Robert Marien

Robert Marien, born on May fifth, nineteen fifty-five, is a distinguished Canadian (Québécois) actor, singer, and songwriter. He has made significant contributions to the world of musical theatre, particularly through his acclaimed performances in productions such as Les Misérables and Notre Dame de Paris. His versatility is evident as he has portrayed the iconic role of Jean Valjean in both English and French across major cities including Montreal, Paris, New York City, and London.

Marien's career is marked by his participation in the international lineup of Valjeans during the tenth anniversary concert of Les Misérables, where he represented France. He was part of the original cast in Montreal and the Paris revival in nineteen ninety, later reprising his role on Broadway and in the West End. His album, Broadway-Montréal, showcases his talent and dedication to the Francophone Broadway scene.

In two thousand five, Marien joined the cast of Notre Dame de Paris for a tour in Korea and Japan, taking on the role of Claude Frollo. This production saw a revival in late two thousand fourteen, running until February two thousand fifteen, and returned to Korea in October two thousand fifteen, this time performed in French, continuing until early two thousand sixteen. His recent performances include portraying Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar in Tokyo in two thousand nineteen and two thousand twenty-one.
