Les Miserables Composers to Be Honored by the Recording Academy

The Recording Academy Honors, which annually present the Grammy Awards, have announced that Les Miserables composers Alain Boublil, Herbert Kretzmer and Claude-Michel Schonberg will be among the honorees at this year’s ceremony on June 25.

In addition to the Grammy-winning Les Miz composers, the Academy will honor legendary songwriting duo Ashford & Simpson, Grammy-winning violinist Joshua Bell, Grammy-winning singer Melissa Etheridge and R&B singer-songwriter Trey Songz.

Of course, this is far from the first time that bookwriter and lyricist Boublil, lyricist Kretzmer and composer/bookwriter Schonberg have been honored for their masterpiece musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel. The show, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010, is a surefire global phenomenon with hundreds of productions around the world, a blockbuster movie adaptation and a firm place in the lexicon of musical theater.
