Voices of Valjean

Voices of Valjean comes to Lincoln Cathedral on Friday 13 November, part of a tour across the UK and Ireland. The whole thing is built around one role: Jean Valjean from Les Misérables. Three West End stars who have each played the part take the stage together, backed by a full live band.

John Owen-Jones fronts the night. He's best known for his award-winning turns as Valjean and as the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera — he remains the youngest actor in West End history to have played Valjean, and with nearly 2,000 performances as the Phantom, he holds the record for the most appearances in that role in the West End, having played it twice on Broadway as well. Alongside him are Joseph Anthony, also known for playing Valjean, and Brad Barnley, who made his West End debut in the role.

The set draws on the great musicals of the era, pairing Les Misérables favourites with numbers from Miss Saigon, Chess, The Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar. It's a concert rather than a staged production, so the focus is on the singing rather than the plot.

It starts at 7:30pm. Tickets are tiered: VIP £50, Premium £45, Band A £40, Band B £35, Band C £30, Restricted View £25, and Access £35, with a £4.50 booking fee on each.
