Les Miserables School Edition is Great River’s next show and a phenomenal one. It has been amazing being involved in theatre at this school, being in shows, and watching others. I am very grateful for the chance to be the front of house manager and tell people how amazing our shows are, and how groundbreaking this one will be. Les Misérables has an incredible and very hardworking, dedicated, and talented cast and crew. I think this will be one of, if not the best show yet.
Rather than just tell you about the performance and people involved. Hear from them yourself:
“People should come see Les Mis because we spent a lot of time to make this presentable, and it makes it mean a lot more if others come to see our hard work.”
Liam Duffy (actor)
“I LOVE LES MIS!!! COME SEE OUR SUPER AWESOME HISTORICAL COSTUMING AND CASTING!” - Rey (actor)
“I love Les Mis because we have amazing beautiful actors with amazing beautiful voices, who show great emotion. I can imagine no others playing their parts.”
Mavis (actor)
“When I heard we were doing Les MIs here, I was beyond baffled. How are we supposed to take on such a huge production such as Victor Hugo’s prized baby turned into a musical sensation? But I underestimated us drastically. Les MIs at GRS is going to be incredibly, stunning, and evocative, and even though we’re a small school, in a small space, the talent and passion is anything but.”
Lousie B (actor)
“The show is really awesome and cool. 👍”
James W (actor, who said the thumbs up should be included)
You should come see Les Misérables because…
“The acting & emotion conveyed in the singing.”
Nico H (crew: lighting)
“It’s a very emotionally impactful show, I’ve been at nearly every rehearsal so far and I still get emotional by the story.”
Robin (crew: stage manager)
I know based on the people involved, the talent I know they have, the singing I’ve heard, the time, energy and excitement that they have given everything about this show and that I’ve seen just while interviewing some of them or hanging around and overhearing a conversation about the show that I am beyond excited to see it.
