Cameron Mackintosh Lays Plans to Add Toilets to Queen's Theatre, Home of LES MIS

According to The Stage, Cameron Mackintosh has been given approval to up the number of toilets in the Queen's Theatre from 24 to 33, thereby alleviating a certain amount of congestion during performances of Les Miserables. At the moment, a spokesperson confirms that patrons are lined up through up to ten minutes of the second act.

The Theatres Trust, an entity which Mackintosh has tumbled with in the past, says they welcome the change and that they 'welcome efforts by theatre owners and operators to improve their buildings and facilities.'

Cameron Mackintosh's legendary production of Boublil and Schonberg's Les Miserables is a global stage sensation.

Seen by more than 70 million people in 43 countries and in 22 languages around the globe, it is still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 30th year.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption-a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.

Ex-convict Jean Valjean is hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

Featuring the songs "I Dreamed A Dream", "Bring Him Home", "One Day More" and "On My Own"- Les Miserables is the show of shows.
