Alain Boublil is the French-Tunisian lyricist and librettist behind some of musical theater’s most iconic shows. Best known as the co-creator (with composer Claude-Michel Schönberg) of *Les Misérables* and *Miss Saigon*, Boublil has spent decades crafting emotionally charged stories that dominate stages worldwide. His knack for adapting sweeping historical dramas into singable epics—like *Martin Guerre* or *Marguerite*—has made him a legend in the genre. Though born in Tunisia and raised in Paris, his work transcends borders: *Les Misérables* alone has been translated into 22 languages, proving that heartbreak and revolution are universal languages.
When he’s not penning tear-jerking ballads (“Bring Him Home,” anyone?), Boublil collaborates on live concert recordings, like the 2020 *Les Misérables: The Staged Concert*, keeping his classics fresh for new generations. With multiple Tony Awards and a career spanning over 50 years, he’s basically the Shakespeare of sung-through spectacles—minus the ruffles, but with all the drama.
