On 26th September, 50 Drama students from Years 10 – 13 went to see the iconic West End musical, Les Misérables at the Sondheim theatre in London. It is now in its 38th year and despite no revolving stage, a different venue and a smaller cast than the original production, it was still fantastic. Highlights were Fantine and Jean Valjean as well as the amazing staging, lighting and effects. Many students were rather emotional as the songs are truly beautiful and really pull at the heartstrings. You could have heard a pin drop when Jean Valjean sang ‘Bring Him Home’. It was a real privilege to introduce the next generation to Mrs Cook’s favourite show and to see how our students were so incredibly impressed by the calibre and professionalism of the whole experience.
Thanks also to Miss Rose and Mr Pilling for their invaluable help on the trip.
