FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
An epic musical in an intimate space
Beef & Boards’ premiere production features 4 Broadway performers
INDIANAPOLIS – Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre presents the powerful nine-time Tony
Award winning musical sensation Les Misérables for the first time ever in a dramatic conclusion
to its 40th Anniversary Season. The epic production, featuring four Broadway performers in the
cast, is now on stage in Beef & Boards’ intimate atmosphere through Nov. 24.
Set in France and based on the novel by Victor Hugo, the compelling story centers on Jean
Valjean, who is released from the harsh 19-year prison sentence he received for stealing a loaf of
bread. Although freed, he remains an outcast until he breaks his parole and assumes a different
identity. Embarking on a new life, Valjean becomes a respectable citizen and is even elected
mayor before he agrees to raise the child of a dying woman who had worked in his factory.
Javert, an officer obsessed with justice who has pursued Valjean since he broke parole, discovers
the truth about his changed identity and attempts to capture the former convict. Valjean flees
with young Cosette and becomes a father to her, but even he can’t protect her heart from being
stolen by a young and passionate revolutionary as the French civil unrest builds.
Making his Beef & Boards debut in the iconic role of Jean Valjean is Gregg Goodbrod, a
member of the original Broadway cast of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Also making their Beef &
Boards debuts are Joe Tokarz in the role of the relentless Inspector Javert, Whitney Meyer as
Cosette and Stephanie Torns, who played Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway, as Eponine.
Returning to the Beef & Boards stage are Sarah Hund as Fantine, Dominic Sheahan-Stahl as
Marius Pontmercy, Annie Edgerton (who performs the role of Rosie in Mama Mia on Broadway)
as Madame Thénardier and Douglas E. Stark as Monsieur Thénardier. Scott Beck of Lafayette,
who was in the Broadway companies of Grease, Smokey Joe’s Café, and Saturday Night Fever,
plays the role of the factory foreman.
There are 59 performances of Les Misérables scheduled in the intimate setting of Beef &
Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $37.50 to $62.50 and include Chef Odell Ward’s
dinner buffet, fruit & salad bar, and select beverages. Discounts are available for children and
groups of 20 or more. Parking is free.
For reservations call the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Box Office at 317.872.9664. Hours
are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays.
