Dudu Fisher is an Israeli cantor, stage performer and actor who is famous all over the world for his performance in the hit Broadway production, Les Miserables, as Jean Valjean. His career, however, began many years before his Broadway role, in Israel, where he is famous in the world of cantor and where many have seen him perform live with Dudu Fisher tickets. He served three years in the Israel Defense Forces and then went on to study music at the highly prestigious Tel Aviv Academy of Music.

At the age of twenty two, Dudu Fisher was invited to become the cantor of the Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv, a rare honor for someone as young as him.

While in London for one such performance, in 1986, he saw a staging of Les Miserables, with which he became enthralled.
When Dudu Fisher found out that Les Miserables was set to be released in Hebrew, in Israel, he auditioned for a part in the musical, even though he had no prior experience in acting, on stage or off. This however did not stop him in the least, leading him to pursue a long time dream of his. A fairy tale come true, and just as has been with some legendary Broadway musicals, he was chosen by the director of Les Miserables, Stephen Pimlot for the main role, that of Jean Valjean.

Following this, he went on to sing at a FIFA World Cup final at the famous Wembly Stadium. He is also a renowned musician, having recorded more than twenty albums to date.
