New performers for Les Miserables

New performers for Les MiserablesPeople going to see the famous Les Miserables from June 23rd onwards will be entertained by two new cast members.

The part of the grown-up Eponine will be played by Nancy Sullivan, who some people may recognise following her recent appearance in the BBC talent show I'd Do Anything.

Another contender in a recent TV show, Leanne Dobinson, who featured in How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria, will join the cast of Les Miserables in the role of Cosette.

Television competitions have brought a number of new performers onto theatre stages recently, a trend that Cameron Mackintosh, producer of the forthcoming show Oliver!, described as "very exciting".

He added: "Thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber and the success of BBC television programmes such as How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria and Any Dream Will Do, new audiences are coming to the theatre.

"These programmes have also helped unearth some tremendous talent, many of whom have gone on to star in many other West End productions."

Les Miserables is the world's longest running musicals and will this year celebrate its 23rd birthday in London.
