Broadway veterans Hugh Panaro and Norm Lewis made their Muny debuts starring as Jean Valjean and Javert, respectively, alongside Michael McCormick as Thénardier.
Joining these veterans was a group of five of the nation's finest up-and-coming university musical theatre students who were personally selected by Jay-Alexander from the more than 1,500 performers who auditioned. They were: Charlotte Maltby (University of Michigan) as Fantine, Alex Prakken (University of Michigan) as Marius, Bobby Conte Thornton (University of Michigan) as Enjolras, Katie Travis (Central Michigan University) as Cosette, and Lindsey Mader (University of Oklahoma) as Eponine. Rounding out the cast were Tiffany Green as Madame Thénardier, Lily McDonald as Young Eponine, Lilly Kanterman as Young Cosette, and Jimmy Coogan as Gavroche. They were joined by an ensemble of 11 women and 14 men.For more information, visit www.muny.org.
