BEYOND the Barricade, the UK's leading musical theatre concert, returns to Bournemouth this week.

The show, featuring the best of West End and Broadway shows and starring past principal performers from the legendary hit musical, Les Misérables, is at the Pavilion Theatre on Saturday, May 26.

Appearing on stage with their new show for 2007 will be David Fawcett, Andy Reiss, Claire Marlowe and Katie Leeming, who have taken major roles in Les Misérables, both in London's West End and on tour.

Fawcett and Reiss devised Beyond the Barricade after appearing in the Manchester and London casts of Les Misérables, with David playing Jean Valjean and Andy playing Enjolras. The show has been touring for eight successful years throughout the UK and abroad, delighting audiences with its exciting concert portrayal of the greatest songs in theatre, all performed totally live.

Featuring songs from Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Mamma Mia, We Will Rock You, Miss Saigon, Blood Brothers, and a host of others, the show climaxes with a selection from, of course, Les Misérables.

You can see the show on Saturday at 8pm. Tickets cost £18, £17 and £15 from the box office on 0870 111 3000.
