Judy Kuhn will take over the role of Fantine in the Broadway revival of Les Misérables on Tuesday, October 23. Kuhn, who played Cosette in the show's original Broadway production, will replace Lea Salonga.

Kuhn will release her new CD, Serious Playground: The Songs of Laura Nyro, on October 2, and she will perform selections from the CD at Joe's Pub on October 1, 8, 15, and 22, and at Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center on October 26.
