I've seen this article on several websites along with the variations of the comment, "Let's just hope Hooper has a fresh new take on Les Miserables?". My big fear is that God will be gutted from a musical that is, at it's core, about Redemption.

We’ve watched the 25th anniversary dvd about 5 times. Lea
Salonga as Fantine is marvelous.We’re going to see her in
concert in June. Alfie Boe as Jean Valjean has to be
heard to be believed how amazing he is. Also, Matt Lucas
as Thenardier is excellent.Both of them will be on stage
this June thru Nov. in London. We’re thinking of going to
London to see them preform.

Why would it need a fresh new take? The music is amazing and the story timeless. The only change I'd like to see is to fill in a few of the "story" gaps toward the end that can make it a bit confusing for those who haven't read the novel.

I’m really concerned that they’ll cast stars instead of voices. Time will tell, if Cameron Mackintosh maintains a lot of creative control then I’ll worry a lot less.
