Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular shatters records at Sydney's ICC Theatre
Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular has arrived in Sydney and has already broken house records.
The 15 performances to be presented at the ICC Theatre have broken the venue record for the most performances and highest ticket sales for any presentation at the venue.
The ICC Theatre has presented Live Nation Australasia Chairman, Michael Coppel, with a special award to commemorate the show's record-breaking feats.
Michael Coppel commented: “Live Nation Australia is proud that the inaugural Australian season of 'Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular' has been a resounding success at the ICC Theatre in Sydney.”
The show's 40th Anniversary Arena Spectacular will perform at the Sydney venue 15 times. The previous record was held by Guy Sebastian in 2022 for a five-concert run.
From Sydney, Les Misérables - The Arena Spectacular will travel to Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena and Brisbane's Entertainment Centre.
