Sorry Hugh Jackman. Not your star-studded, highly-anticipated movie version of the Claude-Michel Schonberg musical.
No, Justin Bieber’s been offed a role in the stage version of Les Miserables in his homeland of Canada.
The musical is heading to Toronto in a few weeks and producer Cameron Mackintosh reveals he is simply dying to have the Biebs come on as Marius for the all new “all-Canadian” production.
“You’re going to have a completely new, all-Canadian production opening at the Royal Alex in July, 2012 . I would love to hear Justin Bieber sing ‘Empty Chairs at Empty Tables’. Please spread the word that he’d be more than welcome in the show.”
Well, there sure as hell wouldn’t be any empty chairs or empty tables if he did take the gig! The Bieblievers would be there in droves! Don’t think Broadway is really his jam though.
Still, we’d book our ticket to Toronto today if he said yes, but only to see if he is better or worse than Nick Jonas! LOLz!
