Les Miserables’ Craig Mather (900 x 600)

Les Miserables' Craig Mather

Day in the life: Les Mis’ Craig Mather

First Published 24 March 2016, Last Updated 24 April 2020

To paraphrase a Les Misérables classic, “10 days more…” That’s how far, at the time I set this feature live, we are from the Olivier Awards 2016 with MasterCard.

As we edge closer to the biggest theatrical evening of the year – 3 April at the Royal Opera House – the stars of the Magic Radio Audience Award shortlisted shows have been giving us a cheeky insight into what it’s like to star in a West End show.

Today, Les Mis’ Marius, Craig Mather, shows us that fighting battles on barricades, falling in love and breaking hearts requires a hearty breakfast, a handful of throat sweets and enough hats to make Boy George jealous:
