Young local actress gets call in ‘Les Miserables’ Brielle Mussomeli of Point Loma has earned a principal role in California Youth Conservatory’s upcoming production of “Les Miserables School Edition.” Mussomeli, a vocal dynamite, has been cast as Eponine, the love-torn French revolutionary who dies on the barricade after helping Cosette and Jean Val Jean escape from the inspector. Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, “Les Miserables” is an epic saga that sweeps through three turbulent decades of 19th century France. Full of romance, passion, suspense and humanity, it is also the story of one man, the fugitive Jean Valjean, who is pitted against the pitiless and self-righteous Inspector Javert in a lifelong struggle to evade capture. Propelled by a Tony Award-winning score from Claude-Michel Schonberg and librettist Herbert Kretzmer, the timeless masterpiece is directed by local professional actor/director Shaun T. Evans, with scenic design by George Gonzalez. The performance opens on July 13 and runs for 16 shows through July 29 at the Welk Resort Theatre, 8860 Lawrence Welk Drive, located in Escondido.
