Cameron Mackintosh Says 'Utterly Different' LES MISÉRABLES Coming to NYC
www.broadwayworld.com: Sir Cameron Mackintosh has teased that something big is headed to New York - though he's not the producer behind it. Speaking with NY1's Frank DiLella, in regards to a potential return of Les Misérables to New York the producer said: "There is a very exciting entirely different plan for New York to happen in two years time, not by me, but it's something that I wholeheartedly back. It's a wonderful idea and it would be utterly different. Something to look forward to."

It’s pretty incredible to think that a whole different Les Miz will be coming to New York in 2028. It is a sign of how the theaters are already looking at the heritage mega-musicals with a whole new perspective, to see Mackintosh turn up with another offbeat interpretation of the same show – and to see him endorse another producer to produce it. The popularity of promenade productions like Masquerade, lends further credibility to the idea of a more traditional presentation of Les Miserables. The fact is the score and the plot were nearly written for promenade. But bringing a big environmental version of the show to life will be a major task. Getting the audience to move in a complex arrangement of sets, making sure that the sound levels are just right without a traditional orchestra pit, and monitoring the sight lines during a sung-through show without losing the basic intimacy are just a few of the challenges that I am sure will occur when trying to put up a production like this!
