Interview: Laurence Connor on Rebuilding His 25th Anniversary Les Miz, a Decade Later

TheaterMania: More than a decade ago, Laurence Connor embarked on a trip to the Paris of Victor Hugo when he was hired, alongside James Powell, to redirect Les Misérables for producer Cameron Mackintosh. Connor and Powell were set to create a 25th anniversary touring edition of the beloved Boublil and Schönberg musical, a production that has since taken on a life of its own. Not only did their staging tour the world, it played on Broadway and has ultimately replaced the original production in London's West End.
