From Daughter to Mom-Judy Kuhn Returns to Les Miz!

Judy Kuhn is well known for playing Broadway’s original Cosette in the acclaimed production of Les Miserables.  Now she returns, although this time she plays mother instead of daughter.  It’s been twenty years since her portrayal of the much loved and sought after Cosette and now she takes the stage in place of Tony Award winner Lea Salonga, whose final performance will be October 21.  Kuhn was quoted as saying: “I am thrilled to be returning to Les Miserables after all these years.  To go back to play the mother of the character I played originally, especially now that I am a mother myself will be great fun.”

Judy Kuhn has been nominated three times for her work on Broadway.  She has appeared in “Chess,” “She loves Me,” and “Rags,” and has since developed a dedicated following of fans.  Perhaps most recently she was seen in a new adaptation of Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” and she co-starred in the world premiere of “The Highest Yellow,” at the Signature Theatre in Virginia.  Kuhn is obviously no stranger to the world of Broadway and her return to Les Miz is a much anticipated one.  Be sure to catch Judy Kuhn in an upcoming performance in New York, get your Les Miserables tickets as soon as possible!
