Tony Award nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger has replaced Lea Michele as Eponine in the cast of Cameron Mackintosh's upcoming Broadway revival of Les Misérables, which will begin a six-month run at the Broadhurst Theatre on October 24 and will open officially on November 9.
Keenan-Bolger, who is currently starring as Olive Ostrovsky inThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, will leave that show on September 17. She will be replaced on September 19 by Jessica Snow-Wilson, whose Broadway credits include Good Vibrations and Little Shop of Horrors and who was recently announced to star Off-Broadway in WASPs in Bed, also in September.
Michele bowed out of Les Miz earlier this summer so that she can recreate her role of Wendla in the Broadway transfer of the recent Off-Broadway musical hit Spring Awakening, set to begin previews on November 17 and to open on December 10.
Les Miz will be directed by Trevor Nunn and John Caird, as was the original Broadway production. Keenan-Bolger joins the previously announced stars Gary Beach, Ali Ewoldt, Jenny Galloway, Alexander Gemignani, Adam Jacobs, Aaron Lazar, Norm Lewis, and Daphne Rubin-Vega.
