London: 'Les Miserables' producer Cameron Mackintosh has offered teen pop star Justin Bieber a role in the musical when it comes to Canada.
The musical is heading to Toronto and Mackintosh said he wants the 'Baby' singer who was born in Canada to appear in his new all-Canadian production, reported Contactmusic.
"You're going to have a completely new, all-Canadian production opening at the Royal Alex in July, 2012 . I would love to hear Justin Bieber sing 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables'. Please spread the word that he'd be more than welcome in the show," Mackintosh said.
The 64-year-old has reworked the musical - which is based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo and the musical by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil, which follows the lives of several characters during the French revolution.
The revamped production - which first opened at the Barbican Centre in London in 1985 - features new staging and a totally new set design, inspired by Hugo's paintings.
"I was inspired to do a new version when I realised that the show was going to be 25 years old. You always have a different point of view on something after 25 years and just for my own sanity's sake, I had to see it fresh again," Mackintosh added.
