Three performances of the epic musical Les Miserables will be presented in concert this summer at the Hollywood Bowl.
Les Misérables in Concert is scheduled to play the famed outdoor venue Aug. 8 and 9 at 8:30 PM and Aug. 10 at 7:30 PM, according to the Bowl's official website. Neither casting nor a creative team has been announced for the production, although the Bowl says, "An all-star cast and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra will bring you this sweeping story of love, passion and redemption."

Posted: 2/1/08 at 12:02amWonder if they mean starry as in Anne Hathaway as Eponine or starry as in Celia Keenan-Bogler as Eponine. Hope is the former.

Posted: 2/1/08 at 12:05amThe rumor was..."Broadway Stars" and not film stars. Count Lea Salonga out since she will be in Cinderella.

They had every working actor on Broadway for as long as it was open in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Do we really need another Broadway-stars-filled LES MIZ production?
The only way this could have turned out to be mildly interesting is if they had cast a combination of rising and established celebrities to do the show.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Hmmm.
Mandy Patinkin is in LA. Could he be a Valjean?
And Rachel York is in LA. She could reprise her role as Fantine.
They could borrow from Wicked for Cossette, Eponine, Marius and Enjolras.
Who else is out there?

Is Aaron Lazzar in LA these days?
I hope Kevin Earley play either Enjolras or Javert.

If they're casting actors based in Southern California, I'd bet money Eden Espinosa is in the cast. She's from that area.
Come to think of it, that's probably not such a bad idea...she'd be an amazing Eponine.

Posted: 2/2/08 at 1:03pmWasn't Eden cast as Fantine in the revival, but did Wicked in LA instead? I could have sworn I read that somewhere in an interview, but she really wanted to play Eponine instead. So maybe.
