Les Miserables is coming to Hertfordshire...

Sandringham School have just started rehearsals this week for their annual whole school show; Les Miserables: Schools Edition.

This legendary musical has been specially adapted to meet the needs of young performers. This author-approved edition has been abridged to a running time of just over two hours, while carefully maintaining the integrity of one the greatest musicals ever written. This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and not only becomes and honest man, but the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean’s adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed.

With a cast of over 100 this is sure to be one of the biggest School shows Sandringham has seen! Tickets will be on sale from Monday 4th November 2013. Book early to avoid disappointment.
