Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor “My job is to make sure that every production, wherever it is in the world, is to make it seem like nobody has ever seen it before,” theater producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh says talking about his shows like “Cats,” “Miss Saigon,” “Oliver,” “Mary Poppins” and “Les Miserables.” It’s the latter which is currently dazzling audiences at Hollywood’s Pantages through Sept. 10 and has undergone a makeover for its latest incarnation. Over 71 million people worldwide have seen the show.
Dazzling special effects, new projections and even an update to how Inspector Javert dies are among the changes in the current production. This production is co-directed by James Powell and Laurence Connor, both of whom are familiar with 19th century France that Mackintosh created from Victor Hugo’s classic novel. “Laurence and John started off with me in the original London production,” he says.
The key to assembling a creative team was understanding how great the original was and that each new generation of director brings something new to the production. “You don’t change it for change’s sake. You change it because you’ve got an idea that works better.” So how does Javert die? Mackintosh won’t reveal how Javert’s death is staged in the updated version, but he offers an insight into theater magic.

welcome Andrew, 63, with open arms.The Duke of York was recently profiled in a scathing A&E doc called the “Secrets of Prince Andrew” about his escapades with convicted now-dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.A source recently dished to the Mirror how the monarch, 74, has “overruled” William by forcing the family to not shut out Andrew any longer while vacationing at Balmoral Castle.The Duke of Cambridge was spotted driving his uncle to church in Scotland last weekend, an act that Charles requested, according to the insider.A separate eyewitness alleged that Andrew’s appearance alongside William and his wife Kate Middleton, “while knowing they would all be photographed, has been seen as a major boost in the York camp towards the Duke’s rehabilitation.”This “public declaration of support from William and Kate” is “more than [Andrew] could have wished for.”However, despite the Prince of Wales being seen out and about with Andrew at events such as Charles’ coronation this past May, he has “absolutely no desire to be seen with the Duke in public.” There is also one former member of the Windsor clan who has been brought as a “broker” to help escort Andrew back into the royal fold: his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.Ferguson, who is also affectionately known as Fergie, has been staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland alongside the family to help ease her ex back into the family’s good graces.An insider divulged to the Mirror that the Duchess of York, 63, “has been the life and soul of family gatherings” at the summer residence.She has even “been seen talking to the King and Prince William on several separate occasions.”This summer marks the British royals’ first return to Balmoral since the death of the Queen last September.
