HERBERT Kretzmer, the Les Miserables lyricist, has died aged 95. The lyricist and journalist was best known for his adaptation of the famous musical.

He was behind the English lyrics to the classics "I Dreamed a Dream" and "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables". The lyricist helped turn the two-hour musical into three-hours by incorporating the French words, and got Tony and Grammy nods for his work.

He was later nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe when a new song "Suddenly" was added into the film of the musical in 2012.

Paying tribute, Sir Tim Rice described him as "a giant of his trade", adding: "RIP Herbie." Les Miserables producer Cameron Mackintosh said: "It is terribly sad to hear that the great Herbert Kretzmer passed away last night.

Herbert Kretzmer, who has died aged 95, was at various times an influential theatre and television critic on Britain’s two rival mid-market newspapers, the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, before finding greater fame and infinitely greater fortune with the English libretto for the West End hit musical Les Misérables, widely reckoned the greatest show in musical history.With Alain Boublil (original French lyrics) and Claude-Michel Schönberg (music), Kretzmer was the third of the triumvirate who created the English version of Les Misérables, which since it opened in 1985 to largely negative reviews, has broken almost every box-office record.
