Les Miserables understudies set to take center stage as cast boycotts Trump-Vance attendance at Kennedy Center
Les Misérables actors drop out because Trump is attending show
- President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, along with their wives, will attend a performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center, marking Trump's first visit to the venue during his second term.
- Trump's decision to assume control of the Kennedy Center, replacing previous leadership and vowing to eliminate 'woke' programming, has sparked controversy.
- In response to Trump's involvement, some cast members of Les Misérables are expected to boycott the performance.
- Following Trump's takeover, several high-profile performers and members resigned, and the center has experienced a significant drop in ticket sales, leading to canceled performances.
- Trump has expressed his fondness for Les Misérables, even suggesting the possibility of extending its run at the Kennedy Center, which is currently scheduled through July 13.
