Show Description

Show Description

One of the world’s most iconic and longest-running musicals, Les Misérables tells the story of Jean Valjean, a former convict who spends a lifetime seeking redemption. In this School Edition, edited for High School students to perform, the score features such well known songs as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” and “Bring Him Home,” Les Mis: School Edition brings Victor Hugo’s revolutionary novel to life in a way that is accessible to younger performers without sacrificing the beauty of the story. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France and the aftermath of the French Revolution, this timeless story of intertwined destinies reveals the power of compassion and the quiet evil of indifference to human suffering. As Valjean’s quest for a new life carries him into Paris and to the barricades of the Student Revolution, he is hunted by Inspector Javert and the ghosts of his past. Amidst a battle for the soul of Paris, he discovers the true meaning of love and salvation.

Appropriate for ages 12 and up but parental guidance suggested due to some mature themes and plot points.

Rehearsal Information

Monday-Friday from 3:30 – 5:00/5:30 p.m. In the weeks preceding a performance, rehearsals increase in length and may include weekends. A rehearsal calendar is available within one week of casting.
If you MUST miss a rehearsal (other than dates specified during your registration), you MUST notify director Mrs. Jung at Susan.Jung@chca-oh.org BEFORE the fact. Do not send messages with other cast members and/or friends as that method is unreliable. Multiple absences may jeopardize your role even if they are prearranged and excused.

Please send the recording to susan.jung@chca-oh.org
