Les Misérables is one of those musicals from the modern age of Broadway that has taken on a life of its own, standing the test of time and continuing on when so many other shows fade away. With its English premiere in 1985, debuting in the West End before its introduction to New York in 1987, Les Mis is almost 40 years old and yet is still touring across North America, as well as numerous productions across the globe.
There’s something to be said about a show that carries on for four decades and still fills theaters night after night. Les Misérables is a powerful show that explores personal narratives in the background of Paris during its revolution. Broadway in Detroit is excited to bring this classic show to our city, and before its arrival, we were able to speak with one of its stars, Matt Crowle.
Crowle plays Thénardier in the North American touring production of Les Misérables, who serves as a bit of comedic relief within the serious and tragic tones of the musical. In this exclusive interview, Matt Crowle talks about how his past in comedy helped influence some of his character choices, what it’s like to be touring for two years in the same show, how his character of Thénardier has changed over time, and what he hopes audiences walk away from this show with. He also discusses how he prioritizes his mental health while on the road and what attractions he looks for in each city he visits.
