PBOL article: Bring on the barricades! Heck, bring on three of them. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the musical Les Misérables, three different productions of the international smash will appear in London in October. One of them is a star-filled concert with pop idols and Broadway favorites.
On Oct. 3 — while the original production continues at the Queen's Theatre in the West End, and the newly directed and reconceived 25th anniversary production plays at the Barbican in London — a concert featuring many alumni of worldwide productions will play a 7 PM performance at The O2 in London.
The two London casts will participate in the concert, joining Alfie Boe (Broadway's La Boheme) as Jean Valjean, pop singer Nick Jonas (a former Gavroche in the original Broadway run) as Marius, Norm Lewis (The Little Mermaid, Sondheim on Sondheim) as Javert, Matt Lucas (TV's "Little Britain") as Thénardier, Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon) as Fantine, Jenny Galloway (Mary Poppins on Broadway and in London) as Madame Thénardier, classical artist Camilla Kerslake as Cosette. Members of the original 1985 London production will be on hand.
The 25th anniversary concert at The O2 will feature a company of over 300 actors and musicians.
