Simon Gleason is also continuing is his role as Jean Valjean in The Philippines and then Singapore.

Most of the cast have remained with the production for its entire run. Trevor Ashley stepped down from playing Thénardier on Christmas eve and was replaced by Rodney Dobson.

The cast ended their long run with a fun video posted to the Producer’s Facebook page.
