Beyond The Barricade

Celebrating 25 years as the UK’s favourite musical theatre concert tour.

Beyond the Barricade, the UK’s longest running musical theatre concert tour features past principal performers from Les Miserables and delivers over two hours of the best of Broadway and the West End, ending of course with a stunning finale from Les Mis. This brand new show will include many of the best numbers that have made Beyond the Barricade the most popular musical theatre concert in the country.

The concert features David Fawcett (Valjean) Andy Reiss (Enjolras & Resident Director for the National Tour of Les Miserables) Katie Leeming (Eponine) and Poppy Tierney (Cosette), together with a live band who capture the feel of the original orchestrations of the chosen musicals.

To this day every musical note is still played and sung live – very rare indeed. Beyond the Barricade gives musical theatre songs a bold concert format treatment – but with the conviction and intention to deliver the material as if the audience are watching the original performance.

The original concert idea was conceived and developed by Andy Reiss and David Fawcett, who first met when performing in the Manchester production of Les Misérables. They both moved to the West End production of the show where a request came for a series of concerts to be staged as part of a MENCAP charity fundraising drive.
