The upcoming production of the iconic musical Les Misérables by the Globe Theater will not be done alone. For the first time in their respective histories, the Globe Theatre and the Regina Symphony Orchestra (RSO) will be partnering. The sweeping score of Les Misérables will be delivered by the RSO while the production of one of the world’s most popular productions is displayed on the Globe’s Rawlinson Main Stage. The musical will be the centerpiece of the Globe’s 61st season and the task of embracing the audience with its famous score is tricky according to Globe Theater’s Artistic Director, Jennifer Brewin. “It’s not a score for the faint of heart. To show it off in its full muscular beauty, we needed epically talented musicians to bring this major work to life,” Brewin explained. That challenge is one RSO Executive Director Samuel Deason is happy to take on. “It’s excitement to make something new and fresh and incredible and joining forces with these two organizations it allows us to do so much more together than we could as individual institutions,” Deason said. Rehearsals will be held separately until the days leading up to opening night. The Globe Theatre does not have an orchestra pit in its Rawlinson Main Stage, so the theatre is working on some creative ways to have the orchestra visible for the audience. The show will run from Feb. 10 until March 21, 2027.
