Teen bopper Nick Jonas has extended his run in Les Misérables by two weeks until 24 July 2010. The Jonas Brothers star, who is playing Marius in the world’s longest running musical, has seen hoards of fans flocking to the Queens Theatre since his first performance back in June. The extension to his run was made possible by the re-scheduling of the Jonas Brothers world tour. The show has become a practical sell out since it was announced Jonas would be starring in the show. X-Factor’s Lucie Jones will play the role of Cosette from 12 July 2010. 

In other Les Mis related news, the O2 concert planned for 3 October 2010 has recently added a matinee performance due to public demand. The special 25th anniversary concert will also see Ramin Karimloo (Current Phantom in Love Never Dies) and Samantha Barks (I’d Do Anything) join the cast, along with the already announced Alfie Boe, Matt Lucas, Norm Lewis, Lea Salonga, Jenny Galloway, Camilla Kerslake and Nick Jonas.

The concert will feature a company of over 300 actors and musicians, as well as members of the original 1985 London cast and actors from both the current production at the Queen’s theatre and the anniversary production at the Barbican.
