The World Tour then heads to Japan, Taiwan, China, and several other Asian countries before it returns to Europe and now, after its rapturous reception, is planning to extend across America and Canada.

Gish as Enjolras and Earl Carpenter as the Bishop of Digne. The casting for the role of Eponine will be announced soon.
