Celebrate 40 years of Les Misérables with Thespis.
The 40th anniversary of Les Misérables marks a rare and historic moment in theatre, with a limited number of amateur companies granted the rights to stage the full adult production for the first time in decades.
At Thespis, we are proud to be at the centre of these landmark productions, having already supplied costumes for multiple large-scale anniversary performances across the UK.
This is one of our most in-demand and visually powerful shows, and availability is extremely limited during anniversary seasons.
Early booking is strongly recommended.

We were honoured to costume the full production of Les Misérables for the landmark 40th anniversary staging in Leeds — a major UK amateur theatre event and a real milestone for this extraordinary show.
This historic production marked the first time in 40 years that amateur groups were granted the rights to perform the full licensed version, creating an exceptional opportunity for companies to stage one of the world’s most iconic musicals on a truly ambitious scale.
Our costumes helped bring to life the world of revolutionary France — from the harsh realism of the streets to the dramatic impact of the barricades.

Les Misérables is an epic musical set against the social and political upheaval of 19th-century France.
At its heart is Jean Valjean, a former prisoner seeking redemption in a world shaped by poverty, injustice and revolution. As his life becomes intertwined with Fantine, Cosette, Marius, Javert and the revolutionary students, the story unfolds on an immense emotional and theatrical scale.
From the factories and docks to the barricades and beyond, Les Misérables is a show of immense visual sweep, human struggle and unforgettable stage imagery.
Our Les Misérables set delivers a fully immersive, historically grounded stage experience, covering principals and ensemble in full.
Each costume has been designed to reflect the social contrasts of early 19th-century France — from the poorest and most vulnerable characters to the richer, more powerful figures of the story.
Typical full package: 130–140 costumes, depending on cast size and doubling.
These are the moments that define the show visually, and our collection has been built to deliver them with scale, authenticity and stage impact.
Each full-show hire includes replica period muskets with bayonets and flintlock pistols, helping to create the visual impact this show demands. Additional pistols can also be supplied if required.
Our costumes are designed not only for authenticity, but also for practical performance use.
This allows your team to focus on rehearsals and performance rather than time-consuming costume logistics.
