Les Misérables and Oklahoma! Are Coming to Leavenworth in 2027

Leavenworth Summer Theater has announced that two giants will dazzle under the stars for its 33rd season. Les Misérables will debut at the Ski Hill Amphitheater, and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! will run alongside it. The two musicals alternate from July 9 through August 28, 2027, for 30 performances in all.

“Les Misérables is an epic story of courage and second chances,” said Executive Director Christy Shearer. The show brings “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” and “One Day More” to a hillside stage, and it plays 18 times. Oklahoma! plays 12, with “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” and “People Will Say We’re in Love.” Shearer calls it the perfect night out for the whole family.

One note for loyal fans. The Sound of Music won’t return in 2027. The national tour is playing Seattle that summer, so the rights aren’t available. LST hopes to bring its production back in 2028.
