Les Miz is Loaded With the Stars

This summer the stars will take to the stage of the Hollywood Bowl for special production of Les Miserables in concert.  Some of the names that you might recognize include: Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell and Emmy Award winner Rosie O’Donnell.  The well-known show will be directed by Richard Jay-Alexander, who has also staged concerts for Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand and Betty Buckley.  The cast will include performers from both Broadway and from the West End in London.  Other cast members that have been announced include: Melora Hardin, who plays Jan Levison on television’s “The Office,” Spring Awakening’s Lea Michele and Aaron Lazar who played in the Les Miz revival.  The star-studded concert is expected to draw in crowds of fans who will not only want to get a sneak peak at some of television’s and theater’s greatest actors but also a rendition of one of theater’s most beloved and longest running performances.

Some of the tunes that people are looking forward to hearing are: “Bring Him Home,” “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” and “Master of the House.”  Les Miz was first presented at the Barbican Theatre in October 1985-and has been playing at a couple of different locations since then.  If you want to catch one of the most well-known musicals of all time, you might just want to see the much heralded rendition set for the Hollywood Bowl.  Don’t miss out on the show, be sure to purchase your pair of Les Miserables tickets as soon as possible.
