		</div><p>Les Miserables will return to the stage for a special Christmas run, after closing nearly seven months ago amid the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>Theatre owner and producer Cameron Mackintosh announced the news during the Britain’s Got Talent final on ITV.</p>
<p>The show will run at the Sondheim Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue for six weeks from December 5th, with both Michael Ball and Matt Lucas starring.</p>
<p>The news came after the combined companies of Les Miserables – The Staged Concert, The Phantom Of The Opera and Mary Poppins took to the stage on Britain’s Got Talent for a musical medley.</p>
<p>The performance coincided with Les Miserables’ 35th birthday and The Phantom Of The Opera’s 34th birthday.</p>
<p>Appearing on stage after, Mr Mackintosh said: “I can’t tell you how emotional this is for me and for all of us.</p>
<p>“I cannot believe that these performers, great friends of mine, have not performed before tonight for seven months. It is extraordinary.”</p>

<p>He said he hoped the performance had inspired Chancellor Rishi Sunak to push for the reopening of theatres.</p>

<p>In June, Mr Mackintosh announced that shows including Mary Poppins, Hamilton and The Phantom Of The Opera would not return to the West End this year.</p>
<p>It comes after the announcement this week that pantomime is returning to the West End.</p>
<p>Pantoland at The Palladium will play across December in front of a socially-distanced audience and star Julian Clary, Ashley Banjo and Diversity, Nigel Havers and Beverley Knight.</p>
<p>It is made possible due to a National Lottery initiative to buy seats which must remain empty for social distancing.</p>

Still having to wait for musicals to open over here- tours and Broadway still haven’t reopened. Les Misérables is a pretty meaningful musical to me
