LES MISERABLES (SCHOOL EDITION)
12 – 14 APRIL 2018
THE HAYMARKET, BASINGSTOKE
Les Miserables (School Edition) was performed over four shows in April to sell-out audiences at The Haymarket, Basingstoke. Director/choreographer was Gary J Myers, who was working for the first time with the society.
Les Miserables was such a big show to do – it involved a huge set, a huge cast and huge songs! The characters of Mme Thenardier, Gavroche, Young Cosette and Young Eponine were shared, with each being played twice by the same person over the four-show period.
NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Arts) South East region awarded it Best Youth Musical and also an Accolade of Musical Excellence for 2018. Sadly, Gary J Myers died suddenly and unexpectedly on 27th June 2018, before the award was announced.
