Les Misérables is one of literature’s most famous and most emotionally powerful works. Published over 150 years ago by French poet Victor Hugo, the story features an epic cast of characters over a 17-year period as they struggle to survive in early 19th century France.
Since it was first published in 1862, Les Misérables has been adapted for TV, film (most recently in 2012) and the stage as a musical. This January you’ll have the chance to see the heart-tugging musical on stage for yourself when the Young Australian Broadway Chorus (YABC) presents its own production of the timeless masterpiece.
Les Misérables presented by the Young Australian Broadway Chorus will see the classic novel and riveting stage musical brought to life by some of Melbourne’s most dazzling young performers. Though the cast is young, many of them are already seasoned actors and singers who have trained with YABC for many years. The organisation is known for training children and young people in the theatre arts, with past alumni going on to score roles in some of Australia’s most beloved recent stage productions like The Wizard of Oz, Muriel’s Wedding and Jersey Boys.
After their 2018 season of Wicked received stellar reviews, the YABC's production of Les Misérables will be their most ambitious show to date. The musical stage show will feature a cast of more than 100 talented young actors and singers as well as a full youth orchestra to perform the spectacular score.
Les Misérables will be performed by the YABC for a strictly limited season from January 18 to 26, 2019. Tickets are already selling fast, and if Wicked is anything to go by, don’t wait one day more to get yours. Available now.
