The concert tour will feature Andy Reiss, David Fawcett, Katie Leeming and Sarah Ryan who have all played principal roles in both the West End and UK Tours of Les Misérables, together with a live band who capture the feel of the original orchestrations of the chosen musicals.

Every musical note is played and sung live just as they were when Beyond the Barricade started out 25 years ago. Beyond the Barricade gives musical songs a bold concert format treatment – but with the conviction and intention to deliver the material as if the audience is watching the original performance.

Tickets cost £30.50, available from www.buxtonoperahouse.org.uk or call 01298 72190.
