waif Cosette, the revolutionary student Marius, and the fierce, heartbroken Éponine singing "On My Own."

The current touring production is drawn from Cameron Mackintosh's celebrated reimagining, which debuted in 2009 with a new production design by Matt Kinley inspired by the paintings of Hugo himself. Rather than the original rotating turntable stage, this version uses cinematic projections and more intimate staging to bring audiences closer to the human drama at the show's core. The result is a production that feels as emotionally devastating as ever — perhaps more so, because the scale is scaled to serve the story rather than overwhelm it.

Century II Concert Hall sits in the heart of Wichita at 225 W. Douglas Avenue, part of the Century II Performing Arts and Convention Center complex. The hall seats approximately 2,200 and has hosted major touring Broadway productions for years, with superb acoustics built for orchestral and theatrical performance. Wichita theater fans are well-served by a hall of this caliber, and Les Misérables is exactly the kind of production it was designed for.

The September 9–13 engagement offers seven performances, including matinees, giving audiences several opportunities across the week to choose their preferred show. Whether you're coming for a weeknight evening or a weekend matinee, each performance delivers the complete production with the full touring cast and NETworks touring company production values.
