Thirty years ago, LES MISERABLES first arrived on the London stage, featuring Frances Ruffelle in the role of Eponine. To mark the occasion, the singer and actress has released a YouTube video of a unique version of the iconic song "On my Own" from the show.

The track will be featured on her French themed album entitled "I Say Yeh-Yeh." Check out the video! You can purchase "I Say Yeh-Yeh" here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/i-s...

Says the actress of the recording, "On October 8th 2015 it has been 30 years of Les Miserables. On My Own was written for the character of Eponine which I had the good fortune to originate. The song was worked on and rewritten many times especially for my voice. Gwyneth Herbert, my record producer, said I really ought to include it on my French themed album "I Say Yeh-YehI, i was not so sure, I felt that On My Own was a wonderful part of my life such a long time ago and that it was better to leave it behind..but she persuaded me to record it again and she came up with such a fun arrangement. I am so happy that I listened to her and feel this new version is a lovely fun way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Les Miserables Thank you to Claude Michel Schoenberg for your beautiful music and Alain Boublil, Herbert Kretzmer, Trevor Nunn, John Caird and Jean Marc Natel for your beautiful words and of course to Cameron Mackintosh (Mr Producer). Les Mis has been and always will be in my heart. Merci. Frankie xxx "
