Description Celebrate one of musical theatre’s finest pairings in an Australian premiere concert spectacular. Over a decade in the making, this unforgettable tribute to the creators of Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and more will span 50 years of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s iconic collaborations.

Through decades of collaboration, lyricist Alain Boublil and composer Claude-Michel Schönberg have graced world stages with timeless classics.

Do You Hear The People Sing? is a concert spectacular of epic proportions— and the Concert Hall is a venue worthy of these legendary tales revisited. Featuring a 24-piece live orchestra, epic vocalists and video projections giving insight into their creative process, experience the transcendent emotion and joy of Boublil and Schönberg’s best known works Les Misérables and Miss Saigon. You might even discover new favourites from La Révolution Française, Martin Guerre and The Pirate Queen.

A selection of musical theatre’s most celebrated soloists have been handpicked from across the globe, including Michael Ball, John Owen-Jones, Rachel Tucker, Bobby Fox, David Harris, Sooha Kim, Suzie Mathers, and Marie Zamora, to perform beloved classics such as "I Dreamed A Dream”, “Do You Hear The People Sing?”, “On My Own”, “One Day More”, “The American Dream”, “Bui Doi”, “Woman” and “Bring Him Home”.

Boublil and Schönberg will travel to Australia for the first time in 25 years to hold an additional “In Conversation’ event. For more insight into this extraordinary pairing, take the once in a lifetime opportunity to hear them speak to their work.

Join us for a grand celebration of these French musical masterminds, sure to be a “dreamed dream” come true for all Les Miserables fans.
