She’s not Nancy but she is Eponine!

Les Miserables, currently at The Queen’s Theatre, has cast changes form June 23rd.

Nancy Sullivan, one of my favourites from the BBC’s “I’d Do Anything” (the search for the role of ‘Nancy’ in Cameron Mackintosh’s “Oliver!”), has landed the role of the adult Eponine in Les Mis! Nancy has a lovely voice and good acting skills. She should really shine in the role. Despite a fairly early departure from the BBC show I am sure that we will see Nancy Sullivan in West End productions for many years to come.

Leanne Dobinson is taking over the role of ‘Cosette’. She has been in the show before as the young ‘Eponine’ was a contestant in the BBC’s previous search for a leading lady “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria”

Les Miserables

The story is set in 19th century France during the revolutionary struggles and based on the novel by Victor Hugo. The musical was written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg. Lyrics are by Herbert Kretzmer and the music was composed by Claude-Michel Schonberg, with original text by Alain Boublil and additional material by James Fenton. It is adapted and directed by Trevor Nunn and John Caird.

Les Mis, as it is affectionately known, is a West End perennial currently in it’s 22nd year.
