Some ‘Les Misérables’ Cast Members To Boycott Trump’s Attendance At Kennedy Center – Report
Some cast members of the Kennedy Center performance of Les Misérables plan to skip the show on June 11 when President Donald Trump is in attendance.
Trump angered many in the performing arts communities when, shortly after taking office, he ousted half of the Kennedy Center’s board members – many nominated by Joe Biden – and installed himself as chairman. In March, producers of Hamilton, including the musical’s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, canceled a planned 2026 engagement at the Kennedy Center, decrying the “recent purge by the Trump Administration” of the venue’s professional staff and center-produced events. Trump has promised to make the Kennedy Center “GREAT AGAIN,” announcing his plan in February to remove those “who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture.”
