Les Misérables: School Edition delighted audiences night after night with our talented performers, musicians and crew receiving rave reviews and standing ovations throughout the four night run of the iconic musical.
Senior School pupils from Year 7 to Year 13 took to the stage in the breath-taking production with pupils taking on roles such as Jean Valjean, Fantine, and Eponine so beautifully, displaying an extraordinary amount of musical talent as well as fantastic acting skills, guided by Directors Mrs Betts-Nicholson and Mr Yu.
Accompanying our fantastic cast was the incredible band led by our Director of Music, Mr Tim Sagar, with equal number of pupils joining professional musicians to provide the full orchestral backdrop that forms the basis of the show. Superb lighting and crew also made for a high-quality production that wowed audiences.
Prior to show week, we welcomed back alumnus, actor and Les Misérables lead, Will Barratt to School to deliver a fantastic workshop with pupils ahead of their performances. The masterclass was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to rehearse and gain practical advice from Will who played Jean Valjean in the show for over 14 months in the Les Misérables UK Theatre tour.
Thank you to everyone involved in staging such a fantastic production and to all who attended the sell-out shows and made it such a memorable week!
