Experience Les Misrables at Au-Rene Theater

We invite you to witness the global phenomenon of Les Misrables as it returns to Fort Lauderdale. This Cameron Mackintosh production, widely hailed as the world's most popular musical, will grace the stage at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts from December 16 to December 28, 2025. Based on Victor Hugo?s classic novel, this masterpiece showcases a gripping narrative of broken dreams, unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption. We recognize this production as a definitive theatrical experience, featuring the classic score with beloved songs including "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Bring Him Home," "One Day More," and "Master of the House."

The Au-Rene Theater offers a premier environment for this grand production. We assure you that the venue's acoustics and sightlines are designed to enhance the sweeping orchestral score and intricate set designs. Whether you prefer the immersive proximity of the Orchestra or the panoramic perspective from the Mezzanine and Balcony, we offer access to a wide variety of seating inventories. Please note that ticket prices fluctuate significantly based on market demand, seat location, and proximity to the performance date; we advise securing reservations early to lock in current rates.

As this is a full-scale Broadway musical, there is no opening act. The performance begins promptly at the scheduled time and runs approximately 2 hours and 55 minutes, including one intermission. The cast for this North American tour features elite talent selected to embody the iconic roles of Jean Valjean, Javert, Fantine, and Cosette. We guarantee that the production value, from the projection-based set design inspired by Hugo's paintings to the period-accurate costumes, maintains the high standards established by the original London and Broadway stagings.

Pro Tips for Visiting Au-Rene Theater
We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes prior to curtain to navigate security and locate your seats comfortably. For parking, the Arts & Science District Garage is the most convenient option, usually connected by a skywalk, though rates vary. We also suggest utilizing the restrooms before the show or immediately when intermission begins, as lines can be long. This production is visually dark and atmospheric; allow your eyes to adjust and refrain from using mobile devices during the performance to maintain the immersive experience.

Secure your seats immediately to ensure you do not miss this limited engagement.
