Musical theater has become a staple in many nations worldwide. One of the most successful, Les Misérables, celebrated its 25th anniversary in October 2010. To mark the occasion, the show's producer, Cameron Mackintosh, staged three performances with an all-star cast of 300 actors and musicians.

The anniversary marks the show's opening in London at the Barbican Theatre on October 8, 1985. To capture the occasion, the show was staged and recorded at The O2 arena in London. WITF viewers will be able to watch this performance on Sunday, March 6th at 7pm.
