Young actors bring Les Misérables to life

WEST END classic Les Misérables has taken over the Civic stage this week — with a young cast bringing to life some of musical theatre’s best-known songs.

Wickersley Youngstars’ production of the story of prisoner Valjean’s struggle and redemption runs until Thursday night, with performances starting at 7.30pm.

With such emotive songs as I Dreamed A Dream, On My Own, Bring Him Home and the amusing Master Of The House, the story shows Valjean’s struggle to keep his promise to God to stay an honest man.

Written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, the Wickersley Youngstars show is a school edition specially adapted and licensed by Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Music Theatre International and Cameron Mackintosh (Overseas) Limited.
