If you dreamed a dream of seeing Les Misérables live onstage in Toronto again, that dream will come true soon.

According to reliable sources, the 2013-2014 Mirvish subscription season will open this September with a production of the beloved musical currently earning major attention on the movie screens of the world.

The roster of players isn’t complete, but some impressive names are already on board and this version will feature revisions that producer Cameron Mackintosh and his creative team made for the show’s 25th anniversary tour.

Ramin Karimloo from Richmond Hill will appear in the lead role of Jean Valjean, which he previously performed at The Queen’s Theatre in London, England.

The 34-year-old has starred on the London stage in a variety of mega-musicals (including The Phantomof the Opera and Love Never Dies) but has never done a show on his home turf.

Karimloo was scheduled to make his Toronto debut as Bobby in the Theatre 20 production of Company this month, but once that show was postponed his involvement became impossible.

Melissa O’Neil, the Season 3 Canadian Idol champion, star of Ross Petty pantos and a Broadway veteran from Stratford’s Jesus Christ Superstar, will tackle the role of Eponine.

And Mark Uhre, who has made a strong impression at the Shaw Festival with his musical performances, will lead the student revolutionaries as Enjolras.

Quebec artist Genevieve Leclerc, who is playing the role of Fantine in the U.S. tour, is expected to continue in the role when the show reaches Toronto.

Cliff Saunders, whose resumé includes Beauty and theBeast and The Lord of the Rings in Toronto, as well as a critically acclaimed role in The 39 Steps on Broadway, will play Monsieur Thénardier.

And Lisa Horner will have to choose the greater of two evils: playing his wife, the venal Mme. Thénardier, or continuing as the Wicked Witch of the West in TheWizard of Oz, where she’s earning positive reviews.

Various other roles such as Javert, Marius and Cosette remain uncast. There is a possibility they will be filled from the current U.S production.

Les Miz was supposed to have arrived here in the summer of 2012, but casting problems stymied its return.

“I am delighted that we are finally bringing Les Misérables back to Toronto,” Mackintosh told the Star recently.
