Les Misérables School Edition brings Victor Hugo’s epic tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption to the York School stage. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, this powerful musical follows Jean Valjean, a former prisoner seeking a new life, as he is relentlessly pursued by the rigid Inspector Javert. Along the way, we meet a cast of unforgettable characters—Fantine, Cosette, Marius, Éponine, and the passionate revolutionaries of the Paris Uprising—each with their own dreams, struggles, and triumphs. Featuring iconic songs like “I Dreamed a Dream”, “On My Own”, “Do You Hear the People Sing?”, and “One Day More”, this School Edition has been adapted for young performers while preserving the grandeur and emotional depth of the original. Open to students in grades 8-12, this production offers an incredible opportunity to engage in one of musical theatre’s most celebrated works. Join us as we bring this timeless story to life!
