Les Miserables coming to Sydney - March 2015

Les Miserables fans who dreamed a dream about the hit musical coming to Sydney can now rejoice.

Mere hours after it opened to critical acclaim in Melbourne, theatre producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh has announced the new production of Boublil & Schonberg's legendary musical will open in Sydney in March, 2015.

Mackintosh says he's very excited.

"Sydney holds a very special place in the history of Les Mis, opening to our very first Australian audiences in 1987 and we are delighted to be bringing this new production to Sydney next year," he says.

NSW Tourism and Major Events Minister Andrew Stoner says it's estimated more than 91,000 visitors will come to Sydney to see the production.

"After almost 30 years, a feature film and many famous productions, Les Miserables remains incredibly popular with audiences," he says.

The last time Les Miserables was in Australia was the 10th anniversary tour, which opened in Sydney in 1997 and wrapped in Brisbane two years later.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - The Beatles are back in Australia!

50 years after their first visit to Australia, Sydney welcomes George, John, Paul and Ringo again. Celebrating their arrival, The Beatles ‘walked’ in line across a pedestrian crossing in front of Sydney’s Opera House to re-enact the iconic Abbey Road album cover. 

Back on tour, just like they were in 1964, the fab four have just landed from Tokyo and will be part of an interactive exhibit at Madame Tussauds in Darling Harbour. The visit will be for a limited time only however, as the group will jet off to San Francisco for the last leg of their tour in September. 

The exhibit features the band in their late 1960s-era styling and allows fans to stand in line with the band to create their very own personalised album cover.

Just like their whirlwind tour five decades ago, these four iconic wax figures will only be on show at Madame Tussauds Sydney for a limited time. Not only can guests interact with the famous four, but can also recreate a moment of Beatles history in their very own Abbey Road album cover.
An Iconic Band

Madame Tussauds first held sittings with The Beatles in 1964, and were the first ever rock band to be featured at Madame Tussauds. For the new touring figures, the Madame Tussauds studio team have used a combination of the sitting measurements and additional image research including a number of image references from the 1969 Abbey Road photo shoot. The style of the figures is based on their styling around the time, not long before the band's dissolution in 1970
