Sandra Turley

As a young teenager, Sandra Turley saw the musical 'Les Miserables' and knew that someday she wanted to perform in that production. Her substantial acting and vocal chops eventually landed her the role of Cosette on Broadway and she was also able to play Cosette with the venerable Colm Wilkinson in Shanghai, China. Wilkinson originated the leading role of Jean Valjean in the London and Broadway productions of the famous Victor Hugo story.

In honor of Les Miserables' opening tonight, BroadwayWord brings you the actors who've taken on the many complex and vocally challenging roles of Victor Hugo's world, from the unscrupulous Thenardiers to innocent Cosette, or principled Javert against the compassionate and strong-willed Jean Valjean. From Fantine and Eponine, unfortunate in life and romance, to Enjolras and Marius, the fiery young leaders of the French Revolution.

Les Miserables Broadway star Sandra Turley released her debut album featuring a collection of popular musical hits. She teamed up with Shadow Mountain Records to produce the self-titled album Sandra Turley: On Broadway.
