Les Miserables at The Kennedy Center

Since its pre-Broadway run at the Kennedy Center in 1986, Les Misérables has changed the world of musical theater. Now, Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Boublil & Schönberg’s Tony Award^®–winning phenomenon returns to the Opera House after its sold-out run in 2023.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Seen by over 130 million people worldwide in 53 countries, 438 cities, and 22 languages, Les Misérables is unquestionably one of the world’s most popular musicals.

Please note: this performance must start exactly on time. Any patrons arriving late will be held in the lobby until an appropriate break in the performance. Please plan to arrive with plenty of time.

A limited number of $49 Rush tickets will be available for every performance (excluding June 11) at the Kennedy Center Box Office 2 hours prior to each performance on the day of the performance (noon for Sunday matinees). Tickets are subject to availability and have no guaranteed location.

1 ticket max per person. Available to purchase in person only. Void if resold.
