As from tonight, the part of Jean Valjean will be played by Les Miz veteran Drew Sarich at the Broadhurst Theatre, where it opened November 9, 2006.
Sarich has appeared in the new production of Les Miserables since it opened last year, as a member of the ensemble and alternating in the role of Javert; he will succeed Alexander Gemignani who created the role for the new revival.
The original Claude-Michel Schonberg-Alain Boubil musical, adapted from the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo, is the third longest-running musical in Broadway history.
