Claude-Michel Schönberg

Claude-Michel Schönberg is a French composer and performer who, in collaboration with lyricist and librettist Alain Boublil, has produced several award-winning musicals that have made the duo notable figures in musical theatre.

Schönberg was born in Vannes, France, to musical Hungarian-Jewish parents. He began his career as a singer and record producer, but transitioned into composition after writing the music for France’s first rock opera La Révolution Française -- his first production with long time collaborator Alain Boublil. The two reunited five years later to bring to life Boublil’s vision of a mega-musical version of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. Les Mis premiered two years later in France and transferred to London in 1985. The London production was a smash hit, earning three Olivier nominations and continuing to run to this day as the West End’s longest running show. The Broadway production also found great success, winning eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. In the years following the original production, Broadway has seen several suc
