BroadwayWorld is proud to bring you an exclusive conversation between two legends - London's Frances Ruffelle (now a New Yorker) and Broadway's Richard Jay-Alexander. Both of these longtime pros share a very special experience, being part of the legendary history of LES MISERABLES. The two friends got together on the stage of THE GREEN ROOM 42 in the heart of midtown Manhattan, where Jay-Alexander had just seen her show, FRANCES RUFFELLE LIVEs IN NEW YORK. There were no rules and nothing 'off-limits' as neither of them prepared or pre-discussed what they would talk about, prior to walking into the venue on a recent hot New York afternoon. It's very informative and just as entertaining. Ruffelle's final show of the season is Saturday, June 23rd at 7:00 P.M.
