While the deep-set religious themes of international hit mega-musical LES MISERABLES are outwardly prevalent, Jean Valjean had never actually met Jesus Christ until this weekend - in the form of just-announced JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR US arena tour Jesus, Ben Forster, meeting LES MIZ lead Ramin Karimloo, that is!
Forster stopped backstage to visit fellow West End alum Ramin Karimloo, who currently essays the leading role of Jean Valjean in the new Broadway revival of LES MISERABLES, and the two posed for a picture onstage of the Imperial Theatre that is now available to view.
Forster shared the shot via Twitter, commenting, "And @raminkarimloo we all know is a different class.. But tonight he was the best I've seen! Congrats my friend!"

Karimloo posted the pic, as well, writing, "Tonight, Jesus came to the Imperial theatre. @thebenforster .... Again, great to see you man. Have a great tour."
